A new theory describes what all animals have in common and allows predictions for organisms that might not be well understood by science.
Research led by the University of Arizona has resulted in a set of equations that describes and predicts commonalities across life despite its enormous diversity. (more…)
ForscherInnen zeigen Weg von Zearalenon durch den Mutterleib mittels neuer Technologie
Frühkindliches Leben im Mutterleib gilt als besonders empfindlich gegenüber Umweltschadstoffen. Ein Team um Benedikt Warth von der Fakultät für Chemie der Universität Wien und Tina Bürki vom Schweizer Materialforschungsinstitut Empa konnte nun erstmals nachweisen, wie sich das verbreitete Lebensmittelöstrogen Zearalenon im Mutterleib verbreitet. Mittels einer neuen analytischen Methode zeigte sich, dass das Fremdöstrogen die Plazenta durchwandern kann und zu bedenklichen Stoffwechselprodukten umgewandelt wird. Die Studie ist aktuell in der Fachzeitschrift “Environmental Health Perspectives” erschienen.

The first time people don the new HoloLens 2 on their heads, the device automatically gets to know them: It measures everything from the precise shape of their hands to the exact distance between their eyes.
The artificial intelligence research and development that enabled those capabilities “was astonishingly complicated” but essential to making the experience of using the device “instinctual,” said Jamie Shotton, a partner scientist who leads the HoloLens science team in Cambridge, United Kingdom.

Marijuana was formerly only used as a psychoactive drug, which had it banned for many years until the advanced medical research found it to be beneficial for several medical and psychological disorders. If you are tired of trying antibiotics and other regular medications for your anxiety headaches, emotional distress, maybe it’s time for you to consult medical marijuana doctors. They offer multiple benefits for health that are not only restricted to humans, rather they are equally fruitful for your pets. Medical marijuana is specifically designed to treat disorders like depression, arthritis, anxiety, and other such health-related issues. However, proper consultation from the marijuana doctor is highly recommended for it to be effective. (more…)
While opioids are often prescribed to treat people with trauma-related pain, a new UCLA-led study suggests doctors should use caution before prescribing the drug to those they believe may experience severe stress in the future, in order to reduce the risk the patient will develop PTSD. (more…)
Wolken entstehen aus Wassertröpfchen, die sich um Aerosolpartikel in der Atmosphäre bilden. Luftschadstoffe tragen zur Entstehung dieser Aerosole wesentlich bei. Nun haben Wissenschaftler aus Frankreich, Japan und Österreich im Labor einen bisher völlig unbekannten Prozess entdeckt: Die Bildung von Aerosolen wird in ihrer frühen Phase durch die Gegenwart von Pyridinium-Ionen befördert.
