    UK Rights Groups Seek Arrest Warrant for Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar Over Gaza War Crimes

    London (Quds News Network)- Human rights groups have filed for an arrest warrant against Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar during his visit to the UK. They accuse him of war crimes in Gaza, including the siege of Kamal Adwan Hospital and the torture of its director, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiyah.

    The Hind Rajab Foundation and the Global Legal Action Network (GLAN) submitted the request to the UK’s Attorney General and Director of Public Prosecutions. They are seeking urgent…

  • Simulating protein structures involved in memory formation

    Simulating protein structures involved in memory formation

    Complex protein interactions at synapses are essential for memory formation in our brains, but the mechanisms behind these processes remain poorly understood. Now, researchers from Japan have developed a computational model revealing new insights into the unique droplet-inside-droplet structures that memory-related proteins form at synapses. They discovered that the shape characteristics of a memory-related protein are crucial for the formation of these structures, which could shed light on…

    Microorganisms employ a secret weapon during metabolism

    In the global carbon cycle microorganisms have evolved a variety of methods for fixing carbon. Researchers from Bremen and Taiwan have investigated the methods that are utilized at extremely hot, acidic and sulfur-rich hydrothermal vents in shallow waters off the island of Kueishantao, Taiwan. A team working with first author Joely Maak of MARUM — Center for Marine Environmental Sciences at the University of Bremen has now published their study in the professional journal Biogeosciences.

    Towards gene-targeting drugs capable of targeting brain diseases

    Getting therapeutic drugs past the blood-brain barrier has long been one of medicine’s most difficult challenges, limiting our ability to treat conditions like Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and brain cancers. While manipulating gene expression in brain cells holds tremendous promise for treating these conditions, effectively delivering gene-targeting drugs to the brain has remained an elusive goal.

    Against this backdrop, a research team from Tokyo University of Science (TUS),…

    Nurturing now, thriving later: The lasting power of affectionate mothering

    Affectionate mothering in childhood may have a lasting impact on important personality traits, potentially influencing life outcomes such as educational achievement, economic success, and health and well-being, according to research published by the American Psychological Association. The findings suggest that positive maternal parenting could foster important traits such as openness, conscientiousness and agreeableness.

    “Personality traits are strong predictors of important life outcomes,…

    IAEA director, starting visit to Tehran, says Iran not far from creating nuclear weapons – Middle East Monitor

    The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency arrived in Tehran on Wednesday for talks with senior officials after indicating that Iran is not far off from creating its own nuclear weapons, Anadolu news agency reported.

    Iran has enough material to produce many bombs but does not yet have nuclear weapons, Rafael Mariano Grossi told French daily Le Monde.

    On the possibility of Tehran obtaining nuclear weapons, Grossi said: “It’s like a jigsaw puzzle,…

    Nature-based activity is effective therapy for anxiety and depression, study shows

    Researchers evaluating a nature-based programme of activities for patients with mild to moderate mental health conditions have shown that improvements in mood and anxiety levels can be seen in as little as 12 weeks.

    As part of the UK government’s commitment to transform mental health services, seven ‘test and learn’ green social prescribing sites were identified across England, which included a programme in Humber and North Yorkshire — the first of the seven sites to publish results from…

    Novel machine learning model can predict material failure before it happens

    A team of Lehigh University researchers has successfully predicted abnormal grain growth in simulated polycrystalline materials for the first time — a development that could lead to the creation of stronger, more reliable materials for high-stress environments, such as combustion engines. A paper describing their novel machine learning method was recently published in Nature Computational Materials.

    “Using simulations, we were not only able to predict abnormal grain growth, but we were able…

  • Hereditary Alzheimer’s: Blood marker for defective neuronal connections rises early

    Hereditary Alzheimer’s: Blood marker for defective neuronal connections rises early

    Individuals with a genetic predisposition to Alzheimer’s disease show altered blood levels indicating damaged neuronal contacts as early as 11 years before the expected onset of dementia symptoms. This is evident in the levels of the protein “beta-synuclein.” An international team, including researchers from DZNE, Ulm University Hospital and University Medicine Halle report these findings in the journal “Alzheimer’s & Dementia.” The biomarker studied here could potentially help to detect…

    Metabolism shapes life | ScienceDaily

    Glycolysis is an ancient metabolic activity. It consists of a set of reactions that convert glucose into energy. This central process allows cells to grow, divide, and stay alive. It has accompanied life since its origin, from single cells to complex organisms like mammals. Scientists have extensively studied the role of metabolism in individual cells to understand how it influences their energetic state, but little has been studied about the effect of glycolysis on the decisions that cells…
