Medical Xpress / Gene-edited stem cells help five blood disorder patients stop transfusions in clinical trial
Stem cell transplantation could be a rapid and effective way to restore hemoglobin production in individuals with the blood disorder β-thalassaemia. The treatment, presented in a phase 1 clinical trial, could reduce dependence ...
Medical Xpress / Transport issues disrupt dialysis for kidney patients
A new UC Davis Health study reveals that transportation challenges create major barriers for patients with end-stage kidney disease who receive hemodialysis at a clinic. These challenges also have a negative impact on dialysis ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers use earbuds to monitor heart health
Carnegie Mellon researchers have proven that widely available earbuds can double as heart-monitoring devices, capturing subtle cardiac activity with near-clinical accuracy and potentially expanding access to long-term, at-home ...
Phys.org / Buried bounty: Caribou survival depends on lichen and snow
A study by researchers at the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry indicates that if lichen continues to decline across the Arctic, caribou populations could struggle to survive the winter.
Phys.org / From joyrides to assault, 'crimefluencer' networks are coercing young people into breaking the law
You have probably never heard the term "crimefluencer." These are members of decentralized online crime networks who take crime content and amplify it to build notoriety and status in their online communities.
Medical Xpress / Gut inflammation may rewire the 'second brain,' triggering lasting motility problems
Research by Milena Bogunovic, MD, Ph.D., associate professor of pathology, sheds light on how inflammation in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, such as that associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), can lead to long-lasting ...
Phys.org / Robust against noise, geometric-phase swap gates bring stability to quantum operations
Researchers at ETH Zurich have realized particularly stable quantum logical operations with qubits made of neutral atoms. Since these operations, called quantum gates, are based on geometric phases, they are extremely robust ...
Tech Xplore / Leather gets a power upgrade with laser-written microsupercapacitors
Researchers have developed a simple and eco-friendly way to use a laser to turn natural leather into flexible and wearable energy devices. The new approach could lay the groundwork for more sustainable wearable electronics. ...
Phys.org / Mangrove crab outruns its namesake, expanding its range 200 miles north
A crab named for mangrove forests is leaving them behind. New research from William & Mary's Batten School & VIMS shows that the Atlantic mangrove fiddler crab (Leptuca thayeri) is settling into temperate salt marshes along ...
Phys.org / The lengths male octopuses go to protect the arm they need to mate
For mating male octopuses, one limb is more important than all others. That is the third right arm or hectocotylus, which is used to transfer sperm to the female because the penis cannot do it directly. Losing the limb can ...
Tech Xplore / Prototype chip could boost efficiency of power management in data centers
In an effort to meet the rising energy demands of data centers, engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a new chip design that could improve how graphics processing units (GPUs) convert and manage ...
Phys.org / Penguins in remote Patagonia are carrying 'forever chemicals' signals
Penguins living along the Patagonian coast of Argentina can serve as living monitors of their environment by using small, chemical-detecting leg bands, according to a study from the University of California, Davis, and the ...
