Discovery of fat-burning ‘switch’ could lead to advances in bone disease treatments

News - Tue, 05/12/2026 - 09:38

Scientists’ discovery of a molecular “switch” that activates an energy‑burning pathway in mice has the potential to lead to new treatments for bone disease.

The study, published in , sheds new light on brown fat. Unlike white fat, which stores energy, brown fat cells burn calories, producing heat as a byproduct. For years, it was believed this process relied on a single pathway. More recently, researchers discovered a parallel pathway, but how it became activated remained a mystery.

The parties met on May 6 for a further conciliation session.

At that meeting, the union presented a global counterproposal which, regrettably, did not bring the parties closer to a resolution.

Do lying children grow up to be criminals? Mostly not, study concludes

dzܲԾé - Fri, 05/08/2026 - 13:56

Most childhood lying does not lead to serious problems in adulthood, and only certain kinds of lying behaviour is associated with later psychological or legal issues, a new study has found.

“Children do not all follow the same developmental pattern of lying,” said Victoria Talwar, a professor in the Department of Educational and Counselling Psychology and lead author of the study. “Most children in our study showed low or declining levels of lying over time. For most, lying is not a problem behaviour.”

Experts: Parental influence on children’s honesty

News - Fri, 05/08/2026 - 10:16

Parents have long suspected that their own behaviour carries more weight than what they say to their children. A study involving more than 100 children now confirms this, at least with respect to lying and truthfulness.

A team of researchers from 91˿Ƶ and John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York City presented 127 children ages 5 to 12 with stories illustrating various situations, and then asked them to evaluate the moral character of a parent whose verbal messages and actions were either in harmony or in conflict.
