Biosphere Could Extend Planetary Habitability by Billions of Years
A new study suggests that planets near the inner edge of their star's habitable zone could remain habitable for up to two billion years longer than previously thought due to life's ability to regulate atmospheric CO2 and prevent a runaway greenhouse effect, expanding the search for extraterrestrial ...

Kazakhstan Fights Aral Sea Desertification with Saxaul Reforestation
The shrinking Aral Sea, once the world's fourth-largest lake, has left behind a vast desert, prompting a Kazakhstan-based project to plant 500 hectares of Saxaul shrubs to combat desertification and improve public health by reducing the spread of airborne dust and salinity.

Exceptionally Preserved Woolly Mammoth Found in Thawing Siberian Crater
A 50,000-year-old, exceptionally preserved baby woolly mammoth, nicknamed Yana, was discovered in Russia's Batagai megaslump, a rapidly thawing crater releasing thousands of tons of organic carbon annually, highlighting both paleontological potential and climate change impacts.

Brain's Control of Intestinal Fat Absorption Suggests New Obesity Treatments
Researchers in Shanghai discovered that the brain regulates intestinal fat absorption in mice by controlling the length of microvilli in the jejunum via the vagus nerve; inactivating the nerve's dorsal motor nucleus reduces fat absorption and weight, while activation increases it, suggesting potenti...

Chicxulub Impact, Not Volcanism, Primarily Caused Cretaceous-Paleogene Extinction
A new study using fossil molecule analysis in North American sediments concludes that the Deccan Traps volcanism, though causing a temporary 5-degree Celsius cooling 30,000 years before the Chicxulub impact, did not cause the Cretaceous-Paleogene mass extinction; the impact was the primary cause.

Contagious Periods for Common Winter Illnesses and Updated Isolation Guidelines
The CDC provides updated guidelines for ending isolation after contracting COVID-19, flu, and RSV: 24 hours fever-free without medication and improved symptoms; Norovirus contagiousness may last 2 weeks post-recovery; Pneumonia contagiousness typically decreases after 24 hours of antibiotics.

Dark Microglia's Toxic Lipid Production Implicated in Alzheimer's
A new study reveals that "dark microglia," a type of brain cell discovered in 2016, produces toxic lipids that damage neurons and contribute to Alzheimer's disease; inhibiting this mechanism in mice prevented neurodegeneration, suggesting a potential therapeutic target.

U.S. Whooping Cough Cases Surge to 10-Year High
The U.S. is experiencing a whooping cough outbreak, with over 32,000 cases by mid-December 2024—a six-fold increase from 2023—due to waning vaccine immunity, lower vaccination rates, and improved testing. Infants are especially vulnerable.
