Phys.org / New group of potential diabetes drugs with fewer side effects can reprogram insulin-resistant cells to be healthier
Using a blend of computer modeling, structural and cell-based studies, scientists at The Wertheim UF Scripps Institute have designed a group of potential diabetes drugs that reprogram insulin-resistant cells into a healthier ...
Phys.org / The electrifying science behind Martian dust
Mars, often depicted as a barren red planet, is far from lifeless. With its thin atmosphere and dusty surface, it is an energetic and electrically charged environment where dust storms and dust devils continually reshape ...
Medical Xpress / First map of nerve circuitry in bone helps physicians identify key signals for bone repair
When a house catches on fire, we assume that a smoke alarm inside will serve one purpose and one purpose only: warn the occupants of danger. But imagine if the device could transform into something that could fight the fire ...
Medical Xpress / Engineered protein complex could help immunotherapies target hard-to-treat neuroblastoma
Researchers from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) have developed a method to help cancer immunotherapies reach otherwise "invisible" tumors by helping guide therapies to their appropriate targets. This could be ...
Medical Xpress / Research shows how immune system reacts to pig kidney transplants in living patients
Novel research led by Brazilian scientists describes the immune system's reactions in detail in the first living patient to receive a genetically modified pig kidney transplant. This paves the way for the search for therapies ...
Phys.org / Quantum-enhanced interferometry amplifies detection of tiny laser beam shifts and tilts
A quantum trick based on interferometric measurements allows a team of researchers at LMU to detect even the smallest movements of a laser beam with extreme sensitivity.
Medical Xpress / A double-pronged attack on malignant B cells with improved immunotherapy
Multiple myeloma, a cancer of the bone marrow, remains difficult to treat despite modern CAR T cell therapies. In recent research, a team led by Dr. Armin Rehm presents an improved immunotherapy that recognizes two distinct ...

Self-administered injectable contraceptives have been available in the United States for more than two decades, yet a new study has found only about a quarter of reproductive health experts prescribe it—and many are unaware ...
Medical Xpress / Unique protein signatures linked to ethnicity and changes in physical activity observed in new study
A Leicester study has shed light on why people of South Asian (SA) origin may face a higher risk of cardiometabolic disorders and respond differently to physical activity compared to white European people (WE).
Tech Xplore / 'Worst in Show' CES products include AI refrigerators, AI companions and AI doorbells
The promise of artificial intelligence was front and center at this year's CES gadget show. But spicing up a simple machine like a refrigerator with unnecessary AI was also a surefire way to win the "Worst in Show."
Medical Xpress / Blood test shows when it's safe to stop antibiotics in sepsis patients
A simple blood test can tell doctors when it is safe to stop antibiotics in patients recovering from sepsis, a review led by University of Manchester researchers has found.
