Medical Xpress / Two key enzymes drive fat loss while preserving muscle: New pathway may lead to safer obesity treatments
A team of scientists has uncovered a critical mechanism that could pave the way for safer and more effective obesity treatments. The findings, published in Nature Communications, shed light on how leptin, a hormone that regulates ...
Phys.org / Self-assembling 'bundlemers' could reshape next-generation protein-based materials
Proteins are the building blocks of life. These biomolecules comprise chains of amino acids that fold into precise shapes to perform specific jobs in nature. But these elegant structures form only under narrow pH and temperature ...
Medical Xpress / Understanding the path from genetic changes to Parkinson's disease opens possibilities for early diagnosis
A team led by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and the Duncan Neurological Research Institute (Duncan NRI) at Texas Children's Hospital has uncovered a chain of events that connects genetic alterations, disruptions ...
Tech Xplore / Interface engineering lifts perovskite solar cell performance to 26.19% efficiency
Researchers from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with international partners, have engineered a thin two-dimensional perovskite phase ...
Medical Xpress / AI model reads brain MRIs in seconds, hitting up to 97.5% accuracy
An AI-powered model developed at the University of Michigan can read a brain MRI and diagnose a person in seconds, a study suggests. The model detected neurological conditions with up to 97.5% accuracy and predicted how urgently ...
Medical Xpress / Sleep disruption damages gut's self-repair ability via stress signals from brain: A biological chain reaction
Chronic sleep disruption doesn't just leave people tired and irritable. It may quietly undermine the gut's ability to repair itself, increasing vulnerability to serious digestive diseases. A new study from the University ...
Medical Xpress / Maternal perinatal depression may increase the risk of autistic-related traits in girls
A research team from the Department of Psychiatry at Tohoku University, led by Dr. Zhiqian Yu and Professor Hiroaki Tomita, has uncovered compelling evidence that maternal perinatal depression—psychological distress occurring ...
Medical Xpress / Preclinical study successfully reverses loss of blood flow to brain, an early sign of Alzheimer's disease
Supriya Chakraborty might have been studying insects in a lab had it not been for an immunology college instructor in India who taught him about the superheroes inside him—immune cells that wage a battle against bacteria, ...
Phys.org / Three-component catalyst boosts ammonia from nitrate electrolysis by more than 50%
A research team led by Dr. Dandan Gao from the Department of Chemistry at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) has developed a new method for the sustainable production of ammonia and formic acid. Ammonia is indispensable ...
Phys.org / Did trees in the Dolomites anticipate a solar eclipse? Not quite, say researchers
Around 14 hours before a partial solar eclipse passed over the Dolomites in Northern Italy, a group of spruce trees showed a sudden, synchronized increase in electrical activity. Previous research by Alessandro Chiolerio ...
Phys.org / Concert formats measurably change audience experience, classical music study finds
Orchestras and festival organizers continually develop and experiment with new concert formats for classical music. But do these formats actually have an impact on audiences? A research team led by the Max Planck Institute ...
Phys.org / The internet names a new deep-sea species of chiton
The Senckenberg Ocean Species Alliance (SOSA), in partnership with the scientific publisher Pensoft Publishers and science YouTuber Ze Frank, have let the internet name a newly discovered deep‑sea chiton (a type of marine ...
