Medical Xpress / Study urges alcohol drinkers to be aware of emotional state
While, historically, men in the United States have tended to drink more than women, that trend has reversed over the last decade, prompting a University of Rhode Island behavioral science psychology student to study the implications ...
Medical Xpress / Discovery of a new gene pattern could help doctors identify Ebola faster and more accurately
When someone is infected with Ebola, the body mounts a strong immune response, as it does in response to many pathogens. Researchers at the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine (WFIRM) have now made an important ...
Phys.org / Study warns cost-cutting use of generative AI could increase cyber-attack risks
Newly published research from a leading computer scientist warns that the use of generative AI to design, train, or perform steps within a machine learning system could increase serious risks. Michael Lones, professor at ...
Phys.org / Rising temperatures could be driving up antibiotic resistance in soil, 11-year study finds
Every year, millions suffer, and thousands lose their lives to infections that were once easily treatable with the right dose of medication. The drugs are the same; human physiology is the same; the only difference is that ...
Medical Xpress / Family data reveal two genetic paths to childhood depression and anxiety
Many common mental health disorders, including depression and anxiety, are associated with a tendency to internalize problems or, in other words, to direct feelings inwards instead of expressing them and sharing them with ...
Science X / How camels 'beat the heat' at the cellular level
Living organisms must constantly adjust to their environment to survive. One of the most fundamental challenges is temperature. Even small shifts in heat or cold can disrupt the delicate balance inside cells, affecting how ...
Phys.org / How a newly discovered organelle could help reduce cow methane emissions
When cows burp, they send a substantial amount of methane gas into the air, which makes them a leading contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. According to research published in the journal Science, a newly discovered hydrogen-producing ...
Phys.org / This 'living plastic' activates and self-destructs on command
Many plastic products are designed to be used only once, yet the material itself lasts for years. But a new strategy is addressing this problem by creating products that self-destruct on command, known as living plastics. ...
Tech Xplore / Table tennis robot defeats some of world's best players. Why this has major implications for robotics
A table tennis robot has outperformed elite players in recent evaluations. The robot, called Ace, marks a significant step toward artificial intelligence (AI) systems that can operate in fast, uncertain, real-world environments.
Phys.org / Synthetic biology promised to rewrite life—with the death of its pioneer, J. Craig Venter, how close are scientists?
When scientist J. Craig Venter and his team announced in 2010 that they had created the first cell controlled by a fully synthetic genome, it marked a turning point in how scientists think about life.
Medical Xpress / Blocking a cellular inflammation process could result in effective therapy for pancreatic cancer
Scientists at The Wistar Institute and clinical researchers from ChristianaCare's Helen F. Graham Cancer Center & Research Institute have discovered a vulnerability in pancreatic cancer that could be targeted as a potential ...
Science X / Atlantic bluefin's comeback reveals an ocean-spanning mix that could upend how this iconic fish is managed
Atlantic bluefin tuna, the largest of all tuna species, declined precipitously toward commercial collapse in the early 2000s after decades of overfishing. The species has since rebounded across most of its range, a recovery ...
