Phys.org / Newfound velociraptor cousin probably glided on four 'wings' and hunted early birds
A fossil bed in northwestern China is littered with the remains of hundreds of prehistoric birds—including some whose broken bones were crushed into pellets, similar to those coughed up by modern owls. For years, scientists ...
Medical Xpress / Topical gel helps burn wounds heal faster using an existing FDA-approved drug
Researchers at the Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation and the University of Arizona College of Medicine have developed a topical gel formulation with 4-aminopyridine (4-AP), to treat burn wounds, achieving near-complete ...
Medical Xpress / PET imaging links brain metabolism patterns to effectiveness of Alzheimer's disease treatment
A specific pattern of brain metabolism visualized with PET imaging can predict which patients are most likely to benefit from Alzheimer's disease therapy. In a retrospective study of patients who received Alzheimer's treatments, ...
Medical Xpress / Stroke patients split into three sedentary profiles during inpatient rehab, study finds
Researchers at Kanazawa University and the Japanese Stroke & Physical Activity Multiple Center Research Team have identified distinct sedentary behavior patterns among patients with stroke undergoing inpatient rehabilitation.
Medical Xpress / Bile acid receptor emerges as sleep apnea target to curb artery plaque
Studies in mice reveal a new target for potentially treating and preventing life-threatening cardiovascular complications in the millions of patients with sleep apnea worldwide. The study, presented at ASM Microbe 2026, showed ...
Phys.org / Supermassive black holes could be the universe's biggest planet nurseries
Supermassive black holes are the largest known black holes in the universe, sitting at the center of most large galaxies. They are sometimes described as cosmic monsters because they feed on surrounding gas and dust when ...
Phys.org / AI paired with tiny optical device corrects distorted light for sharper imaging
Blurry light from lens imperfections is a problem everywhere, from microscopes to telescopes to smartphone cameras. Using a tiny yet carefully engineered optical element and artificial intelligence, University of California ...
Medical Xpress / How aging reshapes sensorimotor learning: Older adults may lose explicit strategy but gain implicit adaptation
When most humans reach late adulthood, their ability to coordinate movements and maintain balance, broadly referred to as motor control, tends to gradually decline. While these changes in motor control are widely documented, ...
Medical Xpress / Ebola outbreak in Central Africa could reach 20,000 cases without strong public health measures
The Ebola outbreak in Central Africa could grow to 20,000 cases or more, depending on how quickly infected people are isolated to slow the spread, according to a new analysis by U.S. health officials.
Phys.org / JWST finds a stellar bar in the early universe that breaks all rules
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have discovered a stellar bar in GN20, a massive galaxy seen just 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang. The new paper was submitted to the preprint server arXiv on May ...
Medical Xpress / Early immunotherapy aids in treating potentially fatal fungal pneumonias in preclinical models
A new study led by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has shown that early administration of immunotherapy with standard antifungal treatment improved outcomes and largely alleviated immune system ...
Phys.org / Atmosphere survival model refines search for habitable planets
Researchers have developed the Smaller Than Earth Habitability Model (STEHM) to assess which planets can maintain life-supporting atmospheres, focusing on size and atmospheric dynamics.
