Medical Xpress / Dual PET imaging detects tumor progression and heart inflammation during cancer treatment
A novel PET imaging approach enables simultaneous visualization of tumor progression and cardiac inflammatory responses during cancer treatment. Using this strategy, researchers demonstrated the effectiveness of a new combination ...
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 ...
Tech Xplore / Photon-driven synapse advances low-power neuromorphic systems
Modern artificial intelligence systems rely on moving large amounts of data between memory and processors, a design that limits speed and increases energy use. The human brain works differently: it combines memory and computation ...
Medical Xpress / Microplastics altered allergy-related immune responses after 14 days in mouse lungs
Microplastics (MP) are the subject of intensive medical research, but little is yet known about their effects on the immune system. A study led by the Medical University of Vienna now shows that tiny particles of polyethylene ...
Medical Xpress / What to know about the outbreak of a rare kind of Ebola
An outbreak of a rare type of Ebola virus has plagued Congo and Uganda, as cases outpace the response.
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, ...
Phys.org / AI crosses catalyst boundaries to uncover new route for green hydrogen
Discovering new catalysts is one of the central challenges in developing clean-energy technologies such as green hydrogen production. Yet catalyst discovery has traditionally remained confined within individual material families, ...
Medical Xpress / How stress hormone shapes brain development: New clues to why early plasticity fades
Researchers have discovered a new way that brain plasticity is controlled in early life, offering insight into the little-understood phenomenon of critical-period closure. In the months or years after birth, critical periods ...
Medical Xpress / Influencers are promoting dangerous peptides on social media, and regulators are struggling to keep up
Once confined to niche bodybuilding forums and hardcore gyms, unproven injectable peptides are now being openly marketed online to the average gym-goer by social media influencers—and regulators struggling to keep up.
Medical Xpress / One-time gene editing treatment lowers 'bad' cholesterol by up to 62%
Patients in London have received a pioneering new gene editing therapy that lowers "bad" cholesterol after a single infusion, as part of a study involving UCL scientists.
Phys.org / Why many fungicide-treated soybean seeds may boost harvests but not farm profits
Many soybean farmers use seeds treated with fungicides to ward off disease, but the profits from these increased yields might not offset the cost of the treatment in most cases, according to a study published in Scientific ...
Phys.org / Researchers teach brain cells to play 'Doom'
Australian researchers have trained lab-grown brain cells on a silicon computer chip to play the nineties shooter game "Doom" and say they are just scratching the surface of what the neurons could be capable of doing.
