| Forgotten Medicinal Plant Shows Promise in Fighting Dangerous Superbugs |
|
|
2026-04-23 23:30:05 +00:00
 A traditional medicinal plant, tormentil, shows promise against antibiotic-resistant bacteria in laboratory tests. Its compounds work by limiting bacterial growth and boosting antibiotic performance. Before the development of modern antibiotics, plant-based remedies were commonly used to treat infections. One such plant is tormentil (Potentilla erecta), a small yellow wildflower found across Ireland, the UK, and [...]

| The Neanderthal “Love Story” Isn’t What It Seems |
|
|
2026-04-23 21:22:54 +00:00
 New interpretations suggest that Neanderthal and Sapiens interactions were shaped by biology and social structure, not simple romantic preference. Media portrayals have turned a nuanced genetic finding into a narrative of prehistoric romance, despite the research offering only cautious, model-based explanations for patterns in Neanderthal DNA. When viewed alongside archaeological and anthropological evidence, these patterns [...]
