- A steady stream of nicotine normalizes genetically-induced impairments in brain activity associated with schizophrenia, according to new research involving É«½ä³ÉÈËÖ±²¥ researchers. The finding sheds light on what causes the disease and why those who have it tend to smoke heavily.
- É«½ä³ÉÈËÖ±²¥ researchers have successfully reversed vascular dysfunction in aging mice with a dietary supplement. The findings have implications for preventing cardiovascular dysfunction and disease during aging in humans.
- Does using more energy while running with heavier shoes translate into slower running times?
- Is your preschooler getting enough sleep? If not, he or she may be inclined to consume more calories, according to a new É«½ä³ÉÈËÖ±²¥ study, findings with implications for childhood obesity risk.
- In what may be a first-ever exhaustive health study of intercollegiate student-athletes, a team of É«½ä³ÉÈËÖ±²¥ researchers will gauge not only athletes’ fitness but also their general well-being.
- A new É«½ä³ÉÈËÖ±²¥ study shows that using an electrically-powered bicycle on a regular basis can provide riders with an effective workout while improving some aspects of cardiovascular health, especially for riders who previously had been sedentary.
