A component found in all fungi may provide a shield against flu-related lung damage, according to a new study.
A team of scientists led by Maziar Divangahi, a Professor in 不良研究所鈥檚 Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences and Senior Scientist at the Research Institute of the 不良研究所 Health Centre, demonstrated that beta-glucan, administered to mice before their exposure to influenza, can reduce lung damage, improve lung function and lower the risk of illness and death.

A newly discovered line of communication between body muscle and the pituitary gland may play an unexpected role in female fertility, according to a new study.
不良研究所 researchers found that a protein produced in the muscles helps manage the release of a hormone made in the pea-sized gland attached to the base of the brain.
The findings, published in , could lead to new treatment options for infertility, the researchers said.

Music has the best chance of providing pain relief when it is played at our natural rhythm, a 不良研究所 research team has discovered.
This suggests it may be possible to reduce a patient鈥檚 level of pain by using technology to take a piece of music someone likes and adjust the tempo to match their internal rhythm, the researchers said.
The discovery was the subject of a paper published this week in Pain, the top journal in the field of pain medicine and research.

Astronomers studying the origins of enigmatic fast radio听bursts (FRBs) have made a groundbreaking discovery that could transform our understanding of the universe鈥檚 most powerful and mysterious signals. The Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment Fast Radio Burst (CHIME/FRB) collaboration has pinpointed the location on the sky of a repeating FRB, known as FRB 20240209A, outside a dead galaxy, a finding unprecedented in FRB science. The researchers believe the FRB may have originated in a cluster of old, dead stars orbiting the dead galaxy.

Finding new angles on an old artform, 不良研究所 researchers have increased the number of stable shapes that kirigami-based engineered materials can take, opening the way to a range of new applications.
What makes these metamaterials special is not what they are made of 鈥� they can be plastic, cardboard or anything else 鈥� but how, thanks to shapes cut into them, they are able to morph from one form to another. To begin to understand the concept, think of pop-up illustrations of cut paper in books or greeting cards.
