Unexpected nut eating by gorillas
Scientists have observed a population of western lowland gorillas in Loango National Park, Gabon using their teeth to crack open the woody shells of Coula edulis nuts. The researchers combined direct feeding observations and mechanical tests of seed casings to show that gorillas may be taxing their teeth to their upper limits, year after year,…
New treatment option shown for heart failure fluid overload
Clinical researchers found that giving higher doses of the diuretic spironolactone could safely and effectively treat fluid excess in heart failure patients who did not respond to other diuretics. Continue Reading at ScienceDaily.com Click Here. Press Release Distribution Service
Machine learning helps predict if storms will cause power outages
Summer thunderstorms that knock out power grids are common around the world. Computer scientists and meteorologists applied machine learning to predict how damaging each particular storm will be. Continue Reading at ScienceDaily.com Click Here. Press Release Distribution Service
Genes that first enabled plants to grow leaves identified by scientists
The genes that first enabled plants to grow shoots and conquer the land have been identified. The findings explain how a 450-million years ago a switch enabled plants to delay reproduction and grow shoots, leaves and buds. Continue Reading at ScienceDaily.com Click Here.

Finding new knowledge in history: Evaluating seven decades of ex situ seed regeneration
Biologist have been promoting the transition of gene banks into bio-digital resource centers – the aim is the preparation and collation of the phenotypic and genetic information for all stored accessions. Continue Reading at ScienceDaily.com Click Here. Press Release Distribution Service
Shared E-scooters aren’t always as ‘green’ as other transport options
People think of electric scooters, or e-scooters, as environmentally friendly ways to get around town. But a new study finds it’s not that simple: shared e-scooters may be greener than most cars, but they can be less green than several other options. Continue Reading at ScienceDaily.com Click Here.

Dizziness of unknown cause may be perception disorder
Many patients with functional dizziness look back on a long odyssey to numerous doctors, because no organic causes could be found. Now for the first time, an experiment has identified possible causes of the disorder: problems with the processing of sensory-motor signals in the brain that resemble those associated with dizziness due to organic causes.…
Bittersweet truth of how bee-friendly limonoids are made

3D miniature livers lead the way to patient-specific drug discovery
Researchers have developed a reproducible method for creating multicellular miniature liver organoids from pluripotent stem cells. Steatohepatitis, a liver disease involving inflammation, fat accumulation and fibrosis, was triggered in these miniature livers. They also established sick liver organoids using patient-derived stem cells. Two different treatments alleviated the symptoms, proving that this model can be used…
Seabirds are threatened by hazardous chemicals in plastics
An international collaboration has found that hazardous chemicals were detected in plastics eaten by seabirds. This suggests that the seabird has been threatened by these chemicals once they eat plastics. Continue Reading at ScienceDaily.com Click Here. Press Release Distribution Service
