Gray and white hair, a natural consequence of aging, has been linked to pigment cell death and melanin deficiency. While stress-induced graying has been observed in mice, evidence in humans has been lacking until a 2021. Utilizing a high-resolution scanning technique, researchers found correlations between stress cycles and shifts in hair pigmentation. Notably, hair color returned when stress decreased, offering insights into the malleability of human aging influenced by stress. The study suggests a potential for gray and white hairs to regain color, albeit within certain biological age thresholds.

Research paper first authorship gender gap
Women enroll in numbers that are virtually equal to men. In academic medicine, there are still considerable gender inequalities in rank and leadership, notwithstanding parity in medical school admissions. The progression of women in academia will be directly correlated to their success in obtaining the first authorship of original research articles, which measures the […]
SpaceX’s Starlink leaking radio waves, may interfere with radio astronomy
A recent study has revealed that the satellites in SpaceX’s Starlink constellation are emitting low-frequency radio waves that could interfere with radio astronomy. The leaked radio waves are separate from the satellites’ designated downlink bands, potentially impacting our ability to study space. The research used the LOFAR network in Europe to detect electromagnetic leakage from […]
Comparing success: single vs. double-thread miniscrews
A recent comparative study aimed to investigate the success rates of single-thread and double-thread orthodontic miniscrews within the maxillary arch. Orthodontic miniscrews serve as temporary anchorage devices to aid in tooth movement during orthodontic treatment. Understanding which type of miniscrew achieves better outcomes is crucial for optimizing treatment effectiveness. Body: Researchers analyzed data from orthodontic […]
