Tech Xplore / A brain-like chip interprets neural network connectivity in real time
The ability to analyze the brain's neural connectivity is emerging as a key foundation for brain-computer interface (BCI) technologies, such as controlling artificial limbs and enhancing human intelligence. To make these ...
Medical Xpress / Marine bacteria show potent antitumor effects against colorectal cancer
A research team led by Professor Eijiro Miyako at the Graduate School of Advanced Science and Technology, Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST), has discovered that the marine bacterium Photobacterium ...
Medical Xpress / Depression tied to immune system imbalance, not just brain chemistry
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is characterized by a lowered mood and loss of interest, contributing not only to difficulties in academic and professional life but also as a major cause of suicide in South Korea. However, ...
Phys.org / Discovery of rare protist reveals previously unknown branch of eukaryotic tree of life
A research team from the Faculty of Science, Charles University in Prague has discovered Solarion arienae, an extremely rare and morphologically unique unicellular eukaryote that sheds new light on early eukaryotic evolution.
Medical Xpress / Targeting brain immune cells could restore Alzheimer's-related lipid imbalance, research shows
More than a century ago, Alois Alzheimer noted unusual changes in brain fats, which he described as "lipoid granules," along with the buildup of amyloid‐beta (amyloid) plaques and tau protein tangles. These observations ...
Phys.org / The Batman effect: The mere sight of the 'superhero' can make us more altruistic
If "Batman" appears on the scene, we immediately become more altruistic: in fact, research conducted by psychologists from the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Milan, shows that the sudden appearance of something unexpected—Batman—disrupts ...
Medical Xpress / Rare mutation may predict strong immunotherapy response in colorectal cancer
A new study led by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center shows that a specific subset of mutations in the POLE gene is strongly associated with durable responses to immunotherapy in patients with ...
Phys.org / A new type of lion roar could help protect the iconic big cats
A new study has found African lions produce not one, but two distinct types of roars—a discovery set to transform wildlife monitoring and conservation efforts.
Phys.org / Seeing the hidden microbial world beneath our feet—from the sky
A new study by Dr. Angela Harris from The University of Manchester and Professor Richard Bardgett from Lancaster University has revealed that scientists can now detect the hidden world of microbes living in the soil—from ...
Medical Xpress / Reducing inflammation may protect against early age-related macular degeneration-like vision loss
University of Minnesota Medical School researchers have shown that reducing chronic inflammation can significantly protect against age-related macular degeneration (AMD)-like pathology in preclinical models. The findings ...
Phys.org / Scientist captures tiny particles for clues on what sparks lightning
Using lasers as tweezers to understand cloud electrification might sound like science fiction, but at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) it is a reality. By trapping and charging micron-sized particles ...
Phys.org / Want to make new friends? Take a lesson from these birds
Making new friends has its challenges, even for birds. Researchers at the University of Cincinnati found that monk parakeets introduced to new birds will "test the waters" with potential friends to avoid increasingly dangerous ...
