Medical Xpress / How changes to proteins can alter drug interactions for new precision therapies
Inside every human cell, proteins are constantly being tagged with small chemical modifications after they're produced. Known as post-translational modifications, or PTMs, these can change how a protein folds, where it travels ...
Medical Xpress / Lithium uncovers fresh Alzheimer's targets beyond Tau
Lithium chloride may affect many cellular level changes in Alzheimer's disease, a new study from the University of Eastern Finland (UEF) shows. The work is published in the journal Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy.
Medical Xpress / Sleep apnea compromises far more than a good night's rest
Annual medical checkups typically cover the basics: diet, exercise and mental state. Surprisingly, many primary care providers fail to ask about one of the fundamental contributors to well-being: sleep.
Tech Xplore / Vanadium batteries could stabilize power grids and help prevent blackouts in Ecuador
The transition toward renewable energy is redefining the operation of power systems worldwide. However, this shift brings a growing technical challenge: the loss of grid stability. Unlike conventional power plants, renewable ...
Phys.org / From atoms to reactors, new modeling approach could sharpen catalyst design
In a recent article, researchers from the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, emphasize the importance of multiscale modeling of catalysis in understanding and developing (electro)chemical processes. Modern computational tools ...
Medical Xpress / Chronic sunlight exposure can disrupt body clocks in skin
Years of chronic exposure of human skin to sunlight strongly disrupts its body-clock rhythm, according to a pioneering study led by University of Manchester, No7 Beauty Company, a member of The Boots Group, and University ...
Phys.org / Data fusion provides a high-definition look at Mars' temperature maps
In-situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) is our best bet for "living off the land" for a future Martian base, but tracking down those resources is no easy task. As of now, we have two options—send a rover to a specific location ...
Phys.org / Study says trees counter half the world's urban heating, but not in the places that need it most
Trees are countering nearly half the urban heating from pavement and buildings in the world's cities, but they're not doing enough cooling in hotter, poorer cities where it's needed the most as the world warms, a new study ...
Medical Xpress / Clinical trials that are actually marketing ploys targeting doctors: How seeding trials put profit over patients
Some clinical trials aren't designed to answer scientific questions. They're designed to market drugs. In our recently published research, my team and I analyzed over 34,000 industry-funded trials and found that hundreds ...
Medical Xpress / Brain barrier protein helps flush excess manganese into blood, mouse study finds
Manganese is not a metal most people think much about. Unlike lead or mercury, it has a benign reputation. Small amounts of manganese power enzymes, metabolize nutrients and keep the brain running smoothly. But it's toxic ...
Medical Xpress / New treatment approach targets a subset of common blood cancer that is more deadly in women than in men
In a finding that challenges decades of assumptions about blood cancer, an international research team has shown for the first time that a specific subtype of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), which is the most common ...
Phys.org / Casimir forces in twisted anisotropic gratings: A path to self-tuning nanophotonic systems
A team of scientists from Skoltech and MIPT has investigated how the Casimir effect can be used to precisely control the angular orientation of nanostructures. The results of the study have been published in the journal Physical ...
