A survey of Tokyo teachers found that key biodiversity topics were covered extensively, but omissions stood out. Personal experiences of nature significantly influenced what teachers chose to highlight.
Patients with prior C-sections are more likely to succeed in a vaginal birth at predominantly Black-serving hospitals, new research reveals. However, Black patients still face lower success rates compared to white patients.
Researchers found that gut luminal exosomes from older animals carried molecular signals associated with insulin resistance, inflammation and disruption of the gut barrier. Transferring these to young animals elicited similar effects, while transferring exosomes from young animals to older animals mitigated metabolic aging findings.
A new Indiana University study reveals that unusual zones within the fault itself act as built-in brakes on earthquake magnitude. These 'barriers' are structurally complex zones where the fault splits into multiple strands, promoting a process called dilatancy strengthening that prevents earthquakes from getting bigger.
