Artery calcification is almost twice as common in night owls compared to early birds, according to a study from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. Circadian function appears to be particularly important during the early stages of cardiovascular disease. Atherosclerosis involves fatty deposits accumulating on the inside of the arteries, making it harder for blood to pass through. The disease develops over a very long period of time and is not noticed until it leads to blood clots causing angina, heart attack, or stroke. Previous research has shown that people with late-night habits have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, but…

For the first time since 1997, the county is expected to see a number of closely fought battles which could determine which party holds the keys to Number 10. From Chichester to Camber, The Argus has spoken to people in six key constituencies ahead of the election about the mood on the ground and how the results could play out on election day. Today, we look at Chichester, currently held by education secretary Gillian Keegan. This Tory stalwart on the south coast last elected a non-Conservative MP in 1923, Charles Rudkin for the Liberals – although he was jettisoned from…

Galaxy M33 (Triangulum Galaxy) as seen by Hubble Space Telescope. JWST was used recently to observe sites in its southern arm where newly forming stars (YSOs) appear to lie. Our Milky Way bristles with giant molecular clouds birthing stars. Based on what we see here, astronomers assume that the process of star creation also goes on similarly in other galaxies. It makes sense since their stars have to form somehow. Now, thanks to JWST, astronomers have spotted baby stellar objects in a galaxy 2.7 million light-years away. That’s millions of light-years more distant than any previous observations of newly forming…

As speculation grows that Chancellor Jeremy Hunt will halve inheritance tax at the spring budget in March, figures reveal that three-quarters of areas that pay the most are represented by Conservative MPs.

View gallery Image Credit: Shutterstock Mariah Carey, 54, was seen enjoying a shopping trip in a Gucci store in Aspen, CO this week, just days after her ex Bryan Tanaka confirmed their split. The singer reportedly mingled alongside some other shoppers in the store but was accompanied by her bodyguard so she could take her time in the location as she wore a fashionable outfit. It included a long beige long-sleeved dress with a turtleneck, black platform heeled boots, and ear muffs that matched her dress. The beauty, who can be seen in photos here, also accessorized with sunglasses and…

Australian researchers have discovered a new way that epithelial cells, which form layers in organs like the skin and stomach, attach to one another, and how they perceive growth signals at these attachments, helping them form tissues of the right size and shape. Epithelial cells cover the surfaces of most organs in the body and must adhere to each other to form both a protective and permeable barrier. They are exquisitely designed to both be tightly sealed against pathogens like bacteria, and to also allow the transport of salts, fluids, and nutrients. Researchers, led by Professor Kieran Harvey and Dr…
