🐍🧬 Researchers in #China's #Huaping National #Nature Reserve identified the Guangxi reed #snake, a non-venomous species that mimics a second head with its tail. By waving its tail when threatened, the 20 cm #reptile confuses #predators.

🏛️🧬 Researchers at University College #London found that visiting #museums and attending #concerts may slow biological #aging by 4%.
Analyzing #data from 3,500 adults, the #study suggests weekly cultural engagement reduces #stress and inflammation. The #health benefits are comparable to regular exercise, potentially leading to future "arts prescriptions" for healthy #aging.

"[A]s the evidence mounts, scientists continue to puzzle over the pleasant surprise—how are vaccines that target specific pathogens inadvertently shielding our minds from deterioration?
A burgeoning hypothesis offers a brow-raising possibility: The shots may be protecting our noggins by training the part of our immune system that had long been considered untrainable."

Scientists have discovered that the human body undergoes a dramatic internal transformation during extended fasting, with major changes appearing only after about three days without food. In a seven-day water-only fasting study, researchers tracked thousands of proteins in the blood and found widespread shifts affecting organs throughout the body — including the brain. While the body quickly switches from burning glucose to fat, the most intriguing biological changes linked to potential health benefits didn’t emerge until later in the fast.

🦥💩 Three-toed #sloths risk #predator attacks on the #forest floor once a week to maintain a complex #ecosystem within their fur.
The dangerous routine allows sloth moths to reproduce and promotes nutrient-rich #algae growth, which provides the slow-moving #mammals with essential #camouflage and a potential supplemental #food source.
