The authors looked at the ability to grow S. platensis on a larger scale with reduced cost given that it is currently quite expensive to grow, but poses as an important food source in the future.

Neuroinflammation and oxidative stress are both known to play a role in the occurrence and severity of seizures. This study tested effects of oxidative stress from seizures by evaluating the longevity, egg-laying, and electroshock resilience of C. elegans. Results revealed that oxidative stress and neuroinflammation diminish longevity and reproductivity while also increasing recovery time after seizures in C. elegans. This research can help lead to future studies and may also lead to finding new therapeutics for epilepsy.

Previous studies have found that how a food item is labeled may influence people's liking of it. This study used a cookie taste test to investigate whether people's liking of a dessert item would be swayed by the use of different labels.

This study examined how prescribed fires affect arthropods in riparian zones surrounding wetlands in north-central Florida. Researchers found that spider abundance remained largely unchanged, while springtail abundance initially decreased but rebounded substantially one month after burning, suggesting early recovery of the riparian food web.

Here the authors investigated the effectiveness of algal pretreatment in reducing nitrate toxicity and extending the survival of fish in contaminated river water. Their findings demonstrate that treating nitrate-polluted water with algae extended fish survival by up to 50%, suggesting that algae could serve as a valuable tool for mitigating the destructive impacts of agricultural and industrial runoff on aquatic ecosystems.

Content warning: This article discusses the frequency and impact of mass violence incidents, particularly school shootings. Gun violence, threats of gun violence, firearm supply, fatalities among minors, and bullying are discussed but not graphically described.

The authors studied the impact of menstrual costs on the gender wage gap.

The authors studied the impact of drying blood as a storage solution for space travel.

The authors looked at how nanosilver particles may negatively impact the pond water environment. They used D. magna as an indicator species to look at the impact of different concentrations of nanosilver particles.

The authors looked at different strategies to extract oil from almonds to determine which gave the best results.
