Could teeth be on the edge of self-repair with stem cells?

Stem cells hold the key to wound healing, as they develop into specialised cell types throughout the body – including in teeth. Now an international team of researchers has found a mechanism that could offer a potential novel solution to tooth repair. Published today in Nature Communications, the study showed that a gene called Dlk1 enhances

Ocean acidification could have serious consequences for millions of people globally

Scientists say that only significant cuts in fossil fuel emissions will prevent changes to the environment becoming more widespread Ocean acidification could have serious consequences for the millions of people globally whose lives depend on coastal protection, fisheries and aquaculture, a new publication suggests. Writing in Emerging Topics in Life Sciences, scientists say that only

Billions of nanoplastics accumulate in marine organisms within six hours

The research, led by the University of Plymouth, examined the uptake of nanoparticles by a commercially important mollusc, the great scallop (Pecten maximus). After six hours exposure in the laboratory, billions of particles measuring 250nm (around 0.00025mm) had accumulated within the scallop’s intestines. However, considerably more even smaller particles measuring 20nm (0.00002mm) had become dispersed

Could robots be counsellors? Could be more realistic than we think

New research has shown for the first time that a social robot can deliver a ‘helpful’ and ‘enjoyable’ motivational interview (MI) – a counselling technique designed to support behaviour change. Many participants in the University of Plymouth study praised the ‘non-judgemental’ nature of the humanoid NAO robot as it delivered its session – with one

Music sessions could be crucial in transforming the lives of millions of people with verbal challenges

Tailored music sessions could be crucial in transforming the lives of millions of people whose speech is impacted by learning difficulties, strokes, dementia, brain damage and autism, a new study suggests. It could enable individuals and their families to feel less isolated or neglected within society, while enhancing their ability to communicate, both with each

Global investigation reveals true scale of ocean warming

Warming oceans are causing marine species to change breeding times and shift homes with expected substantial consequences for the broader marine landscape, according to a new global study. The three-year research project, funded by the National Centre for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis in California, has shown widespread systemic shifts in measures such as distribution of
