How to free up around a fifth of agricultural land globally

Making minor changes to how food is produced, supplied and consumed around the world could free up around a fifth of agricultural land, research suggests. Scientists have applied the British cycling team’s strategy of marginal gains – the idea that making multiple small changes can lead to significant effects overall – to the global food system.

Do cells have their own version of a circuit board?

Cells in the body are wired like computer chips to direct signals that instruct how they function, research suggests. Unlike a fixed circuit board, however, cells can rapidly rewire their communication networks to change their behaviour. Cell-wide web The discovery of this cell-wide web turns our understanding of how instructions spread around a cell on

A new approach using 2 old drugs show promise for specific types of stroke and dementia

Treatments that prevent recurrence of types of stroke and dementia caused by damage to small blood vessels in the brain have moved a step closer, following a small study. The drugs – called cilostazol and isosorbide mononitrate – are already used to treat other conditions, such as heart disease and angina. This is the first
