Medical Xpress / FDA advisers dismiss safety warnings, back four peptide treatments
A panel of outside advisers to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) voted Thursday to let specialized pharmacies produce and sell four peptide treatments the agency banned three years ago.
Phys.org / Trust among farmers is key to scaling climate-smart innovations
As the climate becomes increasingly variable and extreme events become more frequent, accelerating the use of innovations that can strengthen agricultural resilience has become a priority for agrifood systems. Science has ...
Tech Xplore / AI models' breakout from human control brings a told-you-so moment for technology researchers
It is the kind of development once seen only in science fiction: An artificial intelligence system, trained to probe for digital vulnerabilities, breaks free of human control and acts on its own to hack another company.
Medical Xpress / Overlooked brain protein tied to epilepsy yields first inhibitors in early experiments
Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have uncovered the first high-resolution structure of NBCn2, a brain protein linked to epilepsy, autism spectrum disorder and other neurological conditions, and developed ...
Medical Xpress / Ancient molecule made inside tumors drives immune response, study finds
An ancient molecule that existed long before the circulatory system evolved has been found to support cancer immunotherapy. Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan found that complement C3 protein acts inside tumors to ...
Phys.org / Global map reveals mining's uneven toll on forests and biodiversity
A new study led by Japanese researchers from Tohoku University and the National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES) reveals that some of the minerals most essential for green technologies may have a significant negative ...
Tech Xplore / AI extracts hidden material rules from microscopic data to predict large-scale behavior
Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed artificial intelligence (AI) methods that learn the large-scale behavior of complex materials from microscopic data. By automatically identifying ...
Medical Xpress / A single RSV shot emerges as a promising new shield for infants at risk of severe disease
Viral infections that attack the lungs are among the leading reasons infants are hospitalized. A new treatment may offer protection against these infections that is as effective and safe as existing options but requires far ...
Phys.org / Zebrafish rebuild damaged 'second brain' networks in nine days, offering clues for nerve repair
Why can zebrafish regenerate damaged gut nerves while humans largely cannot? Michigan State University researchers have developed a new research tool that allows them to remove gut neurons in zebrafish and watch them regenerate ...
Phys.org / How insect submariners survive the depths without imploding
Deep-diving insect larvae are challenging a long-held idea about why there are almost no insects in the ocean, thanks to sturdy air sacs. In Lake Malawi in East Africa, billions of lake fly larvae (Chaoborus edulis) make ...
Medical Xpress / Blurred genome boundaries emerge as a new layer of Alzheimer's biology
Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University's School of Computer Science, the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and the University of Washington have shed new light on Alzheimer's disease that could point to new ...
Medical Xpress / Red meat-related gut byproduct tied to higher atrial fibrillation risk
A Cleveland Clinic-led study shows a connection between elevated blood levels of TMAO (trimethylamine N-oxide)—a byproduct of gut bacteria digestion of nutrients found in red meat and other animal products—and a higher risk ...
