Phys.org / Crosstalk inside cells helps pathogens evade drugs, study finds
Biologists have uncovered a new mode of communication inside cells that helps bacterial pathogens learn how to evade drugs. Their findings, published in the journal Nature Communications, describe how these mechanisms drive ...
Medical Xpress / Artificial lung system keeps patient alive without lungs until transplant
Humans can't live without lungs, but Ankit Bharat's patient did for 48 hours.
Medical Xpress / Beyond the active site: A new way to regulate immune enzyme TREX1
The immune system must maintain a delicate balance to defend against harmful threats while avoiding excessive inflammation. When this balance is disrupted, immune responses can contribute to autoimmune diseases and cancer. ...
Medical Xpress / Hippocampus does more than store memories: It predicts rewards, study finds
A preclinical study published in Nature has found evidence that the hippocampus, the brain region that stores memory, also reorganizes memories to anticipate future outcomes.
Phys.org / NASA-ISRO radar mission peers through clouds to see Mississippi River Delta
A U.S.-Indian Earth satellite's ability to see through clouds, revealing insights and characteristics of our planet's surface, is on display in a colorful, newly released image showing the Mississippi River Delta region in ...
Medical Xpress / How does long COVID develop? New piece of the puzzle found
How long COVID develops is still largely unknown. New molecular connections are revealed in a recent study led by the Center for Individualized Infection Medicine (CiiM), which is a joint institution of the Helmholtz Center ...
Phys.org / Cleaner ship fuel changed clouds, but not their climate balance
To reduce air pollution associated with ocean transport, the International Maritime Organization tightened restrictions on sulfur content in ship fuel, resulting in an 80% reduction in emissions by 2020. That shift created ...
Phys.org / Study shows insect farming byproduct boosts soil health, reduces crop damage
With insect farming projected to produce millions of tons of insects in the coming years, Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station researchers offer evidence that the insect farming byproduct called "frass" can improve soil ...
Phys.org / The Sierra snowpack is dropping fast: Experts say it's not as bad as it seems
The Sierra Nevada snowpack, the source of nearly one-third of California's water supply, is looking a little like a New Year's resolution: full of hope and promise at the beginning of January, but now struggling with a bothersome ...
Phys.org / Svalbard polar bears show improved fat reserves despite sea ice loss
The body conditions of polar bear (Ursus maritimus) populations around the Norwegian island of Svalbard have improved despite sea ice losses, according to new findings. The findings differ from previously published observations ...
Phys.org / Multiwavelength monitoring reveals distant blazar OP 313's behavior
An international team of astronomers has analyzed the data from long-term multiwavelength monitoring of a distant blazar known as OP 313. Results of the new study, published January 18 on the arXiv preprint server, shed more ...
Phys.org / Artemis II: The first human mission to the moon in 54 years launches soon, with a Canadian on board
It's been 54 years since the last Apollo mission, and since then, humans have not ventured beyond low-Earth orbit. But that's all about to change with next week's launch of the Artemis II mission from the Kennedy Space Center ...
