With health problems related to poor diets and obesity continuing to become more widespread, researchers are hunting for the specific biological mechanisms behind preferences for fatty foods – and for potential ways to dial them down. If we uncover the brain cells and pathways responsible for increasing the likelihood of eating too much or preferring unhealthy types of food (even when we know they're bad for us), then it follows that we might be able to nudge them back in the right direction too. Now researchers led by a team from Osaka Metropolitan University in Japan have found that one neural protein in particular can have a significant effect on fat intake and weight gain in mice. The researchers ran several experiments to isolate the role of OPA1. (Matsumura et al., FASEB J., 2026)The study, published in the FASEB Journal, identifies optic atrophy-1 (OPA1) as well worth investigating further. The protein is responsible for the smooth running of cell batteries known as mitochondria, and when it's absent, eating patterns change.

Open this photo in gallery:The 24 Sussex renovation is an opportunity to create a flagship of contemporary Canadian design. And that opportunity, so far, is being missed. Adrian Wyld/The Canadian PressImagine, a decade from now, the Prime Minister returning home to a great building. The house at 24 Sussex Drive has been renovated and expanded by a team of Canada’s best architects, landscape architects, interior designers and product designers. Photo-ops are framed by windows overlooking the Ottawa River, alongside artwork by Christi Belcourt and lighting by Montreal’s Lambert & Fils. This is what the Prime Minister’s residence should become: a symbol of a country that honours its own creative talent and gives it pride of place. Now that Canada is engaged in a fight for its sovereignty against American overreach, it is crucial for the nation to assert its values and its capabilities. A new 24 Sussex must send a bold message. Alas, the reality seems likely to be much less inspiring. This summer, Prime Minister Mark Carney launched a process to “rehabilitate and modernize” the house. It is a welcome effort to bring the building, which has been vacant for a decade, back into shape.

Researchers at Edith Cowan University (ECU) have identified a potentially important source of low-emission energy beneath Western Australia, where vast iron-rich formations may be capable of generating naturally occurring hydrogen. The findings suggest that the region's geology could eventually support a new domestic energy source and, if developed at scale, a major hydrogen export industry.

MidwesternBy Eric ThompsonAugust 29, 2026 - 6:42amThe Grey Bruce Public Health board appointed a new permanent Medical Officer of Health at Friday's meeting. The Health Unit announced Dr. Brittany Graham will take over the position, after serving in the role in an acting capacity since April 16. She took over for Dr. Ian Arra, who stepped down in the spring. "Dr. Graham has done an excellent job as Acting Medical Officer of Health, and we are thrilled to welcome her to the permanent position," said Ken Craig, Board of Health Chair. However, with Graham set to begin almost a year of parental leave in a few weeks, the board also announced that Dr. Eileen de Villa will serve as Acting Medical Officer of Health and CEO during that time. De Villa served as the Special Advisor to the Chief Medical Officer of Health, during the year that the province ran the board of health. "I am honoured to take on the role of Acting Medical Officer of Health and Chief Executive Officer, and to support the important work already underway at GBPH. " said Dr. de Villa. "During Dr.

What happens in one ocean doesn't necessarily stay there. For centuries, changes over the tropical Pacific have traveled through the atmosphere to influence temperatures in the Indian Ocean thousands of kilometers away. Think of it as a long-distance climate conversation between two enormous bodies of water. And that conversation matters to us on land. Indian Ocean temperatures can influence rainfall and other climate conditions across densely populated parts of Africa, Asia, and Australia. Relatively stable relationships between tropical oceans can also help scientists predict climate conditions from seasons to years ahead. But one important part of that relationship is behaving very differently. A new study published in Nature Communications has found that a long-standing connection between Pacific atmospheric circulation and temperatures across the tropical Indian Ocean has broken down dramatically in recent decades. Looking back through centuries of climate history, the researchers found that the modern shift appears exceptional. An important player is the Pacific Walker circulation, a vast system of moving air above the tropical Pacific. The basic idea is simple.

If you are considering the list of American artists who have continually poked at the outer edges of the creative envelope for decades, the short list would certainly include David Byrne near the top. His show last night at the Hollywood Bowl was jaw dropping in terms of creativity and musicianship. His long-standing fascination with marching bands and choreography remains front and center. He even had the USC Marching Band do a brief introduction, which in itself contained a surprising and poignant tribute to Dolly Parton with a robust version of “9 to 5.” Byrne was almost unseen watching from the edge of the stage, undoubtedly pleased.

A tiny spider with a bright red smile on its back has surprised scientists by turning up thousands of miles from where they thought its famous relatives lived. For more than 100 years, the Happy Face spider was believed to exist only in Hawaii, making it one of the world’s most recognizable and unusual arachnids. Now, researchers from the Forest Research Institute and the Regional Museum of Natural History have identified a new species in the mountains of Uttarakhand, India. Because of its striking resemblance to the Hawaiian species, they named it Theridion himalayana, or the Himalayan Happy Face spider.
