The first time alcohol was reintroduced, the monkeys who had received the gene therapy decreased their drinking by about 50 percent compared to a control group of monkeys that didn’t get the therapy. Every time researchers reintroduced alcohol after an abstinence period, the animals that got the gene therapy drank less than they did before the treatment. By the end of the year, their alcohol consumption dropped by more than 90 percent compared to the control group.Grant was stunned. She had previously studied how primates respond to other drugs for alcohol use disorder, but had never seen such a big…

Further research is required, but taurine supplements could have potential in prolonging people’s longevityphoto_gonzo/Alamy We lose levels of the amino acid taurine as we age, with experiments in mice and monkeys suggesting that supplements could reverse this loss to keep us healthy and potentially even extend our lifespan. Found in many animals, including humans, taurine is naturally synthesised in the pancreas, but can also be obtained by eating animal products. Previous studies have found that taurine deficiencies in early life impair the skeletal muscle and central nervous system in mice, as well as causing retinal degeneration in mice and cats,…

Generally, when a new author starts their publishing journey, they must decide whether to go “young adult” or “adult.” That is, they must decide whether to write for young adult or adult audiences. A YA romance is vastly different from adult romance. YA contemporary fiction is not the same as new adult fiction. As a voracious reader, you would definitely tell the difference.

CLIMATEWIRE | Climate activists are like Nazis. Wind and solar power pollute the Earth and make life miserable. Recent global and local heat records reflect natural temperature cycles. These are some of the themes of children’s videos produced by an influential conservative advocacy group. Now, the videos could soon be used in Florida’s classrooms. Florida’s Department of Education has approved the classroom use of material from the Prager University Foundation, a conservative group that produces videos that distort science, history, gender and other topics. Education experts call the videos dangerous propaganda. Florida is the first state to allow PragerU materials in…
A League of Their Own is going in the dugout: Prime Video has canceled the second and final season of its series re-imagining of the classic 1992 film, Variety reports. Sources said the cancellation is due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strikes, which have effectively shut down all major studios. This setback would have delayed the debut of the second season until at least 2025, whereas the first season premiered in August 2022. Following the eight-episode pilot season, it was greenlit for a four-episode Season 2. Co-created by Abbi Jacobson (Broad City) and Will Graham (Mozart In the Jungle), the A League of Their…

The purest joy of Summer 2023 has been the varied and plentiful memes celebrating “Barbenheimer,” that perfect, explosive cognitively dissonant confection – the high-speed particle collision of Greta Gerwig’s pink, feminist anthem and Christopher Nolan’s bleak AF meditation on the men who might have ended the world. I’ll confess it, every time I see “I am become death, destroyer of worlds,” in playful bubble letters scroll past on the timeline, I’m delighted all over again.

TikTok recently announced that its users in the European Union will soon be able to switch off its infamously engaging content-selection algorithm. The EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA) is driving this change as part of the region’s broader effort to regulate AI and digital services in accordance with human rights and values.TikTok’s algorithm learns from users’ interactions—how long they watch, what they like, when they share a video—to create a highly tailored and immersive experience that can shape their mental states, preferences, and behaviors without their full awareness or consent. An opt-out feature is a great step toward protecting cognitive…
A novel peptide of GFFY capable of efficiently crossing the blood-brain barrier (BBB) by specific insulin receptor-mediated transcytosis. Credit: Science China Press In a paper published in Science China Materials, a research team reports on a novel tetrapeptide, GFFY, which is capable of efficiently crossing the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The tetrapeptide is highly versatile in covalent labeling with Cy5.5 and the resulting Cy5.5-GFFY can self-assemble into nanospheres. The researchers demonstrate that the nanospheres can efficiently deliver Cy5.5 to the brain by a fold increase of approximate 2.43, which is comparable to Cy5 penetration of damaged BBB in traumatic brain injury…

Alfred Hitchcock is one of the most respected directors ever. That’s why remakes of his material don’t usually do well. Robert Downey Jr. hopes to change that. While not all of Hitchcock’s films were the most received at their time, and some of his later works never really took off, he’s now considered one of the best. From Psycho to Rebecca, he’s responsible for some of the most iconic thrillers ever made. Psycho is especially notable because it makes the decision to kill off the top-billed star very quickly. That kind of thing simply wasn’t done at the time of the film’s release.One of Hithcock’s undisputed masterpieces…

You might be surprised to learn that you can’t comb the hairs flat on a coconut without creating a cowlick. Perhaps even more surprising, this silly claim with an even sillier name, “the hairy ball theorem,” is a proud discovery from a branch of math called topology. Juvenile humor aside, the theorem has far-reaching consequences in meteorology, radio transmission and nuclear power.Here, “cowlick” can mean either a bald spot or a tuft of hair sticking straight up, like the one the character Alfalfa sports in “The Little Rascals.” Of course, mathematicians don’t refer to coconuts or cowlicks in their framing…

Last Friday the Food and Drug Administration approved the first oral pill specifically targeted to treat postpartum depression—the most common complication of childbirth. The new medication, known as zuranolone, works more quickly than existing antidepressant treatments for postpartum depression and is given once a day for just two weeks. One in seven people who have given birth experience postpartum depression, but roughly half of people with the condition do not receive treatment. As mental health struggles have become the leading cause of pregnancy-related deaths in the U.S., experts emphasize the importance of expanding the arsenal of treatments for postpartum depression.…
Billy Joel recently likened Taylor Swift’s current level of popularity as akin to “the phenomenon of Beatlemania,” and it’s hard to disagree — especially after seeing scenes like the one that unfolded in Long Beach Island, New Jersey on Friday. The singer, fresh off the first US leg of “The Eras Tour,” was reportedly in the area to attend producer Jack Antonoff and actress Margaret Qualley’s wedding. Once word got out of her presence, however, hordes of people congregated outside of the venue, hoping to get a glimpse of the singer. At one point, people chanted her name. Eventually, police…

Sources have given mixed intel about Kim Kardashian and Tom Brady’s relationship, with many saying that the two stars are not dating.
