Medical Xpress / Genes within uterine gland cells shed light on potential causes of infertility
Even in the best-case scenario, when fertility clinics transfer chromosomally normal embryos into a would-be mother's uterus, the procedure only leads to a live birth half of the time. Some embryo transfers result in a pregnancy, ...
Phys.org / Parvovirus infection modulates nucleolar organization and function
Research at the University of Jyväskylä (Finland) reveals that autonomous parvoviruses, such as canine parvovirus, are highly capable of affecting the internal balance of the nucleolus. The results provide new basic information ...
Medical Xpress / Report reveals a significant global palliative care gap among children
Nearly all the world's 10.6 million children experiencing serious health-related suffering (SHS) live in low- and middle-income countries with little to no access to palliative care or specialized care for their illness, ...
Phys.org / The radical propulsion needed to catch the solar gravitational lens
Sending a mission to the solar gravitational lens (SGL) is the most effective way of actually directly imaging a potentially habitable planet, as well as its atmosphere, and even possibly some of its cities. But, the SGL ...
Medical Xpress / Combining AI with optical coherence tomography shows potential for detecting lipid-rich plaques in coronary arteries
Researchers have developed a new artificial intelligence-based approach for detecting fatty deposits inside coronary arteries using optical coherence tomography (OCT) images. Because these lipid-rich plaques are strongly ...
Medical Xpress / Birth dose of hepatitis B vaccination is safe and effective, study finds
Hepatitis B vaccination at birth is safe and effective compared with a delayed first dose, according to research published online Feb. 5 in Pediatrics.

Free-floating planets, or as they are more commonly known, rogue planets, wander interstellar space completely alone. Saying there might be a lot of them is a bit of an understatement. Recent estimates put the number of rogue ...
Medical Xpress / Study pairs key air pollutants with home addresses to track progression of lost mobility through disability
A University of Michigan study has taken a fine-grained, long-term look at residential-area air pollution and how it relates to deteriorating mobility—and hindered recovery—for older Americans. The paper is published ...
Medical Xpress / Rewards vs. goals: How a brain signal used to study depression tells us about our immediate desires
