City size reduces obesity and impulsivity through better lifestyle and education

Researchers analyzing data from 915 U.S. cities found that both obesity and impulsivity (measured by ADHD rates) are less common in larger cities, with physical inactivity linking ADHD to obesity. Education and mental healthcare access further influence these patterns, highlighting modifiable factors for urban health.

Peptide nanostructures block amyloid buildup and boost neuron survival in lab tests

Researchers developed trehalose-functionalized peptide amphiphiles (TPAs) that self-assemble into supramolecular nanostructures and demonstrated these TPAs can inhibit amyloid beta aggregation. In vitro, TPAs significantly improved survival of human neurons exposed to amyloid-induced neurotoxicity, suggesting therapeutic potential for neurodegenerative diseases.

Scientists reveal how upbringing and genetics interact to shape success

Large-scale registry data from Norway reveal that genetics and shared family environments significantly influence key socioeconomic status indicators, such as education, wealth, income, and occupational prestige. Education shows the strongest genetic influence, while wealth is more affected by family-shared environment. Findings are shaped by both societal context and methodological choices.
