☀️ 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.

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.

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.
