Phys.org / One-step rapid syphilis test uses layered nanoparticles to detect infection earlier
Penicillin has cured syphilis cases since 1943, but symptoms of the sexually transmitted infection, known as "the great imitator," mimic many other diseases and can come and go without treatment while the infection keeps ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers restore neuron function in mice with Alzheimer's disease
Researchers were able to restore the function of neurons linked to cognitive function and information processing in mice that mimic key features of Alzheimer's disease, showing early promise for the development of a similar ...
Phys.org / Even or odd numbers: A single molecule makes all the difference in the quantum world
The researchers in the Quantum Detection Microscopy group at CIC nanoGUNE, in collaboration with chemists at CiQUS of the University of Santiago de Compostela, have demonstrated that adding or removing a single molecule from ...
Tech Xplore / Can AI help discover new food physics? Researchers pair AI with human expertise
Information about food properties that determine quality, safety and sensory characteristics is critical for food product development and processing design, but it is spread across thousands of scientific papers written over ...
Medical Xpress / Triple-action drug retatrutide delivers major weight loss for people with diabetes, Phase III trial finds
A recent Phase III clinical trial, TRIUMPH-2, evaluated the efficacy and safety of retatrutide, a triple receptor agonist and experimental once-weekly injection being developed to treat obesity and type 2 diabetes. What sets ...
Phys.org / Drowned 5,000-year-old forests reborn as thriving peat reefs and biodiversity hotspots off Mozambique
Researchers from the Bazaruto Center for Scientific Studies (BCSS) Ocean Observatory have documented ancient forests that grew on the Mozambican coast thousands of years ago and have been found beneath the sea, where they ...
Phys.org / The same immune cells play opposing roles in tissue regeneration's balancing act
In a study of fingertip regeneration, a team led by JAX senior research scientist James Godwin found that some immune cells in mice can attack and kill cells needed to rebuild bone, while a subset of those same immune cells ...
Phys.org / 'Lost' Iron Age cemetery reanalyzed more than 70 years after its finds went missing
In 1955, workers in a chalk quarry in Highsted, near Sittingbourne, were working when a human skull came tumbling down the bank at the edge of a pit. It would be the first of some 26 burials, all belonging to an ancient cemetery.
Medical Xpress / The receptor behind chili-pepper burn may hold clues to pain treatments
Scientists have long known that capsaicin, the ingredient that makes chili peppers feel hot and is used in some pain-relief creams, works by activating a pain-sensing receptor known as TRPV1.
Phys.org / Global ice-cliff survey tests disputed theory behind projections of accelerated sea level rise
A new study led by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) provides the most comprehensive observational analysis yet of the towering ice cliffs that fringe Earth's ice sheets, giving scientists new evidence to evaluate ...
Phys.org / White Sands footprints suggest humans experienced abrupt environmental shifts during the last ice age
Expanded excavations at White Sands National Park in New Mexico have provided researchers an opportunity to refine the age of the oldest human footprints in North America and establish a deeper understanding of the landscape ...
Phys.org / Fossil footprints reveal how dinosaur ancestors gradually shifted from sprawling to upright walking
A research team led by Dr. Lorenzo Marchetti of the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin described the earliest archosauriform footprints (Pachychirotherium gardenaensis) from the GEOPARC Bletterbach—UNESCO World Heritage Dolomites, ...
