New molecule promoting healthy mitochondria via mitophagy found
For decades, scientists have suspected a gut-brain connection in human biology. Recently, a team of researchers at the Buck Institute discovered a new drug-like molecule that keeps mitochondria healthy through mitophagy. According to a statement by scientists, mitophagy is a process that removes and recycles damaged mitochondria in multicellular organisms. Plant compound to aid brain…

U.S. men die nearly six years before women, gap is largest since 1996 — Harvard Gazette
We’ve known for more than a century that women outlive men. But new research led by Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and University of California, San Francisco, shows that, at least in the United States, the gap has been widening for more than a decade. The trend is being driven by the COVID-19 pandemic…

Redefining energy efficiency in data processing
In a paper published in the journal Nature Electronics, researchers from EPFL’s School of Engineering in the Laboratory of Nanoscale Electronics and Structures (LANES) present a new processor that tackles this inefficiency by integrating data processing and storage onto a single device, a so-called in-memory processor. They broke new ground by creating the first in-memory…
