Humans are far closer to meerkats and beavers for levels of exclusive mating than we are to most of our primate cousins, according to a new University of Cambridge study that includes a table ranking monogamy rates in various ...
Phys.org / Peculiar supernova SN 2021ukt transitions from Type IIn to Type Ib
Astronomers from the University of California (UC), Berkeley and elsewhere have performed spectroscopic and photometric study of a peculiar supernova designated SN 2021ukt, which underwent a transition from Type IIn to Type ...
Medical Xpress / Integrating methadone treatment into primary care increases guideline-concordant care
Integrating methadone treatment into primary care settings improves adherence to guideline-concordant health care for opioid use disorder (OUD), according to a study published online Dec. 9 in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
Phys.org / Exposing a single active site in nanoclusters boosts catalytic activity for green energy
There is a dire need for selective catalysts that allow us to consistently achieve a desired outcome in a chemical reaction. It is this consistency that allows for more efficient, energy-saving ways of producing fuel. A team ...
Phys.org / Mitochondrial enzyme's atomic-level structure reveals how it processes RNA
Researchers at the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology, Karolinska Institutet have captured the first detailed molecular snapshots of human polynucleotide phosphorylase (hPNPase) in action, revealing how this essential ...
Tech Xplore / Infant-inspired framework helps robots learn to interact with objects
Over the past decades, roboticists have introduced a wide range of advanced systems that can move around in their surroundings and complete various tasks. Most of these robots can effectively collect images and other data ...
Phys.org / Jigsaw puzzles help make mathematics learning more active and fun
Holidays bring celebration, rest and, for many families, long stretches of indoor time. For some, this means tabletop games quickly reappear on kitchen tables. Games provide opportunities for learning mathematics actively.
Medical Xpress / Study shows why mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines can cause myocarditis
Stanford Medicine investigators have unearthed the biological process by which mRNA-based vaccines for COVID-19 can cause heart damage in some young men and adolescents—and they've shown a possible route to reducing its ...
Medical Xpress / FDA approves first stem cell therapy for severe aplastic anemia
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved Omisirge (omidubicel-onlv) as the first hematopoietic stem cell transplant therapy to treat patients with severe aplastic anemia (SAA).
Phys.org / Roman urbanism was bad for health, new study confirms
Analysis of skeletal remains from England before and during Roman occupation confirms theories that the population's health declined under Roman occupation, but only in the urban centers, suggesting pre-Roman traditions continued ...
Phys.org / Shape-shifting cell channel reveals new target for precision drugs
From small ions to large molecules, cellular gates control what can pass in and out of cells. But how one such gate, called pannexin-1 (PANX1), can handle vastly different cargo sizes has remained a long-standing mystery.
Medical Xpress / Breastfeeding while on antidepressants does not affect a child's IQ, long-term study finds
Breastfeeding mothers can feel reassured by new research that has found that taking antidepressant treatment does not negatively impact their baby's brain development.
