When Nrf2 is exposed to threats to the cell's health it oscillates faster and activates an increase in the cell's defence mechanism including raising the levels of antioxidant.
The researchers from the University's Warwick Medical school successfully increased the speed of Nrf2's movement by artificially introducing health beneficial substances--potential components of new superfoods The beneficial substances comprise broccoli-derived sulforaphane and quercetin
When stimulated by a health beneficial vegetable-derived substance Nrf2's cycle sped up to 80 minutes.
Discussing the health benefits of the research Professor Thornalley argues: The health benefit of Nrf2 oscillating at a fast speed is that surveillance of cell health is increased
when most needed that is when cells are under threat. By understanding how this process works and increasing Nrf2's speed without putting cells under threat new strategies for design of healthier foods
Current designs may have selected substances with suboptimal if not poor health benefits in some cases.

New algorithm lets drones monitor their own health during long package-delivery missionsin the near future the package that you ordered online may be deposited at your doorstep by a drone:
The team first developed an algorithm that enables a drone to monitor aspects of its health in real time.
In simulations involving multiple deliveries under various environmental conditions the researchers found that their drones delivered as many packages as those that lacked health-monitoring algorithms--but with far fewer failures or breakdowns.

Using a word coding technique researchers tracked how the European commission's drafts on tobacco control policy changed markedly between 2010 and 2013 resembling tobacco industry submissions much more than those of health groups in the latter stages.
They also coded 20 documents from 18 stakeholders (health groups and representatives from the tobacco industry) written between 2010 and 2013 in
They found that the European documents shifted from a near neutral position of 0. 52 (slightly favouring the health groups) to 0. 4 (a relative 10%shift towards the tobacco industry position.
Initially the European commission's draft legislation from 2010 was closer to the position of health groups
The word'health'which appeared in about 1. 71%of words in health group submissions made up around 1. 5%of total words in the initial European commission proposal
Meanwhile the researchers found that the root word'warn'used frequently in submissions by health groups declined from 1. 57%to 1. 18%in official EU documents.
