A recent study indicates that female mice experience distinct brain rewiring after ketamine anesthesia. Researchers found that a surge in the stress hormone corticosterone drives immune cells to build new neural…
A small study found that male mice infected with a severe form of SARS-CoV-2 passed anxiety-like behaviors to their offspring. The researchers traced these intergenerational changes to altered molecular messengers inside…
Four in ten children who attend Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) in Scotland go on to attend specialist psychiatric services as adults, according to new research.
Gaslighting psychology: Recent studies indicate that gaslighting operates as a gradual learning mechanism, undermining one’s grasp of reality. Individuals begin to place their trust in unexpected and ...
Pickleball offers retirees a way to forge a new identity after leaving the workforce. But a new study suggests that building skills and social bonds is more important than simply spending hours on the court.
Studies suggest AI can weaken learning when it replaces effort, but tools that guide rather than answer may help people keep their skills.
A study published in the Journal of Public Economics suggests that local dating markets shape pregnancy health. Having more available male partners is associated with stronger relationships, lower maternal infection…
People with borderline personality disorder may experience low-grade systemic inflammation that corresponds to structural differences in the brain's internal wiring. A recent study links elevated immune markers to…
An emperor penguin colony in Antarctica saw a massive decline in chicks in 2025. The contours of a nearby grounded iceberg may have been the cause.
Japanese men prefer a female body proportion that is exceptionally rare in real life. New research suggests that waist-to-bust ratio, rather than waist-to-hip ratio, drives attractiveness ratings, pointing to media…
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) occupies a unique position in the oncology armamentarium — a modality that harnesses the ...
Is the fear of death keeping you awake? Recent research suggests that intense death anxiety predicts stronger insomnia symptoms, a link partially explained by a rise in severe nightmares.
A recent study indicates that loneliness alters how we perceive internal physical signals. Lonely individuals tend to distrust their bodily sensations and show reduced brain responses to their heartbeats, offering a…
The way children talk about stressful or difficult events can predict future mental health struggles, according to a new study. View on euronews ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 123, Issue 32, August 2026. Current methods for assessing low-abundance proteins in individual cells are limited. As a result, cell functions are often inferred…
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 123, Issue 32, August 2026. SignificanceOlfaction lacks a general quantitative framework comparable to those long established for vision and hearing, especially for…
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 123, Issue 32, August 2026. SignificanceRain initiation in clouds containing only liquid droplets, known as warm clouds, remains poorly understood. Using a fast…
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 123, Issue 32, August 2026. SignificanceUnderstanding pathogen recognition in crops is key to improving disease resistance. Our study identified a cell surface…
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 123, Issue 32, August 2026. SignificanceWhy do people choose different paths through higher education? We study whether part of the answer lies in differences in…
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 123, Issue 32, August 2026. SignificanceThe angiotensin II type I receptor (AT1R) is a key regulator of cardiovascular function and is traditionally activated by…
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 123, Issue 32, August 2026. SignificanceGlucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), including semaglutide, are highly effective antiobesity drugs, yet how…
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 123, Issue 32, August 2026. SignificanceWe demonstrate that fly gut cells possess a system to detect the quantity rather than the quality of molecules in food…
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 123, Issue 32, August 2026. SignificanceDecarbonizing chemical manufacturing requires efficient methods to upgrade CO2into functional carbon feedstock. Integrating…
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 123, Issue 32, August 2026. SignificanceWhole-genome duplication (WGD) is a key driver of plant evolution, often proposed to enhance adaptation to novel or…
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 123, Issue 32, August 2026. SignificanceRecent quasi-experimental studies show that early-life sugar restriction reduces cardiometabolic disease risk, but whether…
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 123, Issue 32, August 2026. SignificanceHow enzymes orchestrate complex atomic rearrangements remains a central question in biology and chemistry. Biosynthesis of…
