Phys.org / AI method advances customized enzyme design
Enzymes with specific functions are becoming increasingly important in industry, medicine and environmental protection. For example, they make it possible to synthesize chemicals in a more environmentally friendly way, produce ...
Medical Xpress / Breast cancer study reveals synergistic effect of CDK2 and CDK4/6 combination therapy
A new preclinical study from researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, published in Nature Communications, identifies a powerful strategy to overcome drug resistance in breast cancer by simultaneously ...
Medical Xpress / Alzheimer's disease can be evaluated with brain stimulation, finds study
As individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD) move from the mild cognitive impairment stage to moderate and severe dementia, complex awareness deteriorates although lower-level sensory awareness is relatively maintained. Most ...
Medical Xpress / Skin imaging scan can detect early signs of heart disease
Researchers from Helmholtz Munich and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed "fast-RSOM," a new imaging technology that can capture detailed images of the smallest blood vessels directly through the skin—without ...
Phys.org / 3D-printed surfaces help atoms play ball to improve quantum sensors
Scientists have created 3D printed surfaces featuring intricate textures that can be used to bounce unwanted gas particles away from quantum sensors, allowing useful particles like atoms to be delivered more efficiently, ...
Medical Xpress / Targeted radiation therapy can be safely combined with chemotherapy, study finds
A University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center study shows that a targeted form of radiation therapy can be safely delivered alongside high-dose chemotherapy and systemic therapy without requiring patients to pause their cancer ...
Phys.org / Evidence of 'lightning-fast' evolution found after Chicxulub impact
The asteroid that struck the Earth 66 million years ago devastated life across the planet, wiping out the dinosaurs and other organisms in a hail of fire and catastrophic climate change. But new research shows that it also ...
Medical Xpress / Progenitor cells constantly attempt to produce new myelin-producing brain cells, study finds
In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells—one of the few brain cell types that continue to be produced in the adult brain—undergo differentiation ...
Tech Xplore / Making blockchain fast enough for IoT networks
The vision of a fully connected world is rapidly becoming a reality through the Internet of Things (IoT)—a growing network of physical devices that collect and share data over the Internet, including everything from small ...
Medical Xpress / Surgery beats medical therapy in type 2 diabetes, regardless of social deprivation: Study
For adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D), surgery is superior to medical therapy for reducing hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels and achieving weight loss, regardless of social deprivation, according to a study published online Jan. ...
Phys.org / Increased soil salinity alters global inorganic carbon storage, finds study
A new global study shows that increasing soil salinity is systematically reshaping the storage and distribution of soil inorganic carbon (SIC), a key but often-overlooked part of terrestrial ecosystems. The findings, published ...
Medical Xpress / Small daily changes linked to dramatically longer lives
Two separate studies suggest that minor lifestyle changes can lead to a longer life. One Norwegian-led team estimated that adding five min/day of moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity and reducing daily sedentary ...
