Medical Xpress / Immune cell 'fuel' shortages shape atherosclerosis, scientists reveal
Two complementary studies reveal how an insufficient supply of energy in macrophages, key immune cells in artery walls, drives the progression of atherosclerosis—and how this knowledge could lead to better diagnostics and ...
Medical Xpress / Signature neural patterns may help predict recovery from traumatic brain injury
After traumatic brain injury (TBI), some patients may recover completely, while others retain severe disabilities. Accurately evaluating prognosis is challenging in patients on life-sustaining therapy.
Phys.org / New technique lights up where drugs go in the body, cell by cell
When you take a drug, where in your body does it actually go? For most medications, scientists can make only educated guesses about the answer to this question. Traditional methods can measure the concentration of a drug ...

Christmas means different things to different people. For me, it's an opportunity to eat celebratory foods that aren't available all year round.
Phys.org / Simulations explore Neanderthal and modern human encounters in ancient Europe
Using a specially developed simulation model, researchers at the University of Cologne have traced and analyzed the dynamics of possible encounters between Neanderthals and anatomically modern humans on the Iberian Peninsula ...
Phys.org / Vast freshwater reserves found beneath salinity-stressed coastal Bangladesh
Despite its tropical climate and floodplain location, Bangladesh—one of the world's most densely populated nations—seasonally does not have enough freshwater, especially in coastal areas. Shallow groundwater is often ...
Phys.org / Supermassive black holes show selective feeding habits during galaxy mergers
Black holes are notorious for gobbling up everything that comes their way, but astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have discovered that even supermassive black holes can be picky eaters, ...
Medical Xpress / Iron-snatching compounds found to be effective against parasitic flatworm
A series of compounds that deprive iron essential for a parasitic worm could provide effective new agents for blocking parasite growth, a RIKEN researcher has found. This finding, published in the journal Tropical Medicine ...
Phys.org / Passive adaptation mechanism reveals how cells balance their protein levels
Every cell depends on proteins to function and stay healthy. These proteins are made inside the cell from amino acids, but cannot simply accumulate inside the cell forever. Once they have done their job or become damaged, ...
Medical Xpress / Protein MCL1 links cancer cell survival and energy metabolism
A study by the Mildred Scheel Early Career Center group led by Dr. Mohamed Elgendy at the TUD Faculty of Medicine provides fundamental insights into cancer biology. Published in Nature Communications, the study shows for ...
