Study Finds THC in Breastmilk: Here’s What Every Cannabis-Using Mother Should Know
When breastfeeding mothers in a recent study used cannabis, its psychoactive component THC appeared in their breast milk. The Washington State University-led research also found that, unlike alcohol, THC did not have a consistent peak and decline time when detected in the milk.
Importantly, the researchers discovered that the amount of THC they detected in milk was low – they estimated that infants received an average of 0.07 mg of THC per day. For comparison, a common low-dose edible contains 2 mg of THC. The research team stressed that it is unknown whether this amount has any impact on the infant.
“Breastfeeding parents need to be aware that if they use cannabis, their infants are likely consuming cannabinoids via the milk they produce, and we do not know whether this has any effect on the developing infant,” said Courtney Meehan, a WSU biological anthropologist who led the project and is the study’s corresponding author.

Magnetic Fingerprints: STAR Detects Currents in Deconfined Nuclear Matter
Data from heavy ion collisions provide new insights into the electromagnetic properties of quark-gluon plasma “deconfined” from protons and neutrons.
Scientists have uncovered the first direct evidence that the powerful magnetic fields created in off-center collisions of atomic nuclei induce an electric current in “deconfined” nuclear matter. This is a plasma “soup” of quarks and gluons that have been set free, or “deconfined,” from nuclear matter—protons and neutrons—in the particle collisions.

Webb Telescope’s Breakthrough: First Atmospheric Discovery on a Rocky Super-Earth
Gas bubbling up from a lava-covered surface on the exoplanet 55 Cancri e may feed an atmosphere rich in carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide.
Located a mere 41 light years from Earth, the exoplanet 55 Cancri e is so intensely hot that scientists once doubted its ability to sustain an atmosphere. However, a recent study conducted by a national team of scientists suggests 55 Cancri e may be the first rocky exoplanet confirmed to have an atmosphere.

Alarming 500% Surge: Colorectal Cancer Rates Skyrocket Among U.S. Youths
The incidence of colorectal cancer among younger people in the U.S. has been steadily rising over the past two decades, with the most significant increases observed in the youngest age groups. A study recently presented at Digestive Disease Week (DDW) 2024 found that from 1999 to 2020, the rate of colorectal cancers increased by 500% among children aged 10 to 14, 333% among teenagers aged 15 to 19, and 185% among young adults aged 20 to 24.
“Colorectal cancer is no longer considered just a disease of the elderly population,” said lead researcher Islam Mohamed, MD, an internal medicine resident physician at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. “It’s important that the public is aware of signs and symptoms of colorectal cancer.”

This Dietary Supplement Can Reduce Inflammation and Control Blood Sugar
Researchers at the State University of Campinas conducted a study involving 49 participants and found that consuming a dietary supplement with 15 g of the substance daily for five weeks enhanced glucose metabolism post-meal.
The peel of the Jaboticaba berry (Plinia jaboticaba), native to Brazil’s Atlantic Rainforest, is often discarded due to its high tannin content, which gives it a puckering taste. However, a study published in the journal Nutrition Research suggests that this skin could be highly beneficial in combating obesity and metabolic syndrome.

Scripps Scientists Pioneer Vaccine To Combat Deadly “Zombie Drug” Xylazine
Chemical biologists at Scripps Research have developed a preliminary “proof-of-concept” vaccine, potentially paving the way for the first effective treatment for xylazine overdose in humans.
Xylazine, a sedative and pain reliever approved by the FDA for animals, causes severe side effects in humans. Recently, it has been illicitly mixed with opioids such as fentanyl and heroin, as well as cocaine. This has led to a significant increase in overdose fatalities.

7 Years Before Diagnosis – Oxford Scientists Discover Key to Early Cancer Detection
Two studies funded by Cancer Research UK and conducted by Oxford Population Health have identified blood proteins that could potentially alert individuals to the presence of cancer up to seven years before it is diagnosed. Researchers pinpointed 618 proteins associated with 19 different cancer types, including 107 proteins in individuals whose blood samples were collected at least seven years prior to their cancer diagnosis.
The team has discovered that these proteins could be involved at the very earliest stages of cancer, where it could be prevented.
They believe that some of these proteins could be used to detect cancer much earlier than is currently possible. In the future, this could help treat the disease at a much earlier stage or prevent it altogether.

NASA’s Sci-Fi Thrusters: Psyche’s Electric Blue Journey to the Asteroid Belt
NASA’s Psyche spacecraft is on course to explore an asteroid by 2029, using innovative solar-powered electric thrusters for deep space travel. It is already beyond the distance of Mars and is using ion propulsion to accelerate toward a metal-rich asteroid, where it will orbit and collect science data.
NASA’s Psyche spacecraft passed its six-month checkup with a clean bill of health, and there’s no holding back now. Navigators are firing its futuristic-looking electric thrusters, which emit a blue glow, nearly nonstop as the orbiter zips farther into deep space.

Ketamine Decoded: New Study Sheds Light on Its Powerful Brain and Mood Effects
New research explores how ketamine’s effects on single neurons contribute to significant alterations in the functioning of brain networks.
Ketamine, recognized as an Essential Medicine by the World Health Organization, is utilized for a variety of purposes including sedation, pain management, general anesthesia, and treating treatment-resistant depression. Although its effects on brain-wide activity and its target within brain cells are known, the connection between these aspects has been unclear. A recent study conducted by researchers across four institutions in the Boston area employs computational modeling to explore previously overlooked physiological details. This research provides fresh insights into the mechanisms of how ketamine operates.
