Anti-Vaping-Kampagnen senkten Jugendvaping in den USA von 20 % auf 5,9 %

UC San Diego researchers found that anti-vaping advertising and news coverage of the 2019 EVALI lung injury outbreak were the turning point in reversing teen vaping in the US. Among California adolescents, quit attempts nearly doubled between 2017–18 and 2019–20. Nationally, youth vaping fell from a peak of 20% in 2019 to 5.9% by 2024 — proof that public health messaging works.

Kunst, Musik und Tanz können das ADHS-Gehirn ohne Medikamente neu vernetzen

New research shows that the "defocused attention" typical of ADHD is also a powerful driver of creative thinking. Activities like art, music, dance, writing, and gaming can provide structured ways to channel this trait — and may strengthen the neural networks involved in attention control, reducing impulsivity and hyperactivity. ADHD affects nearly 8% of children worldwide.

Researchers have successfully extracted keratin from wool and used it to regenerate bone in a living animal. The wool-based scaffolds produced bone that was more organized and structurally sound than collagen, the long-standing benchmark. Wool is often a by-product of farming, making the material both renewable and scalable.
