Mashup Score: 35Eating soup will help cut calories at meal | Penn State University - 12 hour(s) ago
Eating low-calorie soup before a meal can help cut back on how much food and calories you eat at the meal, a new Penn State study shows. Results show that when participants in the study ate a first course of soup before a lunch entree, they reduced their total calorie intake at lunch (soup + entre) by 20 percent, compared to when they did not eat soup. This study expands on previous studies about consuming lower-calorie soup as a way to reduce food intake, said co-author Barbara Rolls, who holds the Guthrie Chair of Nutrition at Penn State.

Mashup Score: 13Microplastics impact cloud formation, likely affecting weather and climate | Penn State University - 2 month(s) ago
Scientists have spotted microplastics, tiny pieces of plastic smaller than 5 millimeters, in some of the most pristine environments on Earth, from the depths of the Mariana Trench to the snow on Mt. Everest to the mountaintop clouds of China and Japan. Microplastics have been detected in human brains, the bellies of sea turtles and the roots of plants. Now, new research led by Penn State scientists reveals that microplastics in the atmosphere could be affecting weather and climate.

Mashup Score: 3
A team of researchers from Penn State College of Medicine found that misfolded versions of a protein exhibit tissue-specific toxicity linked to cell degeneration that may be linked to the development of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The study is a step forward in understanding the physiological processes that may contribute to ALS development and progression and identifies a potential therapeutic target, the researchers said.

Mashup Score: 1Sour Patch adults: 1 in 8 grown-ups love extreme tartness, study shows | Penn State University - 8 month(s) ago
For most people, biting into a lemon would leave them puckered up and desperate to lose that sour flavor, but a new study by Penn State researchers revealed that roughly one in eight adults like intensely sour sensations. The cross-cultural study, recently published in the journal Food Quality and Preference, demonstrated there is a subset of “sour likers” who enjoy exceptionally sour foods.

Mashup Score: 0Novel robotic training program reduces physician errors placing central lines | Penn State University - 8 month(s) ago
More than five million central lines are placed in patients who need prolonged drug delivery, such as those undergoing cancer treatments, in the United States every year, yet the common procedure can lead to a bevy of complications in almost a million of those cases. Penn State researchers developed an robotic simulation training program to provide trainee physicians with more practice on the procedure. A year after deploying the program at the Penn State College of Medicine, the team found that all complication types — mechanical issues, infections and blood clots — were significantly lower.

Mashup Score: 93D-printed skin closes wounds and contains hair follicle precursors | Penn State University - 10 month(s) ago
Fat tissue holds the key to 3D printing layered living skin and potentially hair follicles, according to researchers who recently harnessed fat cells and supporting structures from clinically procured human tissue to precisely correct injuries in rats. The advancement could have implications for reconstructive facial surgery and even hair growth treatments for humans, according to an international team led by researchers from Penn State.

Mashup Score: 03D printing affordable, sustainable and resilient housing in Alaska | Penn State University - 10 month(s) ago
Alaska needs an estimated 27,500 new housing units over the next 10 years to alleviate overcrowding and unsanitary conditions, according to the Alaska Housing Foundation Corporation. An interdisciplinary team of Penn State researchers led by José Pinto Duarte, Stuckeman Chair in Design Innovation and director of the Stuckeman Center for Design Computing, is looking to alleviate some of that stress with a $376,000 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development grant.

Mashup Score: 9Interactive screen use reduces sleep time in kids, researchers find | Penn State University - 12 month(s) ago
While screen time is generally known to affect sleep, new research suggests that interactive engagement, such as texting friends or playing video games, delays and reduces the time spent asleep to a greater extent than passive screen time, like watching television — especially for teens.
