Medical Xpress / The low‑tech fix that will reduce brain injuries in sport
For parents around the world, weekend mornings often look the same: standing on the sidelines of a soccer field, basketball court or American football field. In Australia's southern states, it's often an Australian rules ...
Phys.org / Genetically distinct avocados discovered in Nicaragua
A team of scientists led by researchers at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History and Texas A&M University recently uncovered genetic traces of ancient migration in DNA from avocados growing in Nicaragua. They ...
Phys.org / Ceramic vessels reveal how social inequalities were also cooked into 19th-century Brazil
Fish, shellfish, maize, manioc, rice and even chicken eggs. Molecular residues preserved in more than 180 ceramic vessels from southern Brazil have made it possible to reconstruct what different communities were cooking more ...
Medical Xpress / Premature blood stem cell aging in sickle cell disease may be reversible
Sickle cell disease causes premature aging of blood stem cells, which scientists may be able to address with a special class of drugs, according to a new study from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Patients with sickle ...
Phys.org / Should scientists have research 'reserves' on the moon?
The worlds of the solar system are exciting and, so far, mostly pristine places for planetary scientists to study. As space missions continue to travel to Mars, Europa, asteroids and other worlds, questions arise about keeping ...
Medical Xpress / Beyond inflammation: Caspase-11's unexpected role in bone remodeling
Millions of people worldwide suffer from osteoporosis, a disease marked by progressive bone loss, weakened skeletal strength and increased fracture risk. Healthy bone is maintained through continuous remodeling, where osteoblasts ...
Medical Xpress / Gene activity in blood fluctuates more than expected—and that has consequences for medicine
Take a blood sample from someone in the dead of winter. Take another in midsummer. Same person, same laboratory. And yet, at the level of gene activity, the molecular picture can look surprisingly different. This is not an ...
Phys.org / Genome tool places large genetic sequences precisely in rice and tobacco without DNA breaks
Researchers at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) have developed a new way to add large pieces of genetic information to plants, overcoming a challenge that has limited plant biotechnology for decades. ...
Medical Xpress / Gut immune cells may help explain how B-cell depletion controls MS
B-cell depletion therapies, in which B cells of the immune system that may drive disease activity in multiple sclerosis (MS) are temporarily removed, have contributed significantly to improved treatment for patients in recent ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists discover hidden gateways that allow the brain to clear waste
The brain continuously produces metabolic waste that must be removed to maintain healthy function. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) plays a central role in this process by carrying away proteins such as amyloid-β, phosphorylated ...
