Medical Xpress / Scientists uncover how the intestine balances cell growth and maintenance
A new preclinical study from Weill Cornell Medicine found that the protein caspase-5 (CASP5), long thought to be a foot soldier in the body's defense against bacterial infection, does not actually help clear invaders the ...
Medical Xpress / In epilepsy, poor sleep is associated with dementia
For people with epilepsy, getting poor sleep was associated with a higher risk of dementia compared to people without epilepsy, according to a study published in Neurology. In addition, getting optimal sleep, six to eight ...
Phys.org / Understanding incel culture, and how schools can address it
Incels—involuntary celibates—believe they have been unconditionally excluded from the dating market and are doomed to remain virgins. This has negative implications for their mood and self-esteem, as well as the women and ...
Phys.org / Catalyst reveals temperature-driven shape shifts behind methanol production efficiency
With the aim to precisely understand its function, researchers from the Inorganic Chemistry Department and Interface Science Department of the Fritz Haber Institute, together with colleagues from the Max Planck Institute ...
Medical Xpress / A hidden DNA region helps drive frailty, exposing brain and immune links that reshape aging risk
Researchers at McMaster University have identified, for the first time, a novel region of DNA and two associated genes connected to frailty, offering neurological and immune-related insights that might help explain why some ...
Phys.org / Microbes contribute a surprisingly large array of proteins in fermented foods
A new North Carolina State University study examining the proteins found in fermented foods like yogurt, cheese and bread found that a surprisingly large number, and percentage, of microbial proteins contribute to their overall ...
Medical Xpress / Targeted therapy to manage kidney complications may enable continuation of lifesaving immunotherapy
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have transformed treatment for many types of cancer. In some patients, however, ICIs are associated with immune-related complications that can affect the kidneys. These complications sometimes ...
Phys.org / New study quantifies lake CO₂ emissions and their rising trend in China
Lakes are often described as "hotspots" in the global carbon cycle, yet quantifying their "breath"—the exchange of carbon dioxide (CO2) between water and the atmosphere—has long been notoriously difficult due to extreme variability ...
Phys.org / Coral reefs are secretly connected across vast oceans—and that's crucial for their survival
Lord Howe Island lies in the middle of the ocean, about 700 kilometers northeast of Sydney. It's covered in lush forest and fringed by the world's most southerly coral reef ecosystem.
Phys.org / Assessing the impact of golf courses on water scarcity in the Colorado River Basin
In 2023, University of Delaware doctoral candidate Mehrnaz Haghdadi and doctoral student Nora Lucas headed to the Colorado River Basin to conduct fieldwork for Haghdadi's research focused on indigenous water sovereignty.
Medical Xpress / PET biomarker outperforms established risk score in predicting survival for large B-cell lymphoma patients
Metabolic tumor volume—a biomarker derived from PET imaging—can more accurately predict progression-free survival for large B-cell lymphoma patients than the widely used International Prognostic Index. By identifying patients ...
Medical Xpress / New glioblastoma clue could lead to therapies that weaken tumors and boost immune memory
A team of researchers from Brown University Health and Brown University has uncovered an important clue in the fight against glioblastoma, the most common and aggressive form of brain cancer in adults.
