A group of brain cells called orexin neurons appears to help us keep working when reaching a reward becomes increasingly difficult。 Blocking their activity weakened motivation in rats, pointing to a possible new target for understanding why people sometimes struggle to sustain goal-directed behavior

Researchers found that insulin-producing cells depend on a team of helper proteins to keep insulin production on track。 When one key partner was missing, damaged proteins built up and the cells made less insulin。 Strengthening this system could offer a new way to protect the pancreas as diabetes progresses

Modern humans carry DNA from two mysterious extinct lineages in addition to Neanderthals and Denisovans。 Their hidden genetic legacy shows that our evolutionary past was shaped by repeated mixing among many different human groups

Low arginine levels may allow cancer cells and viruses to slip past the immune system by reducing production of a crucial cellular warning protein。 In mice, arginine-rich diets led to fewer colon tumors and milder viral infections, suggesting a simple supplement could have powerful therapeutic potential

Weight loss is not simply a test of willpower。 The human brain evolved to protect body fat during times of scarcity, and it can treat a previously higher weight as the new normal, triggering stronger hunger, cravings, and lower energy use after weight loss。 This biological “memory” helps explain why many people regain weight after dieting and why m

Researchers discovered a proton-assisted mechanism that greatly improves how triplet energy moves between quantum dots and nearby molecules。 The proton briefly shifts position, helps coordinate electron movement, and then returns to where it started。 This quantum-driven shuttle could offer a powerful new way to tune solar cells, lasers, and catalyt

Cancer cells rely on powerful genetic switches to keep growth genes running at full speed, but that intense activity can damage their own DNA。 The resulting breaks are repeatedly repaired, sometimes with small mistakes that allow new mutations to accumulate。 Researchers believe this self-inflicted damage may help tumors evolve while also creating a

Ati Robotics assembles its robots in India and uses just a few Chinese parts—a strategy that could pay off as the Trump administration cracks down on Chinese humanoids

DNA traces in the Shroud of Turin reveal a remarkable mixture of human lineages, microbes, plants, animals, and coral accumulated through centuries of handling and travel。 The findings do not prove its age or authenticity, but they expose a hidden biological history preserved in the famous cloth

Scientists have uncovered a surprising way that “jumping genes” may move between species and speed up evolution。 While these mobile genetic elements were thought to travel mainly inside viruses or plasmids, researchers found circular intron RNA from a tiny predatory bacterium inside the dead cells of another microorganism。 Because the RNA forms a s
