A new study led by the University of Texas at Austin has uncovered the first record of theropod, a group of dinosaurs whose descendants are modern birds and their non-bird relatives — from Patagonia in Chile, according to a news release.
A NASA study has pioneered the use of virtual reality (VR) and scents to aid in the behavioral changes that can occur during long space missions, such as the moon or Mars.
The University of Zurich recently released a study that shows that chimpanzees, the closest living relatives to humans, have a culture that is much more like ours than previously known.
A study by researchers at the University of Zurich (UZH) found that vocal communication has been a means of communication for aquatic and land animals for more than 400 million years.
Researchers have discovered a protein that could help develop new home tests for a variety of diseases, according to a University of Texas at Austin news release.
Researchers from Texas A&M University, the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia have found a genetic pathway that influences sleep in animals and humans.
One-third of 986 patients achieved long-term self-care of their type 2 diabetes after building trusting relationships with community health workers (promotores in Spanish) over 12 weeks
A new study finds treeshrews increase in size in warmer settings, contrary to established norms.
Less than half of mums meet the recommended levels of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity – and mothers of younger children manage to do the least, Cambridge and Southampton researchers have found.
Water – which makes up the majority of every cell in the body – plays a key role in how proteins, including those associated with Parkinson’s disease, fold, misfold, or clump together, according to a new study.
Cambridge researchers have highlighted how lack of access to a computer was linked to poorer mental health among young people and adolescents during COVID-19 lockdowns.
An experiment carried out across ten workplace cafeterias found no significant change in the overall number of calories purchased when food and drink labels showed the amount of physical activity required to burn off their calories.
Autistic people are more vulnerable to depression and anxiety during pregnancy, according to new research from the University of Cambridge. The results are published in the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders and have important implications for supporting autistic people during pregnancy.
New autism diagnoses tend to be clustered within specific NHS service regions, suggesting that where an individual lives may influence whether they receive an autism diagnosis and access to special education needs support.
Cambridge scientists have shown that it may be possible to spot signs of brain impairment in patients as early as nine years before they receive a diagnosis for one of a number of dementia-related diseases.
Cambridge scientists have used synthetic biology to create artificial enzymes programmed to target the genetic code of SARS-CoV-2 and destroy the virus, an approach that could be used to develop a new generation of antiviral drugs.
People who have a past history of hospitalisation because of substance use disorders have much worse outcomes following the onset of a wide range of physical health conditions, according to researchers in the UK and Czechia.
Referrals to Cambridge’s long COVID clinic fell dramatically in the period August 2021 to June 2022, which researchers say is likely due to the successful rollout of the vaccine.
Scientists have shown that in one in every 4,000 births, some of the genetic code from our mitochondria – the ‘batteries’ that power our cells – inserts itself into our DNA, revealing a surprising new insight into how humans evolve.
Experts are calling on the Government to continue focusing on ‘levelling-up’ health, arguing that reducing the health gap is too important an agenda to abandon.
