Mercury pollution from artisanal gold mining in tropical regions is finding its way into wildlife. A team from the University of Vienna and the Veterinary University of Vienna shows that mercury exposure impairs the glucocorticoid response that helps animals cope with acute stress. This weakened stress response could reduce the caimans' chances of survival and reproduction. The findings, recently published in the journal Communications Biology, point to a previously overlooked endocrine threat to crocodylians.

Diabetes and weight-loss medications may have economic effects beyond health care spending, according to new research from NYU Abu Dhabi. Using population-wide data from Denmark, the study found that diabetes treatment caused an increased likelihood of employment, while weight-management treatment caused longer working hours among people already employed. The findings also point to implications for income tax revenue and public health care spending.

Researchers at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) and the HI-STEM Stem Cell Institute have discovered a group of particularly long-lived blood stem cells in mice. These cells remain in a dormant state for an exceptionally long time while retaining their ability to generate new blood cells. This newly discovered cell population may be responsible for sustaining blood regeneration and immune defense throughout a mouse's entire life.

Most people, at some point, wonder what will remain of them after they are gone. Will their family remember them? Will something they created, taught or contributed continue to matter? A new study suggests that this deeply human desire may be connected to mental health. Researchers found that people who more strongly believed they would be remembered after death also tended to report better mental health and lower levels of problematic substance use and addictive behaviors.

Staring at yourself in the mirror can create an illusionary effect, distorting your features to the point of appearing fantastical

In beef cattle production, determining the ideal time to sell makes all the difference in a producer's costs. This is because, once an animal reaches its natural growth limit, it stops gaining weight significantly. From that point on, every additional day in a feedlot means spending money on feed without gaining meat in return.

The U.S. Air Force has recovered experimental cargo launched aboard SpaceX's mysterious Starfall capsule, marking a step forward in the effort to assess the viability of rapid, point-to-point deliveries to anywhere on Earth.

During an intense drought from 2020 to 2022, the Upper Colorado River Basin lost far more groundwater than the Lower Basin did, despite having much higher natural recharge.
