The team led by Prof. Mary E. Jung and Prof. Jonathan P. Little from University of British Columbia–Okanagan Campus performed a pragmatic randomized controlled trial, known as the CHOICE trial, investigated whether providing a choice between high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) within a community-based diabetes prevention program (Small Steps for Big Changes, SSBC) would yield better psychological, behavioral, and fitness outcomes compared to being prescribed a single exercise modality. This study was published in Translational Exercise Biomedicine (ISSN: 2942-6812), an official partner journal of International Federation of Sports Medicine (FIMS).

Using sintered lunar regolith for heat storage, Harbin Institute of Technology researchers demonstrate how a closed Brayton cycle combined with thermoelectric generators could provide uninterrupted electricity for future moonbases

This review systematically summarizes the anti-aging potential of plant-derived ingredients in skincare, emphasizing their multifunctional roles in moisturizing, barrier repair, antioxidation, photoprotection, and anti-inflammation. It highlights how bioactive compounds such as polysaccharides, polyphenols, flavonoids, and vitamins target key mechanisms of skin aging, including oxidative stress, collagen degradation, and UV-induced damage. The article also discusses the growing consumer preference for natural, safe, and sustainable cosmetics, alongside industry trends toward plant-based formulations. By integrating biological mechanisms with application strategies, this work provides valuable insights for developing effective, green, and multifunctional anti-aging cosmetic products.
