Individuals with one to three allergenic foods are able to introduce and continue eating allergenic foods at 12 months after multifood oral immunotherapy (mOIT) or omalizumab, according to a study presented at the annual ...
Phys.org / Salt may have pushed us further into Snowball Earth 700 million years ago
Our planet plunged into one of the most dramatic climate states in its long history, approximately 720–635 million years ago. During a period geologists call Snowball Earth, ice sheets crept from the poles all the way to ...
Phys.org / Largest known Mesozoic crocodyliform egg clutch discovered in Brazil
In a study published in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, researchers Dr. Giovanna M. X. Paixão and her colleagues analyzed the fossilized remains of three Upper Cretaceous egg clutches. One of these clutches, totaling ...
Phys.org / Gravitational waves reveal hidden structure of galactic centers
A new study published in Nature Astronomy indicates that the dense, star- and dark-matter–rich environments around supermassive black hole binaries pack on the order of a million solar masses into each cubic parsec. The ...
Medical Xpress / Cheek cells may provide clues to schizophrenia risk
A simple cheek swab could one day provide a quick and noninvasive diagnostic test for schizophrenia. A new study published in Science Advances has identified higher levels of two biological markers in the cheek swabs of patients ...
Phys.org / Many scientists now use AI but fail to disclose it, study finds
When scientists employ generative AI tools like ChatGPT to help with tasks such as editing and translation for their academic writing, many journals now ask them to disclose this assistance. The rules are intended to maintain ...
Medical Xpress / Three distinct ADHD biotypes identified using a novel brain-first, data-driven approach
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder or ADHD translates in different ways across the population, unlike the overgeneralized version presented on social media. A recent study further solidified this idea by identifying ...
Phys.org / Satellite images uncover new threat to emperor penguins during their annual molt
The tall black-and-white residents of Antarctica, who waddle around its icy landscape, are in peril thanks to the rapidly warming global climate. Emperor penguins go through an annual transformation called catastrophic molting, ...
Medical Xpress / An AI-informed model of human reward-based learning: Hybrid approach could aid studies of mood disorders
People's decisions are known to be influenced by past experiences, including the outcomes of earlier choices. For over a century, psychologists have been trying to shed light on the processes underpinning human decision-making ...
Medical Xpress / Feeling stressed? These immune cells might be key to understanding why
There are many ways that the human body responds to stress, from the adrenaline rush of the "fight-or-flight" instinct to more subtle, complex changes that may not be immediately recognizable to us.
Phys.org / Stars like our sun may maintain the same rotation pattern for life, contrary to 45 years of theoretical predictions
Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan have conducted the most detailed simulation of the interior of stars and disproved a theory scientists have believed for 45 years: that stars switch their rotation patterns as they ...
Phys.org / Overshoot reshapes climate strategies—but the path to net zero remains unchanged
Temporary overshoot of global temperature targets—particularly the 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement—is no longer just a modeling concept. New research, published in Nature Climate Change and led by the Euro-Mediterranean ...
