A University of Toronto report suggests charging drivers for environmental damage caused by their cars can encourage sustainable transportation habits. The study found that combining increased prices with better urban planning led to the most significant changes in driving behavior and fuel emissions.
Scientists at Max Planck Institute have developed a non-invasive method to supply diseased hearts with vessel growth promoting factors, using microscopic beads that slowly release growth factor over 7 days. The treatment is suitable for small vessels but not large stenosing coronary vessels.

A year-long study predicts severe impacts of global warming on North American prairies, with water shortages and habitat loss threatening migratory birds. The changing climate could lead to further ecosystem upheavals, forcing native species out as nuisance plants move in.
Researchers developed a new approach to assess social determinants of health by examining issues like employment, housing, and education through the eyes of community residents. This approach gives a voice to those who are normally not heard, forcing experts to listen to their perspectives on quality of life.
