Medical Xpress / Multiple types of post-amputation pain revealed, each needing different treatment
Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz have identified a critical gap in how post-amputation pain is evaluated and treated. The study shows that pain after lower limb amputation is not a single uniform condition ...
Phys.org / Environmental sampling finds more poultry viruses than bird swabs in live markets
Scientists at Duke-NUS Medical School have found that viruses circulating in live poultry markets can be detected more effectively by sampling the surrounding environment than by testing individual birds. The study, published ...
Phys.org / ESA's Mars orbiters watch solar superstorm hit the red planet
What happens when a solar superstorm hits Mars? Thanks to the European Space Agency's Mars orbiters, we now know: glitching spacecraft and a supercharged upper atmosphere.
Medical Xpress / Why your gut microbiome and heart may be closer than you think
The gut microbiome plays an important role in many aspects of health, from digestion and immune function to metabolic balance and neurological processes.
Tech Xplore / Breaking down the battery problem: Cheaper, more efficient cathodes could cut costs
Consider the humble rechargeable battery: Many people start their day by unplugging their phone from a charger to check the weather or commute to work, or throw on their favorite podcast. They'll end the day by plugging in ...
Phys.org / Greenland's largest glacier could soon reach a tipping point, scientists say
Greenland's largest glacier, Jakobshavn Glacier, may be edging closer to a critical threshold as meltwater runoff from the Greenland Ice Sheet accelerates in ways not seen in over a century, according to new research published ...
Phys.org / Whole-genome study of koalas shows genetic diversity alone can misread extinction risk
A new study published in Science is challenging long-held assumptions about how we measure genetic risk in endangered species. Researchers analyzed whole genomes from hundreds of koalas, finding that populations previously ...
Medical Xpress / Overcoming ovarian cancer's resistance to immunotherapy
Cells in our immune system are best known for providing security against external invaders such as bacteria and viruses. These immune cells also guard against internal threats, including cancerous tumors. Different forms ...
Phys.org / A new face for 'Little Foot,' the most complete Australopithecus skeleton to date
What did the face of our ancestors look like three million years ago? Our international team has answered this question by virtually reconstructing the facial fragments of Little Foot, the most complete Australopithecus skeleton ...
Medical Xpress / A closer look at the mathematical abilities of autistic people
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by differences in how people learn, communicate and interact with others, as well as restrictive or repetitive behaviors. Many past psychology ...
Phys.org / Scientists clock a driving factor in the evolution of error correction
All complex biological systems—like the DNA, RNA and proteins constantly being copied and built within our cells—are prone to errors. That means as life evolved to be more elaborate, it also had to evolve error-correcting ...
Phys.org / Thermogenetics: How proteins are controllable by heat
Protein activity can be precisely regulated via subtle changes in temperature using heat-sensitive switches. Underlying this capability is a novel modular design strategy developed by researchers at the Institute of Pharmacy ...
