Medical Xpress / New possible treatment pathway for Shank3-related autism discovered
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by differences in communication, behavior and the processing of sensory information. Past research has shown that some individuals diagnosed with ...
Tech Xplore / High-flying tech hits potholes in India's Silicon Valley
In India's tech capital Bengaluru, the morning "rush hour" lasts so long it devours half the workday, throttling productivity in a city often viewed as the poster child of a booming economy.
Medical Xpress / Frailty in young heart attack patients linked to higher risk of early death
Researchers have uncovered a major blind spot in the way doctors assess future health risk in young adults who suffer a heart attack.
Phys.org / The ingenuity of white oval squid camouflage brought to light
White oval squid (Sepioteuthis lessoniana sp. 2), known locally as shiro-ika, are medium-sized squids naturally distributed in the Indian and western Pacific oceans, flittering in and out of a wide range of different habitats—from ...
Phys.org / Growing human organs for medical implants: New method gives human stem cells an edge in chimeric embryos
Scientists have discovered a method of helping human stem cells thrive in an animal embryo—a key development in efforts to grow human organs in animals for medical transplants.
Phys.org / New deep-learning tool can tell if salmon is wild or farmed
A paper published in Biology Methods and Protocols, finds that it is now possible to distinguish wild from farmed salmon using deep learning, potentially greatly improving strategies for environmental protection. The paper ...
Medical Xpress / A simple neck scan could detect men at high risk of heart failure
A simple neck scan can identify men with double the risk of heart failure, according to research led by University College London.
Phys.org / Anomalous electronic state opens pathway to room-temperature superconductivity
Superconductive materials can conduct electricity with no resistance, but typically only at very low temperatures. Realizing superconductivity at room temperature could enable advanced, energy-efficient electronics and other ...
Medical Xpress / Daily coffee drinking may slow biological aging of people with major mental illness
Drinking a maximum of 3–4 cups of coffee a day may slow the "biological" aging of people with severe mental illness, by lengthening their telomeres—indicators of cellular aging—and giving them the equivalent of 5 extra ...
Medical Xpress / Pesticides and other common chemical pollutants are toxic to 'good' gut bacteria, lab-based screening indicates
A large-scale laboratory screening of human-made chemicals has identified 168 chemicals that are toxic to bacteria found in the healthy human gut. These chemicals stifle the growth of gut bacteria thought to be vital for ...
Medical Xpress / Metabolic roots of memory loss: Early obesity and low choline levels linked to brain inflammation risk
For decades, scientists have known that what harms the body often harms the brain. Conditions such as obesity, high blood pressure and insulin resistance strain the body's vascular and metabolic systems. Over time, that stress ...
Tech Xplore / Programmable metamaterial can morph into more configurations than there are atoms in the universe
The Wave Engineering for eXtreme and Intelligent maTErials (We-Xite) lab, led by engineering assistant professor Osama R. Bilal, has developed a reconfigurable metamaterial that can control sound waves—bending them, dampening ...
