Late-life exercise may alleviate epigenetic aging in skeletal muscle

For people who hate exercising, here comes some more bad news: it may also keep you younger. Not just looking younger, but actually younger, on an epigenetic level.

Diverse pollen diet mitigates the negative effects of parasitic infestation for bumblebees

Bumblebees are important pollinators because they pollinate many different plant species and are extremely resilient. They can still manage to fly at temperatures that are too cold for other pollinators.

Study highlights incomplete and inconsistent nutrition information provided by online food retailers

Online food retailers do not consistently display nutrition information on their websites-;and U.S. laws are lagging behind in mandating the same labeling required for foods sold in brick-and-mortar stores, according to a new analysis by researchers from the NYU School of Global Public Health and the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University.

Marine heatwaves associated with climate crisis are reducing Mediterranean coral populations

A new study led by teams of the Faculty of Biology, the Biodiversity Research Institute of the University of Barcelona, and the Institute of Marine Sciences of Barcelona has revealed that marine heatwaves associated with the climate crisis are bringing down the populations of coral in the Mediterranean, the biomass of which in some cases has been reduced by 80 to 90%.
