Protein traffic jams may explain aging, memory loss, and Alzheimer’s

Scientists at Stanford University have uncovered a major clue to why the brain deteriorates with age. Their research points to breakdowns in the cell’s protein production system, a process that appears to trigger widespread dysfunction linked to cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s. The study, published in Science,…

Astronomers finally solve Saturn’s decades-long spin mystery

For years, Saturn appeared to be doing something impossible. Measurements suggested the giant planet’s rotation rate was changing over time, as if Saturn were somehow speeding up or slowing down. That puzzling result left scientists searching for answers. Now, researchers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) say they have…

Scientists say evolution may work differently than we thought

For decades, many evolutionary biologists have viewed much of molecular evolution as surprisingly quiet. The idea was that many of the genetic changes that spread through populations are neither helpful nor harmful. They simply drift through nature without attracting much attention from natural selection. A University of Michigan study challenges…
