According to the research, these mitochondrial DNA insertions could be linked to early death. Mitochondria in brain cells frequently insert their DNA into the nucleus, potentially impacting lifespan, as those with more insertions were found to die earlier. Stress appears to accelerate this process, suggesting a new way mitochondria influence health beyond energy production.

The kitchen can be a messy place in any home – some more than others, as anyone who’s lived in a student flat can attest to – but it turns out the humble microwave is home to far more microbes than you could possibly imagine. 
And, not only that, but the bacteria these devices are hoarding is resistant to radiation and multiplying by the second. 
A new study from a team from Darwin Bioprospecting Excellence SL in Paterna, Spain, published in journal Frontiers in Microbiology has found that hardy microbes able to adapt to extreme conditions and thrive in microwaves.

NASA has revealed that its Perseverance rover may have found evidence of past life on Mars in the Jezero crater beside an ancient, dried-up river. A rock, collected on July 21 and nicknamed “Cheyava Falls” by NASA, displays traits that may answer the question of whether Mars was home to microscopic life in the past. […]

There are literal oceans' worth of liquid water hiding out on Mars. There's just one big problem. That water is actually in Mars, at depths that are too far below the surface for us to access.



					
			

That's according to new analysis of seismic data collected by the  Mars InSight lander, for which huge reservoirs of liquid water are the best explanation. And, although that water is out of reach, it is an important piece of the strange puzzle of the aquatic history of our dry, desiccated, dusty neighbor.
"Understanding the Martian water cycle is critical for understanding the evolution of the...

A MYSTERIOUS interstellar signal once thought to be a sign from aliens has left scientists with more questions than answers. The space laser has stumped researchers for nearly five decades since its discovery. Astronomer Jerry Ehman was so shocked when he found the anomaly in August 1977 that he scrawled the word “Wow!” on the […]

Mystery origin of 72-second ‘wow’ signal detected coming from space 50 years ago may have been located by scientists

A mysterious object that is 27,306 times the size of Earth has been spotted flying through space at one million miles per hour, NASA reports. The object (CWISE J1249), discovered by citizen scientists working on NASA’s Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 project, is “moving so fast that it will escape the Milky Way’s gravity and shoot […]

Are people getting more high maintenance or is it just me? One thing that you can't deny is that CERTAIN people require a lot more TLC and attention, on the daily and especially during trying times. This applies to both platonic relationships and romantic. We usually call these people high maintenance because, well, they usually require (or demand!) all of your efforts and then some to be satisfied. These characteristics are closely linked to their zodiac sign temperament, so read on to see who is on the list!

5 Zodiac Signs that are the Highest Maintenance and Most Demanding

Astronomers have confirmed the existence of exoplanets with extremely small orbits around their stars. But what about exoplanets that get close enough to be devoured by their star, and what if it's an Earth-sized exoplanet?. This is what a recent study posted to the arXiv preprint server and accepted to...

In a surprising turn of events, decades-old footage has reignited the debate about the origins of speech, revealing that our closest living relatives, chimpanzees, may possess the neural foundation necessary for vocalizing human words.

A MAP of the stars could lead alien-hunters directly to where extra-terrestrial life may be hiding. Scientists have created a 3D illustration charting a list of nearby stars that may be hosting “habitable” alien worlds. They used data from Nasa‘s Chandra X-ray Observatory to identify these planets. It involved finding stars that are close enough […]

In 2015, Samantha Hansen and a team of researchers from the University of Alabama and Arizona State University traveled to Antarctica to install 15 seismology stations. These stations allow researchers to study the interior of the planet. What they ultimately found were large mountain-like structures deep within the Earth. Mountainous...

Thanks to the presence of an rare element called ruthenium, scientists think they know where the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs came from.

Scientists think they've found the origin of the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs. It could help prevent a future mass extinction on Earth.

Researchers at MD Anderson have identified a molecule that diminishes age-related inflammation and enhances brain and muscle function in preclinical models. Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have shown that therapeutically restoring ‘youthful’ levels of a specific subunit of the telomerase enzyme can significantly reduce the signs and symptoms of aging in preclinical models. If these findings are validated in clinical trials, they could have important therapeutic implications for age-related diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, heart disease, and cancer.

Neuroscientists at Stanford have linked Alzheimer’s disease to the disruption of brain metabolism via the kynurenine pathway, which is affected by amyloid plaque and tau proteins. Their research has demonstrated that drugs blocking this pathway can restore cognitive function in Alzheimer’s mice by improving brain metabolism. This discovery not...

It's been four years since the charismatic and rugged actor Robert Conrad died at 84. Best known for feature films like Palm Springs Weekend, and the trio of hit TV shows, Hawaiian Eye, Wild Wild West, and Black Sheep Squadron (a.k.a., Baa Baa Black Sheep), Robert Conrad was one tough cookie. This is his story.

In 1977, something peculiar happened. A radio telescope at the Ohio State University — the Big Ear, captured a peculiar signal from outer space. This signal was so astonishing that it made astronomer Jerry Ehman utter a profound “WOW!” Now, decades later, the mystery surrounding the signal might finally be unraveling.

Seismologists measure tremors from distances up to 5000 km away. On September 16, 2023, a massive wave struck a fjord on Greenland’s east coast, leaving evidence of flooding up to 200 meters (650 feet) high in some areas. Researchers, led by Angela Carrillo Ponce from the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), have analyzed seismic data from earthquake monitoring stations worldwide and uncovered another remarkable event. The megatsunami triggered a standing wave that oscillated back and forth in the narrow, uninhabited Dickson Fjord for over a week. The international team has published their findings in the journal The Seismic Records.
