Medical University of South Carolina researchers report in Advances in Skin & Wound Care that they have linked loneliness in patients with chronic leg and foot wounds to increased expression of inflammatory genes and slower wound healing. They found higher expression of these genes in the high-loneliness group than the low-loneliness group. This finding adds to the growing body of evidence that feelings of loneliness have an impact on our ability to heal.

A newly developed magnetic biochar material could help farmers grow safer rice in soils contaminated with toxic elements, while also improving crop yields and soil health.
