Scientists develop an evolutionary theory of stress

[ad_1] Scientists have created an evolutionary model to predict how animals should react in stressful situations. Almost all organisms have fast-acting stress responses, which help them respond to threats, but being stressed consumes energy and chronic stress can be harmful. The new study by an international team, which includes researchers …

Scientists predict “optimal” stress levels

[ad_1] Scientists have created an evolutionary model to predict how animals should react in stressful situations. Almost all organisms have fast-acting stress responses, which help them respond to threats, but being stressed consumes energy and chronic stress can be harmful. The new study – led by an international team that …

a trace of early diagnosis through blood tests

[ad_1] Blood tests could someday detect patients at risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease by measuring the levels of two molecules in their blood, according to preliminary research released Monday. Depending on the concentration of these two molecules, called ptau 181 and NfL, we could predict future progression of Alzheimer’s disease …

Fast radio bursts are likely to be caused by magnetars

[ad_1] For over a decade, the phenomenon known as fast radio bursts has excited and bewildered astronomers. These extraordinarily bright but extremely short bursts of radio waves – lasting a few milliseconds – reach Earth from galaxies billions of light years away. In April 2020, one of the explosions was …

Cosmic flashes come in all different sizes

[ad_1] Chalmers University of Technology Studying the site of a spectacular stellar explosion observed in April 2020, a team of scientists led by Chalmers used four European radio telescopes to confirm that astronomy’s most exciting puzzle is about to be solved. Fast radio bursts, the unpredictable millisecond radio signals seen …

Glycine in space produced by dark chemistry

[ad_1] An international team of laboratory astrophysicists and astrochemical modellers has shown that glycine, the simplest amino acid and an important building block of life, can form under the harsh conditions that govern chemistry in space. The results were published this week in Nature Astronomy and show that glycine and …
