Reef Sharks in French Polynesia Suffer Health Consequences From Feeding by Tourists
Blacktip reef sharks in French Polynesia are experiencing significant health issues due to frequent feeding by tourists. Studies show that sharks fed low-quality scraps, such as frozen squid and human leftovers, have altered metabolism, lower red blood cell levels, and reproductive changes. Males showed increased testosterone, while females at feed...

Neanderthal Blood Protein Incompatibilities May Have Contributed to Extinction
Research indicates that genetic differences in Neanderthal blood proteins may have played a role in their extinction. Scientists discovered that Neanderthals had a rare RhD blood type, which was incompatible with the blood types of Denisovans and Homo sapiens. This incompatibility could have led to hemolytic disease in mixed-species offspring, resu...

Scientists Make Mouse Skin Transparent Using Food Dye, Here's Everything You Need to Know
In a recent breakthrough, researchers led by Zihao Ou, Assistant Professor of Physics at the University of Texas at Dallas, have developed a technique to make mouse skin temporarily transparent using a common food dye called tartrazine. By applying a solution of the dye mixed with water, scientists could observe the internal organs and blood vessel...

Scientists Test Nanorobots to Treat Brain Aneurysms
Scientists have created nanorobots that could revolutionise the treatment of brain aneurysms by delivering clot-forming drugs directly to the weakened vessel area, reducing the risk of stroke. These robots, smaller than blood cells, were successfully tested in rabbits. The nanobots are guided using magnetic fields and heat, which release the drug a...
