Posted: 19 Jan 2017 01:32 PM PST

Obesity is one of the most significant threats to health in the U.S. and is responsible for the development of multiple serious medical problems such as diabetes, heart disease and some forms of cancer. Yet obesity is barely covered in medical training, according to a new study. The licensing exams for graduating medical students have a surprisingly limited number of test items about obesity prevention and treatment.

New low-cost technique converts bulk alloys to oxide nanowires

Posted: 19 Jan 2017 11:36 AM PST

A simple technique for producing oxide nanowires directly from bulk materials could dramatically lower the cost of producing the one-dimensional nanostructures. That could open the door for a broad range of uses in lightweight structural composites, advanced sensors, electronic devices -- and thermally stable and strong battery membranes able to withstand temperatures of more than 1,000 degrees Celsius.

'FishTaco' sorts out who is doing what in your microbiome

Posted: 19 Jan 2017 10:45 AM PST

How much do different bacterial species contribute to disease-associated imbalances in the human microbiome? A new computational method, dubbed FishTaco, is helping find out. The method looks at which microbes are present and what they are doing. Understanding imbalances in say, the human gut microbiome, might eventually suggest new ways to manage obesity, type 2 diabetes, or autoimmune diseases.

Kill 49 Minutes By Watching This Dude Give His Cat 11,453 Stern Looks

Posted: 22 Jan 2017 12:00 PM PST

This pales in comparison to how many stern looks every cat gives their owner, but still, it's something.

A few days ago Gus Johnson, crazy person, uploaded this picture of himself to the me irl subreddit:

via Reddit

People called him crazy — including me, earlier. People called him "a bamboozler." Gus was going to prove the latter wrong.

via Brett Eldredge

Gus ended up getting 11,453 up votes and must give his cat, Wendy, 11,453 stern looks, and all that before he gets his wisdom teeth taken out later that day. Sounds like a solid 24 hours.

Feel free to jump around a bit, especially when he loses the cat around 10,850. Considering how red his face gets, it looks like Gus should’ve stretched before starting this thing.

“Stay unbamboozled.”

Seoul virus outbreak associated with home-based rat-breeding facilities

Posted: 20 Jan 2017 12:43 PM PST

Experts from CDC are working with the Illinois Department of Health and the Wisconsin Department of Health Services to investigate cases of Seoul virus infections among eight people who worked at several rat-breeding facilities in the two states. Seoul virus is not commonly found in the United States, though there have been several reported outbreaks in wild rats. This is the first known outbreak associated with pet rats in the United States.

Using a novel approach for imaging the movement of immune cells in living animals, researchers have identified what appear to be the initial steps leading to joint inflammation in a model of inflammatory arthritis.

Researchers unlock mechanism of drug resistance in aggressive breast cancer

Posted: 20 Jan 2017 09:11 AM PST

Scientists report findings of how triple negative breast cancer cells are able to bypass treatment with trametinib, a U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved drug that belongs to a class of commonly used anti-cancer drugs called kinase inhibitors. The researchers also reported findings from laboratory models of breast cancer testing a potential treatment approach that could prevent the onset of resistance.

A new high-tech medical device to make brain surgery safer has now been developed.

New genetic engineering technique could help design, study biological systems

Posted: 20 Jan 2017 06:10 AM PST

A new technique will help biologists tinker with genes, whether the goal is to turn cells into tiny factories churning out medicines, modify crops to grow with limited water or study the effects of a gene on human health. The technique allows scientists to precisely regulate how much protein is produced from a particular gene. The process is simple yet innovative and, so far, works in everything from bacteria to plants to human cells.

Number of women who take maternity leave has stalled

Posted: 20 Jan 2017 06:06 AM PST

The number of U.S. women taking maternity leave has not changed in 22 years despite factors that suggest it should be increasing, a new study found. During the same time, the number of fathers taking paternity leave more than tripled.

Think binge drinking is safer for your liver than regular heavy drinking? Think again

Posted: 20 Jan 2017 06:06 AM PST

Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) occurs on a spectrum of severity. The majority of people who drink excessively develop a fatty liver, which though often symptom free, can progress to a state of inflammation, fibrosis, and cell death that can be fatal. Little is known about liver disruption that may occur in problem drinkers who are not alcohol dependent. To help understand the development of ALD, this study used a rodent model to examine differences in liver damage between binge drinkers and heavy drinkers.

Michelle Obama's reaction to Melania Trump's gift is about where everyone's at today

*Cue The Office theme music*

These Michelle Obama memes are the internet's coping mechanism

Though Michelle Obama has kept it cool and professional throughout Friday's inauguration ceremonies, the internet's pretty sure she's actually screaming internally.

The stunning moment Whitehouse.gov changed hands

A new President, a new website, a new world.

Reports of a glitch around Trump's Twitter account @POTUS are not true

Are you following @POTUS?

Video of viral alt-right star Richard Spencer getting punched in the face goes viral

Ouch.

Donald Trump's inauguration address included a Bane quote

'...and we give it back to you. The people.'

Wow, Obama's outgoing letter to Trump speaks volumes

Get the tissues ready.

This is President Trump's first tweet as @POTUS

Drum roll, please.

Jaden Smith kicks off 'He Will Not Divide Us' performance art for the Trump presidency

Repeat after Jaden.

Trump's POTUS Twitter account had an image from Obama's inauguration in 2009

If the image changes to one filled with red hats, you'll know it's from Trump's own inauguration.

Obama's photographer just shared a very poignant farewell photo

"Farewell."

Why the lights don't dim when we blink

Posted: 19 Jan 2017 10:45 AM PST

Every few seconds, our eyelids automatically shutter and our eyeballs roll back in their sockets. So why doesn't blinking plunge us into intermittent darkness and light? New research shows that the brain works extra hard to stabilize our vision despite our fluttering eyes.

As cells age, the fat content within them shifts

Posted: 19 Jan 2017 10:45 AM PST

As cells age and stop dividing, their fat content changes, along with the way they produce and break down fat and other molecules classified as lipids. By providing broad insights into the connection between lipids and cellular aging, the findings open the door for additional research that could support the development of lipid-based approaches to preventing cell death or hastening it in cancerous tumors.

Plan A is to get patients to stick to their blood pressure pills

Posted: 19 Jan 2017 07:02 AM PST

There is value in starting off patients with high blood pressure on an all-in-one pill. Researchers found more value in fixed-dose combination pills that contain more than one type of medication, rather than separate pills for each drug.

Blood test can predict life or death outcome for patients with Ebola virus disease

Posted: 19 Jan 2017 05:46 AM PST

Scientists have identified a 'molecular barcode' in the blood of patients with Ebola that can predict whether they are likely to survive or die from the viral infection. Scientists have used blood samples taken from infected and recovering patients during the 2013-2016 West Africa outbreak to identify gene products that act as strong predictors of patient outcome.

Rabies viruses reveal wiring in transparent brains

Posted: 19 Jan 2017 07:02 AM PST

Scientists have harnessed rabies viruses for assessing the connectivity of nerve cell transplants: coupled with a green fluorescent protein, the viruses show where replacement cells engrafted into mouse brains have connected to the host neural network. A clearing procedure which turns the brain into a 'glass-like state' and light sheet fluorescence microscopy are used to visualize host-graft connections in a whole-brain preparation.

Statins could halt vein blood clots, research suggests

Posted: 19 Jan 2017 07:02 AM PST

Statins could hold the key to eradicating one of the most preventable causes of hospital deaths after researchers uncovered a new role for the cholesterol-lowering pill.

'Marine repairmen': Limpets are construction workers of the seashore

Posted: 19 Jan 2017 07:02 AM PST

New research shows that limpets can repair their damaged shells with biological material so that they are as strong as the originals. However, they are still vulnerable to multiple impacts and 'spalling' -- a well-known cause of failure in engineering materials such as concrete.

Quality control inside the cell: How rescue proteins dispose of harmful messages

Posted: 19 Jan 2017 07:02 AM PST

The ability to dispose of proteins that are either aberrant or (in the worst case) toxic is fundamental to a cell's survival. Researchers have been able to demonstrate the manner in which two specific proteins recognize defective messenger RNAs (molecules that carry the 'assembly instructions' for protein synthesis) and trigger their destruction.

Insects also migrate, study shows

Posted: 19 Jan 2017 06:58 AM PST

Insects engage in the largest continental migration on Earth, new research indicates. Some 3.5 trillion insects in Southern Britain alone migrate each year – a biomass eight times that of bird migration. The researchers fear that global warming may significantly increase the number of insects, potentially affecting various ecosystems in different parts of the world

Telecommuting extends the work week, at little extra pay

Posted: 19 Jan 2017 06:58 AM PST

Unicorn Lattes Are a Thing Now and They Look Like They'd Taste Absolutely Magical

Posted: 18 Jan 2017 01:59 PM PST

A #UnicornLatte is made with blue green algae, lemon, ginger, honey and coconut milk. Most of these colorful creations are from a coffee shop called The End in Brooklyn, New York, but maybe if you ask nicely... your local barista can whip you up something similar.

PS - If you like unicorns, check out these amazing macarons!
