The strain of bird flu is distinct from what has previously been found in dairy cattle. The finding means the virus has again spilled over from birds to cows, and it raises some worrying questions.
Nature Mental Health, Published online: 06 February 2025; doi:10.1038/s44220-025-00387-6 In this study, the authors report that maternal plasma biomarkers of acetaminophen exposure during pregnancy were associated with an increased risk of a diagnosis of child attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The findings suggest that acetaminophen exposure impacts immune pathways and oxidative phosphorylation, potentially mediating neurodevelopmental risks.
In much of the U.S., illegal cannabis outcompetes legal weed sold in licensed shops. For consumers, it can be difficult to find regulated cannabis but there are tips on how to do that.
A survey released this week found that improving the affordability and access to health care is a top priority for Americans, with participants across party lines saying they see the federal government as having a key role in this issue. The survey was conducted by Gallup and Emory Universitys Rollins School of Public Health, and participants were asked to rank public health issues in terms of importance.

Research reveals that even low levels of air pollution significantly increase the risk of respiratory infections in adults, highlighting urgent health concerns.
The publish or perish culture in academia gave rise to predatory journalsentities that mimic legitimate academic publications but operate without any real peer review or editorial oversight
Boosting communication between the spinal nerves and the muscles using the spinal cord stimulation reverses spinal muscle atrophy (SMA) progression and could be applied to other motoneuron diseases, including ALS.
A researcher has discovered a new method to remove so-called 'forever chemicals' from our drinking water by heating the PFAS with granular activated carbon. The discovery represents a significant breakthrough in managing PFAS-containing solid wastes, biosolids and spent adsorbent media that are major concerns to farmers and communities.
Olive oil bioactives, including MUFAs, polyphenols, and triterpenoids, modulate gene expression linked to insulin sensitivity, inflammation, and beta-cell function, offering potential benefits for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus prevention and management.
There's a 26 per cent annual chance that space rocket junk will re-enter the atmosphere and pass through a busy flight area, according to a recent study. While the chance of debris hitting an aircraft is very low, the research highlights that the potential for uncontrolled space rocket junk to disrupt flights and create additional costs for airlines and passengers is not.
A new drug-free, minimally invasive intervention targets the root cause of progressive loss of neural function in spinal muscle atrophy (SMA), an inherited neuromuscular disease.
In a milestone that brings quantum computing tangibly closer to large-scale practical use, scientists have demonstrated the first instance of distributed quantum computing. Using a photonic network interface, they successfully linked two separate quantum processors to form a single, fully connected quantum computer, paving the way to tackling computational challenges previously out of reach.
A new Weizmann Institute study identified all of the proteins in a stool sample those from the microbiome, the human body and food revealing the hidden secrets of the intestines and their impact on human disease
A newly discovered line of communication between body muscle and the pituitary gland may play an unexpected role in female fertility, according to a new study.
Students attending schools that ban the use of phones throughout the school day aren't necessarily experiencing better mental health and wellbeing, as the first worldwide study of its kind has found that just banning smartphones is not enough to tackle their negative impacts.
Researchers report that all nine patients in a clinical trial being treated for stage III or IV clear cell renal cell carcinoma (a form of kidney cancer), generated a successful anti-cancer immune response after initiation of a personalized cancer vaccine.
Nature Reviews Earth & Environment, Published online: 06 February 2025; doi:10.1038/s43017-024-00627-w Anthropogenic warming is perturbing the Arctic carbon cycle. This Review provides an overview of contemporary carbon stocks and fluxes across terrestrial, aquatic and oceanic components of the integrated Arctic system.
Genetic variants linked to autism are associated with structural differences in neonatal white matter, particularly increased fiber-bundle cross-section in the left superior corona radiata, highlighting early neurodevelopmental influences.
Sixty-six million years ago, at the end of the Cretaceous Period, an asteroid impact near the Yucat n Peninsula of Mexico triggered the extinction of all known non-bird dinosaurs. But for the early ancestors of today's waterfowl, surviving that mass extinction event was like. water off a duck's back. Location matters, as Antarctica may have served as a refuge, protected by its distance from the turmoil taking place elsewhere on the planet.
A nasal vaccine for COVID-19 based on technology developed at Washington University in St. Louis is poised to enter a phase 1 clinical trial in the U.S. after an investigational new drug application from Ocugen, Inc. was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Ocugen, a U.S.-based biotechnology company, licensed the innovative technology from WashU in 2022.
Reducing sulphur in the air may inadvertently increase natural emissions of methane from wetlands such as peatlands and swamps, a new study has found. The resulting additional future release of 20-34 million tons of methane each year from natural wetlands would mean targets to reduce human-caused emissions need to be more stringent than currently set out in the Global Methane Pledge.
Children and young people who are Black or Hispanic are less likely to be diagnosed with migraine than those who are white when being seen for headache in a pediatric emergency department, according to a study published in the February 5, 2025, online issue of Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
Remember that sharp pain while biting down on popcorn? Or the dreaded dentist visit with the news of a cavity? Cavities, also known as dental caries, are a common problem affecting people of all ages. These tiny holes in your teeth are caused by a breakdown of tooth enamel, the hard outer layer protecting your teeth. Cavities are often painful, expensive to treat and ultimately lead to tooth loss.
The new Kids First datasets advance our understanding of how genetics contribute to childhood cancers and congenital disorders, opening new doors for prevention and treatment.
Nature Mental Health, Published online: 06 February 2025; doi:10.1038/s44220-025-00385-8 Comparing clinically diagnosed adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) with online participants with self-reported high autistic traits, this study detected higher rates of social anxiety and avoidance symptoms in online participants, emphasizing the potential distinctions between clinically ascertained autism and self-reported trait-based samples.
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common digestive disorder that affects the intestine, causing symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, gas, and changes in bowel habits, including diarrhea, constipation, or both.
Physicists measured how readily a current of electron pairs flows through 'magic-angle' graphene, a major step toward understanding how this unusual material superconducts. By determining how readily electron pairs flow through this material, scientists have taken a big step toward understanding its remarkable properties.
The proportion of new cases of schizophrenia associated with a cannabis use disorder has risen from 4% pre-legalization to 10% after cannabis legalization in Ontario, according to new research.
