Medical Xpress / HIV reveals more than 100 escape mutations against promising antibody therapies
Broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) are among the most promising new treatments for HIV, offering the potential to forego traditional daily doses of antiretroviral drugs. In one recent clinical study of bNAbs identified ...
Phys.org / Ancient bacterial toolkit links human gut health to ocean carbon cycling
Our gut is colonized by legions of bacteria, which supply us with essential nutrients and support our health. Among them are Akkermansia bacteria, which might be helpful in the management of conditions like obesity and diabetes.
Science X / Salmon make clicking sounds when stressed—but no one knows how
It's noisy underwater, especially just below the surface. "A lot of the ambient noise is from the wind and waves," says Kristbjörg Edda Jónsdóttir, who is a research scientist at SINTEF, where she found out how much noise ...
Medical Xpress / AI joins the quest to find new treatments for rare diseases
Rare neuromuscular diseases often lack treatments because developing targeted drugs is slow, costly and risky for companies. A new approach using AI and stem cell models could finally shift the balance.
Medical Xpress / New positive data on old drugs: Digitalis reduces heart failure events
Analyses supporting the use of digitalis glycosides in patients with heart failure were presented in a Late-Breaking Science session today at Heart Failure 2026, the annual congress of the Heart Failure Association of the ...
Phys.org / Scurvy's skeletal fingerprint found in California's Late Holocene archaeological sites
A recent study published in the International Journal of Osteoarchaeology documented skeletal changes linked to scurvy in Late Holocene archaeological sites in California (500 BCE–1834 CE). The change observed shows the cascading ...
Science X / 60 years of data reveal the biggest source of workplace stress
It's not uncommon to come across job descriptions on portals that are lengthy, yet leave the reader with little clarity about what the role actually involves. Uncertainty about one's role at work may be more damaging than ...
Phys.org / New tectonic plate boundary could be forming in Zambia, scientists say
Isotope analysis of gas from geothermal springs in Zambia could show that a new continental rift is forming, scientists say. Unexpectedly high helium isotope ratios indicate that a weakness in Earth's crust has broken through ...
Medical Xpress / Digital aging twin measures how organs age at different speeds across adulthood
Aging is a complex process, and precisely measuring how the human body declines has long been a challenge. Two people of the same chronological age can have very different health trajectories. Scientists have also struggled ...
Medical Xpress / Caffeine may influence the way the brain responds to touch
Many people begin each day with a steaming cup of joe to shake off the morning fog and jump-start their brain. Whether it's a shot of espresso or a frothy latte, that caffeine hit is famous for boosting alertness. However, ...
Phys.org / New alien-life test could help Mars and Europa missions read organic molecules
For decades, the search for life beyond Earth has revolved around a key question: What molecules should scientists be looking for on other planets or moons? A new study, published in Nature Astronomy, suggests that the more ...
Phys.org / JWST spots two early black holes growing far faster than their galaxies
Astronomers have discovered two early-universe galaxies where the central black holes appear to have grown far faster than their host galaxies. Observations with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) reveal that the black ...
