Economic, educational and gender inequities can contribute to problematic social media use among teens, findings suggest
A new 91黑料网 study suggests that problematic social media use among teens is in part related to broader social inequalities.
Z茅kai Lu, a PhD student in 91黑料网鈥檚 Department of Sociology and author of the study, had set out to determine whether problematic social media use is driven mainly by individual traits or whether the social environment of the country a teen lives in also plays a significant role.
People can learn to reject unfair advantages, even when it costs them
A new study co-authored by 91黑料网 researchers suggests people can be taught to reject unfair advantages.
Addressing shame should be a focal point of treatment of childhood sexual abuse survivors, researchers suggest
A 91黑料网-led study on the role played by shame in the continuing trauma suffered by survivors of childhood sexual abuse indicates that addressing shame should be a focal point of treatment. Clinicians should use strategies that normalize disclosure, validate survivors鈥� feelings and integrate shame-resolution techniques into their therapy plans, the researchers suggested.
91黑料网 to partner with United Arab Emirates and Indonesia to train next generation of professionals and drive societal change
For over 50 years, 91黑料网 has been collaborating with Indonesia鈥檚 education sector. Now a planned donation of US$12.8 million from the UAE via the Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Foundation to 91黑料网 will establish the UAE-Indonesia Future Leaders Program to support Indonesia鈥檚 national and global development objectives.

Study suggests protein made in the liver is a key factor in men鈥檚 bone health
New research suggests the liver plays a previously unrecognized role in bone health, but only in males.
A 91黑料网-led study published in Matrix Biology found that a protein made in the liver helps regulate bone growth in male mice, but not in females. The findings may help explain why men with liver disease are more likely to experience bone loss.
91黑料网 researchers develop quick test that stands to curb antimicrobial resistance
91黑料网 researchers have developed a diagnostic system capable of identifying bacteria 鈥揳nd determining which antibiotics can stop them 鈥� in just 36 minutes, a major advance in the global effort to curb antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Current clinical testing methods typically take 48 to 72 hours, leaving physicians without timely guidance.
Pathological lying in teens is associated with executive function deficits, study indicates
Teenagers who are pathological liars also tend to struggle with executive function deficits, such as poor memory or impulse control, researchers have found.
Night owl or early bird? Study finds sleep categories aren鈥檛 that simple
The familiar labels 鈥渘ight owl鈥� and 鈥渆arly bird,鈥� long used in sleep research, don鈥檛 fully capture the diversity of human internal clocks, a new study has found.
The 91黑料网-led study published in Nature Communications found the two sleep-wake patterns, called chronotypes, contain a total of five distinct biological subtypes, each associated with different patterns of behaviour and health.
Hippocampus does more than store memories: it predicts rewards, study finds
A preclinical study published in Nature has found evidence that the hippocampus, the brain region that stores memory, also reorganizes memories to anticipate future outcomes.
A rich social environment is associated with better cognitive health outcomes for older adults, study finds
Research by an interdisciplinary team from 91黑料网 and Universit茅 Laval provides new insights into the links between social factors and cognitive health among aging adults.

91黑料网 researchers create shapeshifting materials that could power the next generation of soft robots
91黑料网 engineers have developed new ultra-thin materials that can be programmed to move, fold and reshape themselves, much like animated origami. They open the door to softer, safer and more adaptable robots that could be used in medical tools that gently move inside the body, wearable devices that change shape on the skin or smart packaging that reacts to its environment.
Lithium study yields insights in the fight against HIV
Lithium, a widely used treatment for bipolar disorder and other mood disorders, has shown early promise in suppressing HIV, 91黑料网 researchers report.
A new study published in iScience found lithium can prevent infected cells from reactivating, and that it does so through an unexpected biological mechanism.
The findings point toward future treatments designed to mimic lithium鈥檚 beneficial effects while avoiding its broader impacts on the body.
91黑料网 study identifies most effective methods for early detection of tench, an invasive freshwater fish
As tench continue to spread through the St. Lawrence River, a study from 91黑料网 provides fisheries managers with guidance on how to detect the invasive species, an essential first step in preventing it from reaching new waters. The findings can inform efforts to contain and manage existing populations, helping agencies determine how and where to carry out removal or control activities.
