A federal judge is preventing the Trump administration from drastically cutting medical research funding. Scientists say the policy will endanger patients and delay new lifesaving discoveries. The new National Institutes of Health policy would strip research groups of hundreds of millions of dollars to cover so-called indirect expenses of studying Alzheimer’s, cancer, heart disease and…
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in zoo gorillas, but its origins remain unknown. Researchers from the University of Minnesota, in collaboration with national and international partners, have studied the trillions of microbes that live in the gastrointestinal tracts of gorillas to determine whether a link exists between the gut microbiome and heart…
Sweden’s radioactive nuclear waste will be stored in a sealed bedrock repository for 100,000 years. It will be hazardous for a very long time. So how can we ensure that humanity does not forget that it is there? Researchers at Linköping University, Sweden, have come up with a proposal for how to keep the memory…
