Phys.org / ALMA explores giant molecular clouds in nearby galaxy NGC 1387
An international team of astronomers has employed the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) to investigate molecular gas in a nearby galaxy known as NGC 1387. Results of the observational campaign, published ...
Medical Xpress / Blood test boosts Alzheimer's diagnosis accuracy to 94.5%, clinical study shows
A protein lurking around in the blood can help with the accurate diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. In a recent study, researchers from Spain investigated how blood-based biomarkers, such as a protein called p-tau217, affect ...
Phys.org / Fossil amber reveals the secret lives of Cretaceous ants
Tiny insects trapped in amber could tell us a great deal about their roles in past ecosystems: pollinators, parasites, predators, and prey. But how many of the insects preserved alongside each other reflect interactions during ...
Phys.org / Molecular map reveals Andes hantavirus entry protein at the nanoscale
Hantaviruses, transmitted from rodents to people, have a death rate approaching 40%. They're found around the world, and because there are no approved vaccines or treatments, they're among the pathogens of highest concern ...
Medical Xpress / Habit-like repetition influences decisions more than previously thought, large-scale study finds
Why do people often make decisions in the same pattern and choose the tried and tested, even when there are apparently better alternatives? A research team led by Stefan Kiebel, Professor of Cognitive Computational Neuroscience ...
Medical Xpress / How a tick could help prevent diseases like MS and cancer
A team from the Monash University Biomedicine Discovery Institute has identified a tick-derived evasin that can bind to two major classes of chemokines, a discovery that is important for the development of therapeutics targeting ...
Phys.org / Mitochondria can reshape lipid storage in cells by repurposing a protein-insertion complex
A recent study by the University of Bonn and University Hospital Bonn and the University of Freiburg shows that the mitochondria appear to be able to influence the number of lipid droplets in the cell using a mechanism that ...
