“We were initially approached by our colleagues in critical-care medicine, who had observed severe delirium in many patients who were hospitalised with Covid-19,” says neuro-oncologist Jessica Wilcox, of the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, in New York. Her team’s initial investigations eventually snowballed into a multidisciplinary collaboration between neurology, critical …

A slew of orbital and rover research has been dedicated to examining traces of ancient river valleys which have long indicated that water once flowed across the surface of Mars. New research by two scientists at Britain’s Open University, published in the journal Science Advances, suggests the presence of hydrogen …

Since 2005, some 56 critically endangered Western chimpanzees have died suddenly at the Tacugama sanctuary in Sierra Leone after abruptly developing bouts of neurological problems, extreme intestinal bloating, vomiting and diarrhea. No medical treatment could prevent their impending doom. This week, after five years of research, scientists think they have …

Researchers from the Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan are calling for more urgent research into the long-term consequences of Covid-19 infection on male fertility, amid mounting evidence of decreased sperm mobility, lower sperm counts and testicular damage.  “We propose that there is an urgent need to track …

For six decades, amateur detectives and media analysts alike have speculated about how nine young hikers died in mysterious circumstances on a mountainside in a remote Russian region. Now, though, in what may solve the half-century-old riddle, a team of researchers from Switzerland claims it has cracked the long-standing question …

According to Rospotrebnadzor, the country’s health watchdog, the photo was taken under a microscope as part of an ongoing study into coronavirus, “including its structural features and manifestations in cell cultures.” The research revealed that PCR tests reliably detect the British strain and also confirmed that the mutation doesn’t change …

Scientists at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) have discovered a way to make skin cells “grow younger.” They claim the original technique can be used to “reverse the ageing process and prevent diseases related to ageing and prolong life span.”  Speaking to RT from KAIST University, Professor …

Speaking on Friday, British Transport Secretary Grant Shapps told Sky News that there was some concern about the Brazilian variant, which was enough to make the government take precautionary measures to stop it reaching the UK.  “We had a look at this particular mutation, as opposed to many other thousands …
