☀️ Rainwater roofs could fight extreme heat waves

New research from The University of Manchester modeled a system that sprays harvested rainwater onto buildings during hot weather. This study used Tokyo as a case study and found that cooler roofs transfer less heat into structures. These effects could help reduce urban temperatures, cutting the number of heatwave days overall. Researchers suggest this provides a practical way to lower energy demand and urban heat. This approach also helps reduce extreme urban runoff. 💧

An Israeli study suggests that sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra, could help prevent cancer tumor spread. Researchers from the Weizmann Institute of Science found this potential in a lab study conducted by Dr. Yarden Ariav. The findings are based on lab work, mouse experiments, and data from 5 million individuals over 20 years. This works by changing how cholesterol is transported inside cancer cells, making metastasis harder. Future controlled clinical trials are needed to prove this drug's effectiveness in humans.

🧠 Brain might be programmed to fight weight loss

New research suggests the human brain is biologically wired to defend body fat, making weight loss maintenance tough. This mechanism evolved to protect energy reserves during food scarcity for humans. When weight is lost, the body signals a survival threat, increasing cravings and lowering energy use. The brain can 'remember' a previous higher weight and try to restore it after dieting. Future therapies aim to counter this biological drive, alongside better public health measures.
