Mashup Score: 0Diversity is key to ecosystem stability - 1 day(s) ago
In a collaborative study led by researchers at the University of Helsinki, analysis of 900 species over a 20-year period showed that biodiversity enhances ecosystem stability and helps safeguard natural communities in a changing environment.

Mashup Score: 1
Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have shown that gonadotrophs, cells in the pituitary gland with a key role in puberty and reproduction, come from two different populations, with the majority produced after birth rather than in the embryo, as previously thought.

Mashup Score: 6TOS Statement on “Weight Stigma and Bias: Standards of Care in Overweight and Obesity—2025” - 5 day(s) ago
The Obesity Society (TOS) enthusiastically supports the recently released Weight Stigma and Bias: Standards of Care in Overweight and Obesity—2025 by the Obesity Association, a division of the American Diabetes Association®. This evidence-based work aims to help healthcare professionals and staff recognize and address weight bias and stigma. TOS, along with some of its tenured members and other clinical experts, are actively part of the Obesity Association’s Professional Practice Committee (PPC). The PPC is responsible for developing the Standards of Care in Overweight and Obesity—2025 standards of care. As a contributing organization, TOS is committed to supporting this initiative and referencing these standards in its programming because addressing weight stigma and bias is often the first step in treating the serious chronic disease of obesity.

Scientists from Kyushu University have identified the long-sought “orange gene” behind ginger fur in domestic cats—a deletion mutation in a gene on the X chromosome. This discovery explains why most orange cats are male while tortoiseshell and calico cats are female, and reveals a new genetic mechanism for orange coloring. The study solves a decades-old mystery in feline genetics, with their findings published in Current Biology on May 15, 2025.

Mashup Score: 22Epigenetics predicts the aggressiveness of Burkitt Lymphoma, a common pediatric tumor in developing countries - 6 day(s) ago
Researchers of the Cancer Epigenetics group at the Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute have discovered that patients with Burkitt lymphoma — a common paediatric tumour in equatorial African countries and Latin America — can be classified into two main groups based on their epigenetic signature. The study, a high-level international collaboration co-led by Dr Manel Esteller, has demonstrated that one group, HypoBL, has a milder course of the disease, whereas the other, HyperBL, is associated with early relapses and shorter survival.

Mashup Score: 1Microplastics in Texas bays are being swept out to sea - 9 day(s) ago
When researchers from The University of Texas at Austin went searching for microplastics in sediments pulled from the bottom of Matagorda Bay and its surrounding inlets, they didn’t find much. Most of their samples contained only tens to hundreds of microplastic particles for each kilogram of sediment. This is hundreds to thousands of times less than other bayside environments around the world.

Although Matagorda Bay in Texas shows low #Microplastic sediment levels, @UTAustin researchers warn that these particles are being carried into the Gulf, posing a broader environmental threat beyond the bay itself. #Pollution https://t.co/TEpR26CqGS

Mashup Score: 0Alaska: Ancient cave sediments provide new climate clues - 10 day(s) ago
Paul Wilcox, a geologist at the University of Innsbruck, has discovered the first land-based evidence of meltwater pulses from the Cordilleran Ice Sheet during the last ice age about 20,000 years ago. The age of the cave sediments was constrained via optical dating techniques, which is crucial to help piece together the sequence of climate events leading to a warming planet. The results were published in the journal Nature Geoscience.

HIV prevalence in adults aged 50+ in Africa now rivals or exceeds that of younger people, yet prevention efforts remain youth-focused. A Wits-led study urges age-specific interventions, noting stigma, poor testing uptake, and a rising burden of chronic illness in older populations.
