Marathon Running Temporarily Reduces Brain Myelin, Study Finds
A study of ten marathon runners revealed a temporary reduction in brain myelin levels after a 42km run, which fully replenished within two months; researchers suggest the brain utilizes myelin as fuel when carbohydrate reserves are depleted, potentially offering insights into treating myelin-related...

Tentative Detection of Potential Biosignature Gases on Exoplanet K2-18b
A team of researchers tentatively detected dimethyl sulphide (DMS) or dimethyl disulphide (DMDS) in the atmosphere of K2-18b, an exoplanet orbiting a red dwarf star 124 light-years away, using the James Webb Space Telescope; while these gases are associated with life on Earth, non-biological sources...

Rising Cancer Deaths in the U.S. Despite Overall Decline
A new report reveals that while overall cancer deaths are declining in the U.S., deaths from several cancers—including melanoma, oral cancers, and those affecting bones, joints, pancreas, uterus, and liver—are increasing due to factors such as obesity, delayed diagnosis, and an aging population.
