Eating a nutrient-packed breakfast is a great way to support memory and overall brain health.Look for cereals rich in fiber, protein, B vitamins and iron, which support steady energy and fuel the brain.Try to keep added sugar low and opt for cereals made with whole-food ingredients. Starting your morning with a bowl of cereal can do more than just save time—it may also help support your memory and focus. Research shows that nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, B vitamins, iron and antioxidants can play important roles in maintaining brain function by supporting blood flow, reducing inflammation and protecting brain cells…
Much of humanity lives close to the shore. A 2024 study estimated that in 2018, around 2 billion people lived within 50 kilometres of a coast, with half of them — about 15% of the world’s population — settled within just 10 km (A. G. Cosby et al. Sci. Rep. 14, 22489; 2024). Coastal zones are also growing faster than inland areas: between 2000 and 2018, some 460 million people moved to the coast, a shift the authors liken to adding 46 new megacities of 10 million residents each.Nature Index 2025 Science citiesAt the same time, sea levels are rising…

Sick of drinking water on the keto diet? Diet soda seems like the perfect solution. It’s sweet, it doesn’t have any added sugar, and the carb count is zero. But unfortunately, it’s not that simple.The artificial sweeteners used in place of sugar disrupt your metabolism and prompt sugar cravings, which can interfere with your progress if you drink diet soda on keto.Plus, although the jury is still out, artificial sweeteners have been linked to other health problems, like an increased risk of glucose intolerance, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and obesity, according to a review published in the Indian Journal of Pharmacology.What…
CEO Eric Kelsic giving the opening remarks at Dyno GATC 2025 [Fay Lin] BOSTON – Artificial intelligence (AI) was one of the major themes at the recent Genetic Agency Technology Conference (GATC), hosted by Dyno Therapeutics, which took place in Boston earlier this week. A diverse group of researchers, technologists, and entrepreneurs came together to discuss the mission of “genetic agency,” which Dyno defines as “an individual’s ability to take action at the genetic level to live a healthier life.” Additionally program highlights included powerful stories of patient advocacy from Sonia Vallabh, PhD, director of protein therapeutic science at the Broad Institute, Victoria Gray, the first sickle cell disease patient to undergo CRISPR…
Credit: JuSun / iStock / Getty Images Plus Research led by scientists at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) have identified sequence-level changes within short tandem repeats (STRs) that appear to influence phenotypic variation within diseases and helps explain why some treatments for diseases work better for some patients than others. The findings, published in Genome Biology, could have implications for the treatment of diseases known to be caused by tandem repeats including Huntington’s disease. “These changes in STR composition aren’t rare, they’re a normal part of human genetic diversity. This is a new dimension of genetic variation that’s been…
Scientists recently recovered and sequenced the oldest RNA ever from a 39,000-year-old woolly mammoth called Yuka, which has been on display in frozen conditions at the Yakutsk State Museum in Moscow since 2014.Image credit:Valeri PlotnikovScientists are consistently one-upping each other when it comes to finding the oldest molecules from fossils. The race even includes the notoriously fragile RNA. In a recent Cell study, researchers recovered and sequenced RNA from an extraordinarily preserved 39,000-year-old woolly mammoth called Yuka, which was discovered in the Siberian permafrost more than a decade ago.1 This sample was nearly three times older than the previous record…
