Phys.org / Improving astronaut fitness for deep space missions
As we prepare for missions beyond Earth orbit, one crucial challenge remains: keeping astronauts healthy in microgravity. Without daily exercise, their muscles, bones and cardiovascular systems weaken, which could impact ...
Phys.org / Artificially alive: How AI is bringing the dead back and what that means for the living
A new study shows that generative AI is already being used to "bring back" the dead, as entertainment icons, as political witnesses, and as everyday companions for grieving families. Tracing cases of AI "resurrections," the ...
Medical Xpress / Pediatricians offer advice on dealing with warts
Warts are small, firm bumps on the skin caused by viruses from the human papillomavirus (HPV) family. Warts are common among school-aged children but can affect people of any age.
Medical Xpress / Not all sitting is the same when it comes to brain health
Passive activities such as watching television have been linked to worse memory and cognitive skills, while 'active sitting' like playing cards or reading correlate with better brain health, researchers have found.
Phys.org / Stem cell subpopulation found to be essential for bone fracture repair
In a study published in Cell Research, researchers have identified a fibrous-layer resident subpopulation of P-SSCs labeled by Angptl7. They found that these cells are crucial for bone fracture repair by mediating endochondral ...
Medical Xpress / Rapid concussion detection using saliva
Imagine a simple saliva test that makes concussion screening faster and more objective than ever before. Thanks to neurotechnology being developed and piloted by Andrew Cordssen-David (BSc '22, MBET '23), co-founder and CEO ...
Phys.org / Rare plant thought extinct rediscovered by citizen scientist in remote Australia
Citizen science platforms, including iNaturalist, are leading to major new discoveries and are becoming crucial to the work of scientists. How do we make them even better?
Medical Xpress / AI model detects prediabetes using ECG data without need for blood tests
DiaCardia, a novel artificial intelligence model that can accurately identify individuals with prediabetes using either 12-lead or single-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) data, has been developed. This breakthrough holds promise ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers develop biodegradable, self-powered electrical stimulator for muscle repair
Severe skeletal muscle injury, especially volumetric muscle loss, remains difficult to treat because effective regeneration requires safe, effective, and sustained intervention. Addressing this long-standing challenge, a ...
Medical Xpress / 58% of patients affected by 2022 mpox outbreak report lasting physical symptoms
A cohort study of over 300 adults either diagnosed with mpox between May 2022 to January 2023 (post-MPX) or who were at risk but never infected (no-MPX) found that more than half of those diagnosed with mpox during the 2022 ...
Medical Xpress / Most elderly cancer patients receive inappropriate drugs until final months, study finds
Analysis of the medical records of 1,269 elderly patients with advanced cancer by researchers at the University of Tsukuba has found that more than 70% were prescribed potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) and that ...
Tech Xplore / A simple coating that makes high-energy Li-ion batteries last longer
Silicon is an attractive negative electrode (anode) material for future lithium-ion batteries because it can store much more energy than the graphite used today. However, silicon expands and shrinks dramatically during charging ...
