Researchers with McMaster University have made an important Huntington’s Disease discovery. Members of the Truant Lab have found that the protein mutated in patients with Huntington’s Disease doesn't repair DNA as intended, impacting the ability of brain cells to heal themselves.

Sophia Friesen Mental health issues are one of the most common causes of disability, affecting more than a billion people worldwide. Addressing mental health difficulties can present extraordinarily tough problems: what can providers do to help people in the most precarious situations? How do changes in the physical brain affect our thoughts and experiences? And at the end of the day, how can everyone get the care they need? Answering those questions was the shared goal of the researchers who attended the Mental Health, Brain, and Behavioral Science Research Day in September.
Listening to people with Parkinson’s disease made an automatic speech recognizer 30% more accurate, according to initial findings from the Speech Accessibility Project. Speech recordings used in the study are freely available to organizations looking to improve their voice recognition devices.
A research team has successfully enhanced the thermostability of Carboxypeptidase A (CPA), a crucial enzyme with significant potential in the food and pharmaceutical industries, through the innovative use of disulfide bonds.
Scientists have developed a bioinspired yarn capable of harvesting water from fog, providing an innovative solution to water scarcity in arid regions. By imitating the alternating hydrophobic and hydrophilic patterns seen in desert beetles and the water-transporting abilities of micro/nanoscale one-dimensional spider silk, this double-strand yarn accelerates droplet formation, offering a promising approach to tackling the global water crisis.Water scarcity is an increasingly urgent issue, particularly in remote and dry regions where access to fresh water is limited. Conventional methods of atmospheric water collection are often inefficient due to high energy demands or slow water release processes. Nature, however, offers solutions through organisms that have evolved highly efficient water-gathering mechanisms. In response to these challenges, there is a clear need to develop advanced materials that can improve water harvesting efficiency.
A new study of 2,600 posts and 16,502 comments on the social media platform Reddit shows that while online grief support platforms can be helpful, they can also contain graphic content that could be damaging to those already in a vulnerable state.
The effects of sustained drug abuse can manifest in many ways. Loss of memory and reduced cognitive functions are some of the effects that can persist for years. Scientists at UC San Diego have now identified a mechanism in the brain that generates drug-induced cognitive impairments.
New research reveals gambling messages during the opening weekend of this season’s football Premier League have almost trebled since last year, putting fans including children at risk.
Scientists at Sanford Burnham Prebys have developed a clearer picture of how crucial machinery in the human cell’s recycling process for obsolete and misshapen proteins—known as proteasomes—are formed.
