Exercise plus omega-3 curbs tooth root inflammation in rat study
Heather Vogel Larawang ginawa ng AI Fact checked
A peer‑reviewed study in rats reports that moderate exercise combined with omega‑3 supplementation improved immune markers and limited bone loss in chronic apical periodontitis, an inflammatory infection at the tooth’s root tip often arising from untreated decay. The authors and research backers stress that human trials are needed to confirm clinical relevance.

A team of astrophysicists has identified potential new characteristics of dark matter through advanced simulations. The findings, detailed in a recent study, suggest dark matter may interact more strongly with ordinary matter than previously thought. This could reshape our understanding of the universe's composition.
University at Buffalo enables quantum simulations on laptops
Researchers at the University at Buffalo have expanded the truncated Wigner approximation to simulate complex quantum systems on ordinary laptops, bypassing the need for supercomputers. This advancement, detailed in a September study in PRX Quantum, simplifies quantum dynamics for real-world applications. The method targets dissipative spin dynamics, making advanced physics accessible to more scientists.

A new scientific approach has quantified the full extent of plastic waste entering the environment, uncovering far more pollution than previously estimated. The research, published in a leading journal, highlights mismanaged plastics in rivers, soils, and oceans, urging immediate policy responses.
Mild dietary stress promotes healthier aging in worms
Researchers at the University of Basel have discovered that specific RNA molecules in nematodes' diets trigger a mild stress response that enhances cellular health and extends healthspan. This process prevents toxic protein buildup associated with aging and diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. The findings, published in Nature Communications, suggest diet influences how well organisms age.
