Tech Xplore / Passengers' brain signals may help self-driving cars make safer choices
Cars from companies like Tesla already promise hands-free driving, but recent crashes show that today's self-driving systems can still struggle in risky, fast-changing situations.
Medical Xpress / Researchers use virtual reality to reduce anxiety about death
Texas A&M University researchers have found that a brief virtual reality (VR) simulation of a near-death experience can sharply reduce people's anxiety about death. In a small pilot study of about 60 young adults, participants ...
Phys.org / Study uncovers how calcium controls insulin quality in the endoplasmic reticulum
Calcium (Ca2+) drives many cellular functions, though the way it controls quality of proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), a cellular organelle that synthesizes and transports proteins, has not been elucidated. This ...
Medical Xpress / 'Attentional bias' reveals deep connection between numbers and space in the brain
Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have studied the relationship between numerical information in our vision, and how it affects our perception of space.
Medical Xpress / Everyday conversations can delay eye movements, essential for safe driving
Talking while driving is widely recognized as a major source of distraction, but the specific ways conversation interferes with the earliest stages of visual processing have remained largely unclear. While previous research ...

Gestational diabetes rose every single year in the U.S. from 2016 through 2024, according to a new Northwestern Medicine analysis of more than 12 million U.S. births. The condition, which raises health risks for both mother ...
Medical Xpress / Machine learning identifies statin and phenothiazine combo for neuroblastoma treatment
Using machine learning and a large volume of data on genes and existing drugs, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have identified a combination of statins and phenothiazines that is particularly promising in the treatment ...
Medical Xpress / Breast cancer drug boosts leukemia treatment: Unexpected duo shows promise in overcoming resistance
A research team at Oregon Health & Science University has discovered a promising new drug combination that may help people with acute myeloid leukemia overcome resistance to one of the most common frontline therapies.
Medical Xpress / B cells temporarily regain stem-like flexibility, increasing risk of lymphoma formation
Immune cells called B cells make antibodies that fight off invading bacteria, viruses and other foreign substances. During their preparation for this battle, B cells transiently revert to a more flexible (plastic) stem-cell-like ...
Phys.org / Novel model to reveal deep-sea black coral symbiotic system
A research team has achieved a significant breakthrough in understanding the adaptive strategies of the deep-sea black coral Bathypathes pseudoalternata (B. pseudoalternata) and its symbiotic microbiome. The study has been ...
Medical Xpress / AI-powered knowledge graph links heart images to genes and drug predictions
Knowledge graphs are a powerful tool for bringing together information from biological databases and linking what is already known about genes, diseases, treatments, molecular pathways and symptoms in a structured network. ...
Medical Xpress / Blocking a key gene regulator may restore immune response in cancer therapy
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized cancer therapy by harnessing the body's immune system to target tumors. Despite their initial clinical success, many patients eventually experience diminished therapeutic ...
