Identifying body-scan postures suitable for people with hyperactivity tendency

Sciencedaily.com 

Mindfulness practices have been found to be effective in reducing symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). However, many people with ADHD may find static meditation techniques challenging. In a recent study, researchers assessed individualized responses of people to sitting in various postures during body-scan meditation. The findings suggest that a slumped posture may reduce the ease of practice, while supine and upright positions may improve the ease of meditation for people with high hyperactivity/impulsivity tendency.

Researchers identify potential new strategy to slow the development of liver fibrosis

Sciencedaily.com 

A study reveals advances in the understanding and treatment of liver fibrosis, a serious complication in the context of metabolic fatty liver disease, also known as MASLD (metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease). This study concludes that activation of the PPAR / -AMPK pathway is an effective strategy to slow the development of liver fibrosis.

Brain divides meal into different phases

Sciencedaily.com 

The process of food intake appears to be organized at the cellular level like a relay race: during eating, the baton is passed between different teams of neurons until we have consumed the appropriate amount of energy. Through this complex mechanism, the brain likely ensures that we neither eat too little nor too much. Malfunctions of this process may lead to eating disorders such as anorexia or binge eating.

Pollen not only plays a role in allergies, but also influences the local weather. Especially in spring, when large amounts are released, it contributes to the formation of ice in clouds, which can increase rainfall.

The unexpected protein connection in maize growth and defense

Sciencedaily.com 

Recent research has revealed that a family of proteins called COI1, previously associated with defense mechanisms in other plant species like Arabidopsis and rice, primarily regulates growth in maize (corn). This finding could lead to developing more robust and productive maize varieties.

Team discovers naturally occurring DNA-protein hybrids

Sciencedaily.com 

Thanks to a serendipitous discovery and a lot of painstaking work, scientists can now build biohybrid molecules that combine the homing powers of DNA with the broad functional repertoire of proteins -- without having to synthesize them one by one, researchers report. Using a naturally occurring process, laboratories can harness the existing molecule-building capacities of bacteria to generate vast libraries of potentially therapeutic DNA-protein hybrid molecules.

Synthetic mini-motor with enormous power developed

Sciencedaily.com 

Researchers developed an artificial motor at the supramolecular level that can develop impressive power. This wind-up motor is a tiny ribbon made of special molecules. When energy is applied, this ribbon aligns itself, moves like a small fin and can thus push objects. The energy for this comes from a chemical fuel.

Ten-year study shows tomosynthesis improves breast cancer detection

Sciencedaily.com 

According to a new 10-year study, screening for breast cancer with digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) increases cancer detection rates and significantly reduces the rate of advanced cancers compared to conventional 2D digital mammography.

iPhone 16 a flop? One data from an analyst wipes off $94 billion from Apple's market cap

Economictimes.indiatimes.com 

Apple iPhone 16 was initially looking like a very strong prospect but a few analysts came forward to claim that the latest edition's demand could tank in the coming days, something that has already led to losses in Apple's market capitalization in recent while. Demand for Apple is generally at a peak during launch periods, but this time around, the hype is not seeming that great, as per reports.
