Phys.org / Tendon cells can rebound from stiffness when returned to softer tissue-like surroundings
Researchers at Queen Mary University of London are closer to understanding tendinopathy, a common condition that can cause persistent pain and impaired movement in people and many animals.
Medical Xpress / Italy sees mosquitos spread the West Nile virus farther and longer as Europe warms
Italian health authorities see evidence that rising temperatures and longer warm seasons are helping mosquitoes spread West Nile virus across a wider area, during more months of the year.
Phys.org / European ash pangenome could help researchers breed a generation of trees resistant to ash dieback
In a study published in the journal Nature Communications, researchers from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Forest Research and collaborating organizations present the first-ever European ash (Fraxinus excelsior) pangenome, ...
Phys.org / A new bridge for quantum networks: Physicists convert microwaves to light using 2D magnets
Physicists at The City College of New York have demonstrated a new way to transfer microwave signals onto light using magnetic waves inside a layered semiconductor. The work establishes a materials platform for building interfaces ...
Medical Xpress / Teaching the immune system to control HIV
There is no cure for HIV. While scientists have made considerable progress in controlling the infection, patients still must take daily antiretroviral medication for the rest of their lives. Results from a clinical trial ...
Phys.org / Are bots changing how people talk? Language in the age of AI
A Facebook post about your trip to Peru. An Amazon review of a new toaster oven. An email to the super about the inflatable reindeer blocking the hallway. You phrase and rephrase things all day without thinking that anyone—or ...
Medical Xpress / Ultrasound may offer a noninvasive way to manage deep muscle stiffness
Muscle strain injuries are a common problem in sports, and injuries to the triceps surae, the calf muscle group that includes the gastrocnemius and soleus, can significantly affect athletic performance and return to play. ...
Medical Xpress / REM and deep sleep, not just total sleep time, associated with disease risk
Greater amounts of REM and deep sleep were associated with lower risks of dozens of diseases, and less than 5 hours of total sleep was associated with high disease risks, according to a new study published Sept. 17 in the ...
Medical Xpress / Brain circuit linked to food cravings during pregnancy identified
Why do food cravings become so strong during pregnancy? Researchers at LSU's Pennington Biomedical Research Center, in collaboration with colleagues, have identified a brain mechanism that may help explain how pregnancy changes ...
Tech Xplore / Cost-conscious method helps design automated materials labs before equipment is purchased
A research team from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has developed a new modeling and optimization framework that helps researchers design modularized autonomous experimentation (MAE) platforms ...
Medical Xpress / Chromatin protein DAXX may help preserve brain immune cells during aging
As humans get older, their brains undergo various changes that can affect mental functions. The cells known to be affected by aging include microglia, the primary immune cells in the brain and spinal cord, which help eliminate ...
Phys.org / Using sound waves to turn iron and water into magnetic nanoparticles
Iron rusts on its own, slowly, over months or years. Now, researchers at Tohoku University have found a way to compress the process of metal reacting with water to form oxide, taking mere hours and using nothing more than ...
