Researchers have discovered that RvT4, a molecule, significantly boosts the body’s defenses against atherosclerosis in rheumatoid arthritis patients by enhancing macrophages’ ability to reduce inflammation and clear vascular blockages. This finding opens up new avenues for treating individuals with rheumatoid arthritis, who are at a heightened risk for cardiovascular diseases. Credit: SciTechDaily.comA new study reveals that RvT4 improves macrophage function to fight atherosclerosis in rheumatoid arthritis, suggesting new…

The largest-ever study on vitamin D supplementation in children, led by Queen Mary University of London and Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, reveals that vitamin D supplements do not prevent fractures or improve bone strength in vitamin D deficient children, contradicting previous assumptions about the benefits of vitamin D on bone health.A major clinical trial conducted by Queen Mary University of London in collaboration with the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health has discovered that vitamin D…

A groundbreaking study has revealed a significant connection between individuals’ music preferences and their moral values. Utilizing machine learning to analyze lyrics and audio features of favorite songs, the study found that music significantly influences moral sensibilities. Over 1,400 participants shared their favorite music for analysis, which showed that musical elements like pitch and timbre correlate with certain moral values. Researchers have found a strong connection between people’s music tastes and their…

A study by Queen Mary University of London indicates that e-cigarettes and other nicotine alternatives do not encourage smoking and may even compete with traditional cigarettes, hastening their decline. Comparing different countries, the study suggests a link between the rise of these alternatives and a decrease in smoking, but further research is needed for conclusive evidence.The most comprehensive study to date investigating whether e-cigarettes examining if e-cigarettes serve as a gateway into or out of smoking,…

Researchers at UCL and Queen Mary University of London have built an algorithm that assesses whether a bailout is the best strategy for the public purse, according to a UCL release. Governments could soon predict whether a bank bailout will ultimately save taxpayer money using an artificial intelligence tool developed at two London universities.Researchers at UCL and Queen Mary University of London have built an algorithm that assesses whether a bailout is the best strategy for the public purse, according to a UCL…
