The lengthening of Earth’s days has been a subject of great interest among scientists. While it is well-known that the Moon’s gradual movement away from our planet is causing days to get longer, there was a significant period in Earth’s history when this trend paused. Recent research by a team of astrophysicists from the University
In a recent 18-month trial, pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly has made significant strides in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease with their drug, donanemab. The trial results revealed that donanemab has the potential to delay the progression of this debilitating disease by up to 35.1 percent. This breakthrough offers hope for patients in the early stages
A recent study challenges the prevailing notion that fat tissue alone is responsible for the metabolic benefits associated with exposure to cold temperatures. Researchers from Canada have conducted a peer-reviewed comment article explaining how skeletal muscles are the primary heat generators and drive the metabolism of glucose and lipids when temperatures drop. The interest in
