Phys.org / Discovery of new fossils in Northwest Canada changes view of early animal evolution
Researchers have uncovered a remarkable fossil site in a remote part of Canada's Northwest Territories, offering unprecedented insight into the earliest evolution of complex animal life on Earth. Findings from the site represent ...
Medical Xpress / A brief kidney crisis in childhood can cast a long shadow over health for years afterward
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a condition in which the kidneys suddenly lose their ability to filter waste from the blood. Developing within hours or days, AKI can cause dangerous waste accumulation and disrupt the body's ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists discover how to harness T cells to combat entire viral families
Scientists at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) have discovered that combining key vaccine ingredients could give the body the tools it needs to fight the entire family of arenaviruses with a single vaccine. This "pan-arenavirus" ...
Tech Xplore / Technology usually creates jobs for young, skilled workers. Will AI do the same?
At any given time, technology does two things to employment: It replaces traditional jobs, and it creates new lines of work. Machines replace farmers, but enable, say, aeronautical engineers to exist. So, if tech creates ...
Medical Xpress / Early warning signs: Poor grip strength linked to greater odds of developing depression
Handgrip strength is the maximum force a person can apply with their hand, and it is often used as a proxy for overall muscular strength, functional capacity, and aging. Scientists have found that it can also be an indicator ...
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 ...
Science X / Seen from Mars, an interstellar visitor looks completely different and changes what astronomers thought they knew
Last fall, a Chinese spacecraft orbiting Mars captured images of a comet from another star system, offering scientists a fresh vantage on a rare visitor.
Medical Xpress / A new way to recharge aging muscle stem cells by restoring a key metabolic component
Losing muscle strength is a natural part of aging. At the core of this decline is a drop in the number of muscle stem cells (MuSCs), the specialized cells responsible for maintaining and regenerating muscle tissue throughout ...
Phys.org / How Earth recycles continents deep underground
Scientists have uncovered new evidence that Earth's continents are continuously reworked deep beneath the surface, offering fresh insight into how continents have evolved over billions of years.
Medical Xpress / AI uses everyday language to make genetic diagnosis easier
A new computational tool called MARRVEL-MCP helps researchers move toward genetic diagnoses more efficiently by analyzing and interpreting vast amounts of genetic and biological information using everyday language. The study, ...
Phys.org / Developing seed atlas uncovers active genes tied to crop resilience and nutrition
Seeds like wheat, rice, and corn are at the center of the global food supply and provide most of the daily calories consumed worldwide. But despite their importance, scientists still do not fully understand many of the basic ...
Phys.org / 'Seed Transfer Zones' could help restore vast areas of degraded land in Brazil
A new study divides Brazil into 48 zones, each defined by its climate and soil conditions. Restoration projects can use these zones to identify which native seeds are best suited to each location under both current and future ...
