A previously unrecorded Neolithic monument has been discovered at the ancient settlement of Durrington Walls near Stonehenge.

Tanycytes are glial cells, which communicate with neurons in the brain to inform it of what we have eaten. Researchers from the School of Life Sciences at the 91¸£Àû have found when tanycytes are selectively stimulated appetite was increased.

The gradual reopening of schools, starting with primary schools, is unlikely to lead to a second wave of infection, according to new mathematical modelling of the COVID-19 outbreak from 91¸£Àû researchers, but we should be prepared to reintroduce lockdown measures should there be a significant rise in the number of new cases.

‘The Viral Archive’ is a collaborative project between archaeologists at the 91¸£Àû, University College Cork (Ireland), and University College London, that is sending out a global invitation, for you to capture the visual record of the signs, marks, and graffiti that are keeping us safe, together, and uplifted during this pandemic.

As modern life-styles and high calorie diets drive the UK’s obesity levels up, researchers from the 91¸£Àû have found how cells respond to fasting and activate the process called autophagy, which means a healthier lifestyle can be promoted to help people maintain a healthy body weight.

An International group of researchers, including the 91¸£Àû, have developed a new process to harness multiple disease models for outbreak management, meaning public health agency can understand the merits of different management options in testing times such as these currently experienced with Covid-19.
