Phys.org / Uncovering the link between epigenetic modifications and chromatin structure
Certain epigenetic modifications can directly control how genetic material is packed in the nucleus, RIKEN researchers have shown. This has important implications for our understanding of how genes are expressed in different ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists identify brain circuit that helps us 'change gears'
Most people have experienced the feeling: switching from one task to another, only to find the brain momentarily stuck in the old mode of thinking. Sometimes, even after realizing a strategy no longer works, the mind keeps ...
Medical Xpress / Simple blood test could catch Alzheimer's and Parkinson's early by spotting misfolded proteins
For the first time, therapeutically effective medications are now available for Alzheimer's disease. Effective symptomatic therapies also exist for Parkinson's disease; however, a prerequisite for successful treatment is ...
Phys.org / High-entropy catalyst lets ammonia fuel cell reach world-class power and durability
As ammonia gains attention as a next-generation energy source capable of overcoming the limits of hydrogen storage and transport, KAIST and a joint research team have developed fuel cell technology that directly uses ammonia ...
Tech Xplore / Robotic collective flows like matter, adapting without centralized control
Cornell engineers have developed a robotic collective that behaves less like a machine and more like a material that flows, reshapes, and adapts to its environment without centralized control. The system, called the Cross-Link ...
Tech Xplore / Enhanced YOLO framework boosts 360-degree small-object detection to 90% accuracy
Omnidirectional cameras are widely popular as they capture a full 360-degree view. They are often utilized for surveillance, traffic analysis, and autonomous systems. But the same wide-angle vision also leads to a technical ...
Medical Xpress / New indicator for response to therapy in pediatric cancers identified
A study by researchers at the University of Birmingham has identified a new biomarker for response to a specific cancer therapy, treating children with Ewing Sarcoma and other tumor types. The study, which is a Phase I/II ...
Medical Xpress / Both heart chambers are more severely affected in atrial fibrillation than previously thought, study reveals
New research findings from the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG) show that both atria undergo profound changes in cases of persistent atrial fibrillation. Until now, the left atrium was considered the primary site ...
Medical Xpress / Exercise hormone irisin could offer neuroprotective effects in multiple sclerosis
A new study offers clues as to why exercise can improve neurological symptoms in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). The study, led by investigators from Mass General Brigham and University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf ...
Phys.org / Is organic farming the solution to enhance natural drought resilience in crops?
A study led by researchers from the Department of Microbiology at the University of Malaga has revealed how organic farming—using natural substances and processes and avoiding the use of synthetic chemicals—can, in the long ...
Medical Xpress / Smartphone data predict smoking cravings and lapses, with potential to treat addiction and other conditions
Minuscule movement patterns collected from smartphones and often undetectable to humans have been used to predict cravings and compulsive behaviors with groundbreaking accuracy—potentially offering timely and bespoke treatment ...
Tech Xplore / Why the US EV battery supply still depends on imports despite domestic mining push
As electric vehicle (EV) adoption grows in the United States and globally, the demand for EV batteries and their critical materials—such as lithium, nickel, cobalt, and graphite—is expected to surge dramatically. This makes ...
