Deep Mantle Mass Found Beneath East Africa
A team of scientists led by Professor Fin Stuart from the University of Glasgow has unearthed fresh clues on the forces that shape East Africa. Their work examined gases from the Menengai geothermal field in central Kenya. The study appears in Geophysical Research Letters and lends weight to the idea that a vast mass of…
Dog and Human Jabs to Stop Rabies Deaths by 2030
Recent research published in Vaccine and PLOS Biology underscores the critical need for coordinated vaccination efforts against rabies in both humans and dogs. The studies reveal that improvements in vaccine delivery systems and comprehensive dog vaccination programs can significantly reduce rabies deaths, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. A study led by researchers from the…

Live Brain Cell Study Shows Toxic Protein Destroys Synaptic Connections
Scientists at the University of Edinburgh have, for the first time, shown how a dangerous form of amyloid beta—a protein linked to Alzheimer’s—can stick to and damage the connections (synapses) between live brain cells. In a breakthrough study, researchers used tiny slices of living human brain tissue collected during routine operations and exposed them to…
