RNA that doesn't age

Science Daily: Pharmacology News

Certain RNA molecules in the nerve cells in the brain last a life time without being renewed. Neuroscientists have now demonstrated that this. RNAs are generally short-lived molecules that are constantly reconstructed to adjust to environmental conditions. The research group hopes to decipher the complex aging process of the brain and gain a better understanding of related degenerative diseases.

social media as a mental health issue

Sheffield DPH

Went to a fascinating discussion a few weeks ago on social media as a mental health issue. I recently heard that a stat that of the 114bn posts on TikTok containing mental health information, 80% contain some form of misinformation (I can’t vouch for the accuracy of the stat). SM was designed as a tool to connect us, the actual impact is that it has divided and actively polarized us.

A simple, inexpensive way to make carbon atoms bind together

Science Daily: Pharmacology News

The active ingredient in many drugs is what's known as a small molecule: bigger than water, much smaller than an antibody and mainly made of carbon. It's tough, however, to make these molecules if they require a quaternary carbon -- a carbon atom bonded to four other carbon atoms. But now, scientists have uncovered a potential cost-effective way to produce these tricky motifs.

CHEOPS detects a 'rainbow' on an exoplanet

The CHEOPS space telescope is providing new information on the mysterious exoplanet WASP-76b. This ultra-hot giant is characterized by an asymmetry between the amount of light observed on its eastern terminator -- the fictitious line that separates its night side from its day side -- and that observed on its western terminator. This peculiarity is thought to be due to a 'glory', a luminous phenomenon similar to a rainbow, which occurs if the light from the star -- the 'sun' around which the exop

I spy with my speedy eye: Scientists discover speed of visual perception ranges widely in humans

Science Daily: Pharmacology News

Using a blink-and-you'll-miss-it experiment, researchers have discovered that individuals differ widely in the rate at which they perceive visual signals. Some people perceive a rapidly changing visual cue at frequencies that others cannot, which means some access more visual information per timeframe than others. This discovery suggests some people have an innate advantage in certain settings where response time is crucial, such as in ball sports, or in competitive gaming.
