Medical Xpress / Mental health and heart attacks: What a 22-million-person review suggests
The Department of Medicine at University of Calgary led an analysis comparing several clinical mental disorders with risk of acute coronary syndrome, a term that includes heart attack and emergency chest pain resulting from ...
Phys.org / When continents try, and fail, to break apart
Great things can come from failure when it comes to geology. The Midcontinent rift formed about 1.1 billion years ago and runs smack in the middle of the United States at the Great Lakes. The rift failed to completely rupture, ...
Medical Xpress / Rates of autism in girls and boys may be more equal than previously thought
Autism has long been viewed as a condition that predominantly affects male individuals, but a study from Sweden published by The BMJ shows that autism may actually occur at comparable rates among male and female individuals. ...
Phys.org / 'Red Potato' galaxy discovered by astronomers
Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), an international team of astronomers has discovered a new massive and quiescent red galaxy, which they dubbed "Red Potato." The discovery was reported in a research paper published ...
Medical Xpress / Gene-editing therapy proves effective for Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy
A research team has successfully demonstrated the world's first gene-editing treatment for Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON). The study was conducted in collaboration with the Seoul National University College of ...
Phys.org / Electron-phonon 'surfing' could help stabilize quantum hardware, nanowire tests suggest
That low-frequency fuzz that can bedevil cellphone calls has to do with how electrons move through and interact in materials at the smallest scale. The electronic flicker noise is often caused by interruptions in the flow ...
Phys.org / AI foundation model aims to make stem cell therapies more predictable
One of the most enduring goals in regenerative medicine is deceptively simple: replace a person's damaged or dying cells with healthy new ones grown in the laboratory.
Medical Xpress / One-third of dementia cases are linked to non brain-related diseases, study finds
Dementia is a term used to describe memory loss, impaired reasoning, difficulties communicating and other mental impairments that can be caused by Alzheimer's disease, other neurodegenerative disease, strokes, severe infections, ...
Phys.org / Graphene sealing enables first atomic images of monolayer transition metal diiodides
Two-dimensional (2D) materials promise revolutionary advances in electronics and photonics, but many of the most interesting candidates degrade within seconds of air exposure, making them nearly impossible to study or integrate ...
Phys.org / Beyond climate: Connection and mobility were key drivers in early human innovation, research suggests
A new study challenges the idea that climate change drove early human innovation. Instead, researchers find that cultural developments arose under different environmental conditions, shaped by movement, interaction, and knowledge ...
Medical Xpress / Self-regulating living implant could end daily insulin injections
A pioneering study marks a major step toward eliminating the need for daily insulin injections for people with diabetes. The study was led by Assistant Professor Shady Farah of the Faculty of Chemical Engineering at the Technion—Israel ...
Phys.org / Honest or deceptive? What a new signaling model means for animal displays and human claims
For decades, scientists have tried to answer a simple question: why be honest when deception is possible? Whether it is a peacock's tail, a stag's roar, or a human's résumé, signals are means to influence others by transmitting ...
