Medical Xpress / New insight into how protein TDP-43 affects gene expression in ALS and FTD
Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) are medical conditions characterized by the progressive degradation of cells in the brain, ...
Tech Xplore / Humans and AI models show similar confusion when reading tricky program code
Researchers from Saarland University and the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems have, for the first time, shown that the reactions of humans and large language models (LLMs) to complex or misleading program code significantly ...
Phys.org / Group 13 elements: The lucky number for sustainable redox agents?
Researchers from The University of Osaka created a reagent for important building-block molecules with an abundant main-group element, gallium. These early findings show that an organic gallium compound can display transition-metal-like ...
Medical Xpress / Genetic clues: Can depression risk predict MS progression?
Researchers in the Rady Faculty of Health Sciences are exploring whether a person's genetic risk for depression can help predict how multiple sclerosis (MS) progresses.
Phys.org / Devastating stellar storm seen on red dwarf star
A first ever detection of a coronal mass ejection from a small red dwarf could have big consequences for life on any nearby planets.
Phys.org / Why refugees in Australia still face barriers to good jobs
Humanitarian migrants (refugees) in Australia remain significantly less likely to be employed than non-humanitarian migrants, even after five years of resettlement, largely due to employer discrimination rather than any shortfall ...
Phys.org / Trained to serve: Service dogs' roles are expanding to help more people
In short order, Teddy—a bright-eyed and bushy-tailed 3-year-old yellow Lab—punched a wall button with his nose, yanked a rope to open a kitchen cabinet door and tugged a walker across the floor.
Medical Xpress / Europe's hidden HIV crisis: Half of all people living with HIV are diagnosed late, data indicate
Europe is failing to test and treat HIV early, with over half (54%) of all diagnoses in 2024 being made too late for optimal treatment. New data released by the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and ...
Phys.org / Dating a North American rock art tradition that lasted 175 generations
The Pecos River murals are a stunning collection of monumental, multicolored rock paintings in limestone rock shelters across southwest Texas and northern Mexico. They depict human-like figures that reach up to eight meters ...
Medical Xpress / Prototype device restores lost smell by teaching the brain to feel odors
There is new hope for people who have lost their smell. Scientists have successfully tested a breakthrough device that lets people detect the presence of certain odors. This innovative system helps them "smell" again by translating ...
Phys.org / Quantum sensor based on silicon carbide qubits operates at room temperature
Over the past decades, physicists and quantum engineers introduced a wide range of systems that perform desired functions leveraging quantum mechanical effects. These include so-called quantum sensors, devices that rely on ...
Tech Xplore / Coffee waste helps make lower carbon concrete
RMIT researchers are advancing new ways to cut the carbon footprint of infrastructure by turning everyday organic waste into useful construction materials.
