A new study has identified a critical β€œpressure sensor” inside the #kidney that helps the body control #blood pressure and fluid levels. The finding helps explain how the kidneys sense changes in blood volume β€” something #scientists for decades have known occurs but didn’t have a mechanistic explanation.

The #contraceptive pill has been hailed as one of the most revolutionary health technologies of the 20th century – a tool that gave #women control over their #fertility and paved the way for education and careers. But a new study suggests that this freedom may have come at a hidden cost: impaired #mental health.

Researchers from Empa, EPFL and CSEM have developed a green smart #sensing tag that measures #temperature and #humidity in real time – and can also detect whether a temperature threshold has been exceeded. In the future, this could be used to monitor sensitive shipments such as medicines or food. The sensor tag itself is completely #biodegradable

For more than two decades, researchers at the University of Basel have been investigating a severe form of muscular #dystrophy in which #muscles progressively degenerate. The research team has now discovered that the muscles’ ability to regenerate is also impaired.

Interesting podcast.

#Cats are among the most successful #domestic mammals; they are widespread throughout the world, even in the most remote areas around the globe. Their estimated number is around one billion. Earlier studies have shown that the domestic cat Felis catus descended from the North #African wildcat Felis lybica lybica.
