Scientists at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków have uncovered a groundbreaking discovery that could significantly improve the outcomes of bone marrow transplants, a key treatment for blood cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma.
Scientists from the University of Warsaw are set to embark on an ambitious search for traces of prehistoric human life in the high-altitude caves of Central Asia.
Polish scientists have found a significant connection between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and the severity of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), particularly in patients who also struggle with alexithymia—the inability to recognize or describe their emotions.
Wolves are very social animals that have a huge impact on the functioning of the entire ecosystem. That is why it is so important to protect them and get to know their true face, not the one based on stereotypes and myths, argues Sabina Pierużek-Nowak, PhD, a professor at the University of Warsaw.
Two paintings from the Faras Cathedral depicted scenes of Mary's childhood, not the apostles or Christ, believes Magdalena Łaptaś, PhD, from the Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University. This is a new interpretation of the no longer preserved paintings from the famous medieval cathedral.
Laypeople have chills as often as experts do when listening to Krzysztof Penderecki's Seven Gates of Jerusalem. Although experts analysed fragments of the piece more, its emotional reception did not differ depending on the level of preparation of the audience, the Jagiellonian University experiment shows.
Scientists from Poland are the first to observe that the temperature of some body parts of non-hibernating mammals can drop several degrees below zero Celsius without causing any damage to the body. This concerns the tails of wild yellow-necked mice and striped field mice.
Dividing attention between tasks too often results in a decrease in concentration, shallows emotional reactions, and induces a constant search for stimuli. On the other hand, dividing attention too infrequently distorts the way we perceive reality. Ewa Szumowska, PhD, from the Jagiellonian University investigates the issues of finding a healthy balance.
New research from Poland suggests that adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), such as emotional neglect, abuse, and family dysfunction, may significantly influence eating behaviors in adulthood, potentially leading to obesity and related health disorders. The study highlights the long-lasting effects of trauma, emphasizing the connection between early-life stress and poor dietary choices.
A Polish scientist is spearheading innovative research into the treatment of peritoneal cancers, which often arise from metastases originating in the ovaries, colon, or stomach.
