Evident is setting a new standard in life science imaging with its launch of the new FLUOVIEW™ FV5000 confocal and multiphoton laser scanning microscope, a next-generation platform designed to capture sharper, fully quantifiable data faster and easier than ever before.Featuring photon-level quantitation, both high-density and high-speed scanning, and AI-powered workflow tools, the FV5000 is engineered to provide researchers in neuroscience, cell biology, and drug development with clear answers to challenging biological questions. The FV5000 redefines the boundaries of resolution, speed, and experimental versatility, turning complex imaging into confident results for users of all experience levels.Developed from a century of innovation,…

Scientists have identified a biomarker for aging in dogs that reveals biological age or predicts future health issues, which may also apply to humans. They found that molecules, especially post-translationally modified amino acids (ptmAAs), change with age.The publication in Aging Cell examined 800 dog blood samples from the Dog Aging Project and found that aging altered 40% of molecules.“These molecules, known as metabolites, are basically the building blocks of life,” says senior author Daniel Promislow, a senior scientist and scientific advisor at the Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University, US. “They serve as the raw materials for forming…

   Chia Seed Pudding – 1 serving (2 tablespoons chia seeds, ½ cup milk, ½ cup fruit, e.g., strawberries) Overnight Oats – 1 serving (1/2 cup oats, ½ cup milk, ½ cup fruit, e.g., strawberries)  Protein  9 g 9.5 g  Omega-3s 5 g 0 g  Fiber 12 g 6 g Protein When it comes to protein, chia seed pudding and overnight oats are closely matched. “Both usually offer around 9 to 10 grams of protein per serving,” says Hannah Van Ark, M.S., RD. However, the quality of that protein differs. Chia seeds contain sufficient amounts of all nine essential amino…

Welcome to Utheri Archaeological Park. Please stay out of the abandoned buildings. The deserted cityscape covering the entire lunar surface has many options for exploration, including sprawling stone parks and winding streets. You can even enter the unusually clean sewers beneath the ground; nothing biological has survived.Indoor exhibits: A breakdown of the remains of the virus that wiped out all life on the moon. You can use the holographic tools to explore the structure of the virus, how it interacted with biological materials, both living and not, and see how the dissolution of the atmosphere destroyed its ability to stay…

Llama 3 is a large language model owned by tech firm Meta.Credit: MauriceNorbert/AlamyArtificial intelligence (AI) chatbots are worse at retrieving accurate information and reasoning when trained on large amounts of low-quality content, particularly if the content is popular on social media1, finds a preprint posted on arXiv on 15 October.In data science, good-quality data need to meet certain criteria, such as being grammatically correct and understandable, says co-author Zhangyang Wang, who studies generative AI at the University of Texas at Austin. But these criteria fail to capture differences in content quality, he says. Wang and his colleagues wanted to see…

Intent on growing its leading position in obesity and weight management drugs, Novo Nordisk has made an unsolicited, approximately up-to-$9 billion bid for Metsera—more than a month after Pfizer announced its intent to buy the company for up to $7.3 billion. Novo Nordisk touched off a likely bidding war when it presented what Metsera’s board said today was a “superior company proposal” to Pfizer’s offer. That gives Pfizer four business days to raise its offer for Metsera so it is equal to or higher than Novo Nordisk’s. “The acquisition of Metsera, including its early and development-stage incretin and non-incretin analogue…

Many people think that vitamin C is only useful during specific seasons or situations—like when you’re feeling subpar and want to give your immune system some extra support.* While it’s true that vitamin C bolsters immune function and response, it turns out that taking it every once in a while doesn’t fully unlock the vitamin’s capabilities and health benefits.*

At one point or another, most of us have been woken up by a nightmare or an intense urge to go to the bathroom. Waking up because you have the hiccups may be a less familiar middle-of-the-night disruption, but it does happen. Persistent hiccups can last for as long as a month — day and night — which can keep you awake.e60dc2a1-f33c-4a05-9b50-8e3e8e597629983a6369-d375-4509-a81f-f4889186410f Hiccups are involuntary muscle spasms in the diaphragm, the major breathing muscle that sits below your rib cage. When your diaphragm suddenly and involuntarily contracts, it closes your vocal cords and creates the typical hiccup noise.e60dc2a1-f33c-4a05-9b50-8e3e8e597629c8b425eb-ee9c-4ad3-8d86-b38008827466 Hiccups have…
