Medical Xpress / Protein ubiquilin-2 found to promote Parkinson's-linked α-synuclein aggregation
Parkinson's disease (PD) is an age-related, progressive neurodegenerative disorder. The hallmark of PD pathogenesis is the Lewy bodies (LBs) that accumulate in neurons in the substantia nigra region of the brain, damaging ...
Medical Xpress / Radiofrequency coagulation effective for recurrent anterior epistaxis
Radiofrequency coagulation (RFC) is safe and effective for bilateral recurrent anterior epistaxis (RAE) in children with allergic rhinitis, according to a study published online Nov. 19 in the Journal of Otolaryngology-Head ...
Medical Xpress / Strategies to keep drug discovery research alive in the US despite funding cuts
In the face of US federal funding cuts, biomedical researchers propose strategies for continued progress in drug discovery. Publishing in Trends in Pharmacological Sciences, their recommendations include harnessing AI and ...
Medical Xpress / B.C. kindergarteners' health declines post-COVID, research shows
More than one in three kindergarten children in B.C. are entering school with challenges in one or more core areas of development—a rate higher than ever recorded in the province, according to new research from the Human ...
Phys.org / Is the universe Infinite?
The surface of Earth is finite. We can measure it. If it was expanding, then its size would grow with time. And once again, good ol' Earth helps us understand what the universe might be doing beyond our observable horizon.
Tech Xplore / UAV-based system could predict sag and environmental risks for power transmission lines
Power transmission lines (TLs) are ubiquitous, spanning diverse landscapes, including forests, agricultural regions, as well as mountains. Therefore, it is crucial to develop novel technologies to monitor their condition ...
Phys.org / Examining why some species developed consciousness while others remained non-conscious
What is the evolutionary advantage of our consciousness? And what can we learn about this from observing birds? Researchers at Ruhr University Bochum published two articles on this topic.
Phys.org / Scientists warn mountain climate change is accelerating faster than predicted, putting billions of people at risk
Mountains worldwide are experiencing climate change more intensely than lowland areas, with potentially devastating consequences for billions of people who live in and/or depend on these regions, according to a major global ...
Phys.org / Experimental proof shows quantum world is even stranger than previously thought
The quantum world is famously weird—a single particle can be in two places at once, its properties are undefined until they are measured, and the very act of measuring a quantum system changes everything. But according ...
Tech Xplore / How can SMEs drive a greener and more inclusive Europe?
Despite what some believe, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can play a key role in the digital, green and social transition taking place in the 21st century. However, SMEs cannot expect real change to come from adopting ...
Phys.org / Astronomers investigate nearby pulsar with radio telescopes
Using the Large Phased Array (LPA) and the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST), astronomers from Russia and China have observed a nearby pulsar designated PSR J1951+2837. The new observations, presented ...
Phys.org / Consciousness as the foundation: New theory addresses nature of reality
Consciousness is fundamental; only thereafter do time, space and matter arise. This is the starting point for a new theoretical model of the nature of reality, presented by Maria Strømme, Professor of Materials Science at ...
