Medical Xpress / Anemia in adults 60 and older linked to 66% higher dementia risk
A new study has found that the effects of anemia—a condition caused by a lack of hemoglobin needed to carry oxygen to organs and tissues—may stretch beyond fatigue, shortness of breath, and pale skin. They reach into the ...
Medical Xpress / Phage therapy case reveals hidden antibodies can block treatment of drug-resistant infections
A new treatment for patients with life-threatening infectious diseases is being pioneered in Melbourne by researchers at The Alfred and Monash University. VICPhage, a clinical partnership between The Alfred and Monash, is ...
Phys.org / From the Pampas to Patagonia, DNA reveals South America's human history
A new genetic study shows that cultural diversity in the so-called Southern Cone—the roughly triangular southernmost part of South America—was strongly influenced by extensive human migration. An international research team ...
Medical Xpress / Next-generation KRAS G12C inhibitor elisrasib elicited promising response rates in patients with advanced lung cancer
Treatment with the investigational next-generation KRAS-G12C inhibitor elisrasib led to clinical benefit in patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors harbored a KRAS G12C ...
Phys.org / Promising H5N1 vaccine protects dairy calves and mice against severe disease
Researchers at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln have developed a vaccine approach that shows promise in protecting against highly pathogenic bird flu, demonstrating strong efficacy in both mice and cattle. Avian influenza ...
Phys.org / Nuclear war at Ukraine-Russia border could trigger years of global climate disruption and radioactive fallout
Geopolitical tensions in Eastern Europe underscore the urgency of addressing the climate and radiological consequences of a regional nuclear conflict. Even a small-scale nuclear conflict at the Ukraine–Russia border could ...
Phys.org / New bioreactor turns stem cells into an immune-cell factory, producing 40 million human macrophages per week
Researchers at Hannover Medical School (MHH) have developed a method for the efficient production of human immune cells, such as macrophages, in medium-sized bioreactors. These immune cells can be derived from induced pluripotent ...
Phys.org / A long-sought quantum computing milestone arrives as fermionic atom gates top 99% accuracy
Two independent research teams have each demonstrated collisional quantum gates using fermionic atoms: a long-sought milestone in quantum computing where logic operations are performed through the direct physical overlap ...
Phys.org / Catalysis App: Structured research data for developing sustainable catalysts
Catalysis—the reduction of activation energy in a chemical reaction by a catalyst—plays a key role in the chemical industry, as well as in the development of sustainable technologies essential for achieving a low-carbon economy. ...
Phys.org / Atlantic current shows two-decade decline across four deep-ocean monitoring sites
A paper published in the journal Science Advances is adding to the growing body of research showing that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is weakening. In this new study, instead of relying mainly on ...
Phys.org / Inside the skull of a Devonian fish from Gondwana, revealed by neutron imaging
Flinders University researchers have taken a revealing look inside the head of one of the first animals to crawl from the water to live on land more than 380 million years ago. Using high-tech neutron imaging, they scanned ...
Tech Xplore / Bubble trouble: Hydrogen research highlights outsized impacts of tiny bubbles in water electrolysis
Hydrogen is often described as the fuel of the future—a clean, energy-dense way to store renewable power and decarbonize industries from steelmaking to shipping. But inside the devices that produce it, a surprisingly small ...
