Humans live in a world abundant in salt, but this everyday seasoning is a luxury for wild herbivores, and it's far from clear how these animals get enough.
Medical Xpress / Online tool detects drug exposure directly from patient samples
Doctors and researchers try to understand what medications a person has taken by asking patients directly or by looking at medical records. But this information is often incomplete. People may forget what they took, use over‑the‑counter ...
Medical Xpress / Running boosts dopamine and coordination in aging mice, providing potential insight into Parkinson's disease
The brain-chemical surge that comes with running may bolster coordination and speed in the old and young alike, a new study of middle-aged mice shows. Such physical activity may help restore ease of movement and agility, ...
Phys.org / Mitotic stopwatch pathway shows how cancer loses its sense of time to avoid stress responses
When cell division (mitosis) takes too long, it can be a sign that something is wrong with the cells, for example, DNA damage or chromosomal instability. That's why our cells come with an innate ability to tell the time, ...
Medical Xpress / Computational tool can detect how genetic interactions impact human traits
A new study has developed a powerful computational method that can detect how genes interact with each other to influence complex traits in humans at a scale previously impossible. The new method was applied to massive datasets ...
Medical Xpress / Key protein may shape how the brain links cues to rewards
A new finding from researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center shows that the learning process of associating cues with rewards can be altered by increased or decreased activity of a specific protein in the brain. ...
Phys.org / Molten metal nano-droplets reveal new hybrid state of matter where solids meet liquids
Researchers have discovered that not all atoms in a liquid are in motion and that some remain stationary regardless of the temperature, significantly impacting the solidification process, including the formation of an unusual ...
Phys.org / Slower company acquisition pace can boost corporate values
In the dog-eat-dog world of corporate acquisitions, taking more time between deals may yield more profitable outcomes.
Medical Xpress / Researchers identify CD40 as potential biomarker for a type of nodal T cell lymphoma
Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have characterized the complex microenvironment in angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma (AITL), a type of nodal T cell lymphoma, and identified overexpression ...
Medical Xpress / Home-based monitoring could transform care for patients receiving T-cell redirecting therapies
Patients who receive T-cell redirecting therapies are typically hospitalized for several days after treatment to watch for side effects. Now new research by Fox Chase Cancer Center physicians shows that these patients can ...
Medical Xpress / Among psychologists, AI use is up, but so are concerns
More than half of psychologists experimented with artificial intelligence tools in their practices in the past year, but almost all cite concerns about how the technology may affect their patients and society, according to ...
Phys.org / New study charts how cartel violence increases risks for migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border
As the U.S. government turns its attention to drug cartels in Mexico, new research from the University of California, Davis, suggests that violent competition among criminal organizations increases the risks migrants face ...
