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 ...
Phys.org / Supernova dust may be behind one of JWST's biggest puzzles
Astronomers may have found an explanation for one of the biggest mysteries revealed by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST): why so many galaxies in the early universe appear unexpectedly bright in ultraviolet light. The ...
Medical Xpress / Common food preservatives linked to high blood pressure and heart disease
Eating foods that contain common preservative food additives may increase the risks of high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease, according to research published in the European Heart Journal.
Medical Xpress / Mitochondria may control immune cell activation and the effectiveness of immunotherapy
A study led by researchers at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC) has identified a mitochondrial checkpoint that enables dendritic cells to efficiently activate T lymphocytes against viruses and ...
Phys.org / Overpopulation can impair fertility. A new study explains why
Scientists have reported it for decades: overpopulation can impair reproduction. Crowded chickens lay fewer eggs. Crowded mice have smaller broods. In humans, several studies have associated increased population density with ...
Medical Xpress / Written in the eye: How the retina's biological age could help predict osteoporosis risk
Eyes, the high-resolution biological devices that help us visualize the outside world, are now being used as a portal to assess our internal health. Scientists have found that a closer evaluation of how one's retina is aging ...
Phys.org / AI-generated fake citations are flooding scientific literature across publications, scientists warn
The citations at the end of a research paper should represent a solid foundation of existing knowledge about a particular field, a pool of peer-reviewed sources built over years of research and study. However, with the increasing ...
Tech Xplore / Scientists generate electricity from ambient moisture using everyday ingredients
In a study published in Nano Energy, researchers from Queen Mary, the University of Warwick, Imperial College London, and Universitas Mercatorum report a highly stable, biodegradable Moisture-Electric Generator (MEG). The ...
Phys.org / Using pulsars as ultra-precise gravitational probes to 'weigh' neighboring galaxies
Researchers at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a part of The University of Alabama System, have identified a promising new method for measuring the mass of galaxies orbiting the Milky Way by using pulsars, ...
Phys.org / Second ribosome binding site helps explain how tetracyclines work
For decades, doctors have widely used tetracyclines for conditions ranging from acne to tick-borne illnesses. Using high-resolution imaging technology, researchers in the laboratory of Christopher Bunick, MD, Ph.D., associate ...
Phys.org / South China Sea coral reefs reveal carbon stores rivaling mangroves and seagrasses
A collaborative research team has revealed the long-overlooked carbon storage potential of coral reef ecosystems and how reef-dwelling fish, corals, and surface sediments jointly shape reef carbon reservoirs. The paper is ...
Phys.org / Indonesia says its giant sea wall will stop flooding. Is this climate adaptation or a costly folly?
Indonesia plans to build a "giant sea wall," more than 500 kilometers long, to defend Java's north coast from rising sea levels.
