A study conducted in Brazil on 805 people in their 50s confirmed that those with hearing loss had an increased risk of cognitive decline. The results, published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, point to the need for greater attention to hearing health as a way to prevent dementia. “Hearing loss is what we call a modifiable risk factor for dementia, including Alzheimer’s, precisely because it can be detected and corrected. By 2050, more than 70% of people with dementia [...]

Recent research from the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in Brazil has provided fresh insights into the historical extinction of saber-toothed tigers and the decline of antilocaprid species in North America. These findings reveal how predator-prey dynamics have shaped evolutionary outcomes over millions of years. One study published in the Journal of Evolutionary Biology examined fossil records, body size estimates, and climate variations spanning the last 20 million years in North [...]

Everything in life is interconnected, especially when it comes to health. Menstrual health has a huge role in defining the overall health and wellness of women. Turns out, the age of your first period has a huge role in what’s to come later in life. A recent study has shown that the age at which a woman experiences her first period may offer important clues about her long-term health.According to a new Brazilian study presented at ENDO 2025, the Endocrine Society’s annual meeting in [...]

Age of first period offers clues to heart, metabolic, and reproductive risks in the future. Everything in life is interconnected, especially when it comes to health.

Researchers at the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, are developing a panel of biomarkers for the early detection of Alzheimer’s disease and for distinguishing it from other types of dementia using blood tests. The research project is supported by FAPESP and is based on the genotype analysis of 500 volunteers with and without the disease. One of the most recent findings by the research group, published in the journal Neurobiology [...]

As the world struggles with resource depletion and climate change, our dinner plates are gradually changing. Food science labs, kitchens, and even supermarkets are experiencing a silent revolution in meat substitutes. There has never been a greater need to discover sustainable, plant-based protein sources. Scientists are investigating new, lesser-known crops, but soy and pea proteins continue to dominate store shelves. A recent discovery from a joint effort involving the University of Campinas [...]

A two-month intervention involving sensory-motor exercises paired with cognitive tasks led to improved reading speed in a group of eleven children aged 10 to 12 diagnosed with dyslexia. The program featured engaging, play-based activities designed to strengthen both motor coordination and social interaction. The findings, highlighting the potential of combining movement and mental stimulation to enhance reading skills, were published in Applied Neuropsychology: [...]

For the first time, an international team of scientists has experimentally simulated spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) at zero temperature using a superconducting quantum processor. This achievement, which was accomplished with over 80% fidelity, represents a milestone for quantum computing and condensed matter physics. The system began in a classical antiferromagnetic state, in which particles have spins that alternate between one direction and the opposite direction. It then evolved into [...]

Soaking up some sunshine can not only brighten your day, but also have therapeutic effects. Vitamin D, also known as the ‘sunshine vitamin’, which the body naturally produces when exposed to the sun, and also found in certain foods are essential nutrient. This fat-soluble nutrient plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy bones, supporting immune function, and promoting overall well-being. A new study has found that vitamin D supplementation nearly doubled the treatment response rate in [...]
