Phys.org / AI tool could help veterinarians track heart disease more precisely
For dogs with heart disease, a fraction of a centimeter can make a life-changing difference. Veterinarians often rely on chest radiographs to monitor subtle changes in heart size that help determine when treatment should ...
Tech Xplore / Extending AI architectures to address continuous scientific problems
Artificial intelligence is proving to be transformative in its ability to work with language and images. Now, with a growing push to apply AI to scientific discovery, Caltech's Anima Anandkumar says there is a crucial ingredient ...
Medical Xpress / Cancer protein p53 observed in action reveals more order than expected
Cancer occurs when cells divide uncontrollably and displace healthy cells. Tumor suppressors provide an important defense against this. As molecular growth inhibitors, they prevent healthy cells from becoming cancerous. A ...
Medical Xpress / Sweat sensor enables continuous noninvasive measurement of cholesterol
If you see a doctor regularly, chances are you have had a lipid panel ordered and your blood drawn at a lab. The results told your physician your levels of cholesterol and triglycerides, factors that play a role in diagnosing ...
Phys.org / Microbes turn CO₂ into protein and vitamin B9 at commercially viable prices
Researchers are developing biotechnological processes that enable microbes to produce proteins and vitamins for human consumption using basic chemical ingredients, such as carbon dioxide, hydrogen and oxygen—entirely bypassing ...
Phys.org / Stellar stream beyond Milky Way offers new tool to map dark matter
In the image above, a faint trail of stars can be seen stretching across the galaxy. These structures, known as globular cluster stellar streams, are coherent stellar structures that retain a record of their dynamical history ...
Phys.org / Claim that science is becoming less disruptive challenged after years-long publication delay
A widely cited Nature cover article from 2023 claimed that scientific innovation has significantly declined in recent decades. This finding was based on a citation analysis of large sets of metadata concerning scientific ...
Phys.org / Genetic switch could help tomatoes produce fruit in cold weather
Every tomato begins with a flower. But before a fruit can grow, an intricate sequence of events must happen in perfect order. The flower's male and female organs must develop together, pollen must be released at exactly the ...
Phys.org / Single synthetic peptide forms electrically polarized, self-healing hydrogel
Researchers from the RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science (CSRS) and RIKEN Pioneering Research Institute (PRI) in Japan, together with collaborators from the University of Münster, Germany, have developed a new hydrogel ...
Medical Xpress / Finding a tumor's soft spot to power-up immunotherapy
Researchers at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering and Keck School of Medicine of USC have engineered a genetic tool that addresses one of the most persistent obstacles in cancer immunotherapy: the physical softness of ...
Phys.org / History, not age, determines the genomic importance of ancient trees
Ancient trees—those that are remarkably old for their species—are declining worldwide, raising concerns about the loss of the ecological and evolutionary history they represent. Their exceptional longevity has long encouraged ...
Medical Xpress / Estrogen-only hormone therapy associated with lower risk of dementia
Use of hormone therapy later in life was associated with a lower risk of developing dementia, according to a study published in Neurology.
