Medical Xpress / A new map for inflammatory bowel disease: Human DNA in stool reveals disease activity
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), affecting an estimated 6–8 million people worldwide, may soon be monitored with a simple stool test instead of invasive procedures. Researchers have demonstrated that human DNA in fecal matter, ...
Medical Xpress / FDA approves Auvelity for Alzheimer's disease-related agitation
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved the expanded use of Axsome Therapeutics' Auvelity (dextromethorphan hydrobromide and bupropion hydrochloride) extended-release tablets to treat adults with agitation associated ...
Phys.org / When faith meets a melting point: New study warns Hajj pilgrimage is breaching human survivability limits
A new study warns that climate change is creating serious and growing risks for millions of pilgrims performing Hajj, with extreme heat and humidity already pushing human physiological limits during the 2024 pilgrimage. This ...
Phys.org / When strength in numbers stops working: Climate extremes rewrite monkey society in Costa Rica
As climate change intensifies, scientists are becoming increasingly concerned about how animals will cope with a more unpredictable world. One way to gain insight is by studying how animals have already responded to natural ...
Phys.org / How the rise of continents may have set the stage for life on Earth
Earth's earliest continents may have set the chemical stage for life by regulating boron levels in ancient oceans, a new study in Terra Nova suggests.
Phys.org / Hourglass nanographenes unlock strong, robust multi-spin entanglement
Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and collaborators have developed a predictive design strategy for creating graphene-like molecules with multiple interacting spins and enhanced resilience to magnetic ...
Medical Xpress / Finger-prick blood test may spot active tuberculosis early and predict who develops disease
Household contacts of people with tuberculosis (TB) have a high risk of getting TB themselves, at around 2%. It is currently difficult to detect TB in its early stages, or predict who will go on to have TB, and therefore ...
Phys.org / Webb and Hubble find massive star clusters emerge faster
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope together with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have looked deeply at thousands of young star clusters in four nearby galaxies, studying clusters at different ...
Medical Xpress / New heart disease risk prediction tool validated globally
A tool developed by the American Heart Association (AHA), proven to accurately predict heart disease risk for Americans, can be applied to the global population, a new study led by NYU Langone Health shows.
Phys.org / How quasars shut down star formation in the early universe
Supermassive black holes lurk at the centers of massive galaxies, including our own Milky Way. Puzzlingly, supermassive black holes more than a billion times the mass of the sun appear to exist just a few hundred million ...
Phys.org / Hologram technology where 'light becomes the key' enables hard-to-copy security
A new type of hologram technology has been developed that uses the motion of light as a key, revealing information only under specific conditions. This is gaining attention as a novel approach that can simultaneously overcome ...
Phys.org / A targeted 'off switch' in a plant's egg cell speeds up the breeding process
An international research team led by the IPK Leibniz Institute has succeeded in generating haploids in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana very efficiently. This process involves degrading a specific protein in the centromere. ...
