Researchers Identify New Genes Linked With Schizophrenia Risk in First-of-Its-Kind Study

Researchers have made an important discovery about the causes of schizophrenia, a disease related to dementia or fragmented mentality.   Researchers have identified two genes associated with the disease as well as a third gene that carries the risk of schizophrenia and autism. Scientists involved in this research believes, this discovery can go a long way in finding a cure for these kind of diseases. Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine found that these harmful genes are almost the same in every ethnic or racial group. The findings of this research were published in Nature Genetics . According to an estimate, about one percent of people worldwide suffering from schizophrenia. The scientists identified two risky genes, SRRM2 and AKAP11, based on a comparative analysis of gene sequencing from individuals with schizophrenia and healthy individuals. It compared a dataset of 35,828 patients with schizophrenia to 107,877 healthy or control groups and included a v...

United Arab Emirates's Hope Mission Discovers Mysterious Polar Light on Mars

The Hope Mission of the United Arab Emirates's Mars mission has captured stunning images of the mysterious polar flame on Mars.  This discovery could reveal many secrets between the Martian atmosphere, its magnetic field and the solar wind. Polar lights are floating light waves. This is the kind of light that has been seen at the Earth's North Pole for thousands of years. This light is visible on a planet when the movements of the planet affect the atmosphere there. A recent observation from the Emirates Mars mission has never been seen before. This is called the Sinus Discrete Aurora (SDA). It is a giant aurora that covers more than half the area on Mars. Recommended ⬇️ Space Bricks Have Been Made for The Development of Infrastructure on Mars Hesa Al Matrousi, Head of the Emirates Mars Mission, said: "When we first saw the SDA when the Hope mission reached Mars, we understood it was an exploration of new capabilities of results on a scale that would never have...

The Use of Energy for Physical and Mental Development Depends on Genes in Our Body

Perhaps you will be surprised sometimes by the fact that the same type of food is good for someone's health while someone looks weak. But now this mystery has been solved. Researchers from the University of Helsinki reported that even minor genetic variation affects the use of energy from different nutrients. This research was published in the journal Nature Communications . Through this study, it has emerged that how nutrition plans based on genetic data can be designed for a healthy life in an individual. An international team of researchers from Australia, Denmark and Finland has investigated that how people in the same population survive on different diets. For this study, the researchers used a genetic reference panel of about 200 fruit fly (Drosophila Melanogaster) strains. These flies were given six types of diet, which was high in a mixture of protein, sugar, starch, coconut oil and fat. This analysis found that there was a difference in the use of energy deriv...

The Most Distant Galaxy Ever Discovered by An International Group of Astronomers

The universe, in itself, contains so many mysteries that it can hardly be veiled from them. Astronomers are constantly unraveling these mysteries, but as soon as one mystery is revealed, another one also comes out after some time. There are countless stars, galaxies and other cosmic objects in the universe that have always amazed us. The universe is being explored with the help of Hubble and other state-of-the-art instruments. In line with this, an international group of astronomers claims to have discovered the most distant galaxy ever. It is also located at a great distance from the most recently discovered star named Earendel . The distance of this star from Earth is about 12.9 billion light years, while this galaxy is located at a distance of 13.5 billion light years from us.  Astronomers have named this galaxy HD-1. However, he has not fully confirmed it. Perhaps the James Webb Telescope can get more information related to this. According to scientists - this possi...

Space Bricks Have Been Made for The Development of Infrastructure on Mars

Scientific developments has given wings to human dreams. Our scientific missions have reached to Mars. Efforts are being made to collect evidence related to the possibility of life on Mars. For this, NASA's Mars rover is exploring various regions of Mars. In such a situation, there is also a dream to establish human settlements on this red planet. Scientists around the world are researching ways to build on Mars.  In this direction, Indian scientists have achieved a feat. They have developed a specific bacteria-based technology to produce 'Space Bricks' for build infrastructure on Mars. Such space bricks can be manufactured on a large scale using this technique. This research was jointly carried out by scientists from Bangalore-based Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO ). For this, he used simulant soil of Mars and urea. These space bricks can be used for set up infrastructure on Mars, which will make it easier to set...

Creative People's Brain Works in A Creative Way Compared to Other People

There is a saying that no work is special, but the way of doing it is what makes it special. The same is true in the context of a person's creativity. A new research study has revealed the explanation of how a person's way of doing things can be different from other people. In this, the researchers found that the brain of a highly creative person works differently than other people. Due to this their creativity gives them different kind of happiness and they also complete their work soon. The study is published in the journal Psychology of Aesthetics, Creativity and the Arts . Exceptionally creative visual artists and scientists are placed in the Big C creative category. Some of this group volunteered to have Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of their brains. Recommended ⬇️ The Ability of Emotional People to Learn and Understand Can Also Become Weak This helped the researchers understand that due to the psychology, behavior of such people, there is a change in th...

The Curcumin Found in Turmeric is Very Beneficial for The Tissues and Blood Vessels

A lot of information has come to the fore about the medicinal properties of turmeric. Now a research from the University of California states that the curcumin found in turmeric can prove to be very beneficial in the development of artificial blood vessels and tissues. The research findings were published in the journal ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces . From this study, it is indicated that the bioengineers at Riverside will soon be able to develop blood vessels and tissues in the laboratory. As a result of this achievement, it will be easier to replace or regenerate damaged tissue in humans. Curcumin has antioxidant properties that have anti-inflammatory properties also. It is also known to reduce angiogenesis in cancerous tumors. But magnetic hydrogels containing curcumin-coated nanoparticles enhance the growth-promoting secretion of vascular endothelial. Actually, the possibility of using curcumin in vascular regeneration was already being expressed. But no concret...

Due to Climate Change, The Fish Population Will Decrease Unexpectedly

At present, climate change remains a major and worldwide problem. Probably no organism on earth is untouched by the effects of climate change. The ever-increasing temperature (global warming) is affecting everyone. Recently, a new study related to climate change has revealed a new thing.  This study said that due to climate change, the temperature of the oceans is increasing unexpectedly which will eventually negatively affect the fish species. This will not only reduce the total fish population but will also lead to the loss of fish biodiversity.  The study was published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B . This study presents a mixed picture of the marine ecosystem. It states that warming of the climate will push larger species of fish and their occupations out of their historical ranges, but will not be as abundant in their new geographic ranges. For example, a fisherman can find fish in the Atlantic Ocean even after 200 years from today, but their number...
