Medical Xpress / Oral therapy protected mice from lethal radiation while sparing cancer treatment
Researchers at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC have developed an experimental oral therapy that protected mice from otherwise harmful radiation exposure while preserving radiation's ability to destroy cancer ...
Tech Xplore / AI could help design cities, but planners need safeguards
AI is showing up in nearly every aspect of daily life—from internet searches to visits to the doctor's office. It could one day even play a role in the street layout in front of your apartment building.
Medical Xpress / Microglia caught eating living motor neurons in ALS mice via unexpected immune pathway
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease that, according to the CDC, currently affects around 35,000 Americans—with 5,000 more diagnosed each year. Risk climbs with age, and treatments only slow ...
Medical Xpress / Parkinson's-linked gene holds clues to battling deadly bacterial infections
Innovative research led by a University of Ottawa Faculty of Medicine professor whose lab focuses on mechanisms that maintain a healthy immune system has discovered that a gene best known for increasing the risk of Parkinson's ...
Phys.org / North Sea wind farm expansion may shift rain offshore, simulations suggest
Offshore wind farms are a key pillar of the energy transition. The European Union plans to expand offshore wind capacity in the North Sea by 2050. A new study by the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon indicates that a very extensive ...
Phys.org / Alternative mRNA modification lets ribosomes move nearly twice as fast
In a new study, scientists from Johns Hopkins Medicine report that an experimental mRNA-based platform has the potential to help deliver next-generation mRNA therapeutics, including vaccines to fight infectious diseases, ...
Phys.org / Honeybees struggle to gather nectar in August, direct measurements reveal
Letting late-summer weeds grow could help honeybees when they find it most challenging to gather nectar, according to new research published in the journal, Functional Ecology.
Phys.org / Thinner lenses, brighter colors: Metalens research clears two hurdles for AR and VR glasses
AR and VR glasses once seen only in science fiction may soon be realized not as bulky stacks of lenses but as a single eyeglass-like optical element. That future is now closer to reality.
Tech Xplore / Genetic algorithms test cybersecurity defenses against adaptive malware
The COVID-19 pandemic changed the way many people approached their work across the globe. For Carnegie Mellon University Africa's Jema Ndibwile, it changed the way he viewed a completely different type of virus: a computer ...
Phys.org / Strain flips Hall signal in altermagnetic manganese telluride, suggesting a path to practical spintronics
Time-reversal symmetry is an exotic behavior found in systems whose internal physics looks different when running forward versus backward in time. For some time, physicists have searched for this behavior in systems with ...
Phys.org / Rethinking how we name and classify our human ancestors following recent evolutionary discoveries
Recent advances in our understanding of human evolution challenge the way we currently name and classify our ancestors, according to new research from Monash University. The study, published in the American Journal of Biological ...
Tech Xplore / When the algorithm determines wages
What happens when companies on digital labor platforms no longer decide for themselves how much to pay their workers, but leave this to learning algorithms? Researchers at TU Darmstadt, Bielefeld University and the Université ...
