Phys.org / Turning mosquitoes into flying vaccine carriers to protect against bat-borne viruses
Bats are reservoirs for several zoonotic viruses, such as Ebola and coronaviruses. These pathogens can spread to humans through direct contact with the flying mammals or their bodily fluids, or indirectly through contaminated ...
Medical Xpress / No evidence to suggest medicinal cannabis is effective for depression, anxiety or PTSD, says systematic review
A landmark paper published in Lancet Psychiatry—the largest-ever review of the safety and efficacy of cannabinoids across a range of mental health conditions—found no evidence that medicinal cannabis is effective in treating ...
Phys.org / High-resolution electron microscopy sheds light on the cellular responses to stress
An international team led by researchers from the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), Germany, has used advanced electron microscopy technologies to capture key cellular mechanisms of stress resistance with near-atomic ...
Phys.org / Milk-derived nanoparticles may enable physicians to target aggressive bile duct cancer
Mayo Clinic researchers have developed a promising new way to deliver treatment directly to cholangiocarcinoma tumors, a rare and aggressive bile duct cancer with limited treatment options, using milk-derived nanoparticles ...
Medical Xpress / A new digital imagery program can help students reduce anxiety levels
With exams looming and a lot potentially riding on their future, many university students suffer from anxiety. This pressure can often create a cycle of worry that is difficult to break without the right tools. A new study ...
Phys.org / Q&A: Reevaluating reaction rates to better understand the stars
Thermonuclear reaction rates power the models that explain how stars live, explode and create the elements. A new study co-authored by NC State faculty member Richard Longland provides a comprehensive, statistically grounded ...
Medical Xpress / Early adult drinking linked to middle-age cognitive decline—even after extended abstinence
It's well known that alcohol consumption is an age-old method for coping with stress. But recent research led by the University of Massachusetts Amherst has found that when such self-medication begins in early adulthood, ...
Phys.org / Globular cluster NGC 5824 is embedded in a dark matter halo, study suggests
Using data from the Magellan Clay telescope and the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT), astronomers have investigated a galactic globular cluster known as NGC 5824. Results of the new study, available in a paper published ...
Medical Xpress / Fathers' health crucial to improving pregnancy and child outcomes, study highlights
New research from the University of Southampton and international partners shines a spotlight on the significant and often under-recognized role that fathers' health and well-being play in shaping pregnancy and child outcomes. ...
Phys.org / A clear roadmap for engineering combs of light
Optical frequency combs—laser sources that emit evenly spaced colors of light—are foundational, ubiquitous tools for precision measurement, found in optical clocks, gas-sensing spectrometers, and instruments that detect ...
Medical Xpress / Automated intervention shows significant increase in smoking cessation behavior
Researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) found that a new automated tobacco treatment system integrated into routine pediatric care helped drive a 3.9% absolute increase in smoking cessation among mothers—a ...
Phys.org / ChatGPT can provide original mathematical proofs, researchers show
VUB's Data Analytics Lab has published new results showing that it is possible to develop original mathematical proofs using commercial language models. In a paper posted to the arXiv preprint server, the researchers show ...
