Medical Xpress / RNA therapy may help preserve muscle during GLP-1 weight loss
GLP-1 drugs have revolutionized obesity treatment, but they can lead people to lose muscle mass along with fat. And when patients stop treatment, they often regain their weight—primarily as fat.
Phys.org / 3I/ATLAS has an extreme taste for heavy water
More and more details about 3I/ATLAS are filtering through the scientific process as time goes on. Our third known interstellar visitor attracted the attention of some of the world's most powerful observatories when it was ...
Phys.org / Archaeologists uncover centuries-old mystery of Tampa Bay's secret community of migrant potters
About 100 years ago, archaeologists unearthing pottery sherds in Tampa Bay found something unexpected. Some of the fragments they recovered had designs nearly identical to decorated pottery found hundreds of miles to the ...
Medical Xpress / When the brain gets tired, endurance suffers
After a day spent perusing reports, juggling emails, resolving conflicts and making decisions, a bike ride will seem more taxing, even though your legs aren't any weaker. To shed light on this phenomenon, Benjamin Pageaux, ...
Phys.org / El Niño weather pattern enters record territory: Scientist
The strengthening El Niño weather pattern has tied for the most intense on record on a widely used metric, a senior scientist told AFP on Monday, even as its influence is already being felt from Central America to Indonesia.
Medical Xpress / Batteries that safely break down in the GI tract could improve ingestible devices
Using materials safe for human consumption, MIT researchers have created tiny batteries that could be used to power ingestible electronic devices. Such batteries could make the devices safer for patients and minimize the ...
Medical Xpress / Sharper reasoning skills in teen years tied to lower dementia risk later in life
Could the way we think in our 20s offer clues about our risk of dementia decades later? Large population studies suggest that people who perform better on thinking ability tests in adolescence or young adulthood are less ...
Medical Xpress / Engaging the core could regulate blood flow in the brain
Engaging core muscles—through movement, exercise or even coughing—may be a key regulator of blood flow in the brain. When the body moves, the contraction of abdominal muscles increases pressure in blood vessels connected ...
Phys.org / Eat, prey, love: Nurse shark mating and Northeast angler conflicts offer conservation insights
While the Discovery Channel's annual Shark Week event has given the public greater familiarity with sharks, much about them—from their mysterious love lives to how their eating habits bring them into conflict with recreational ...
Phys.org / AI tool compares 125 cell types across 700 million years of evolution
A KAUST-led team has developed the AI tool Unify to help scientists compare similar cell types across distant species. This comparison can help researchers assess which findings from animal studies may be most relevant to ...
Phys.org / Student-led missions deploy free-flying light sails from CubeSats in low Earth orbit
Students in Cornell's Space Systems Design Studio (SSDS) have released mission results for two unique light-sail experiments. These sails are slightly larger than a pizza box and harness momentum from photons to accelerate ...
Phys.org / Truckee River microplastics rise nearly tenfold during high spring flows
The ubiquitous plastics of modern life are degrading into tiny fragments and littering Earth's landscapes and waterways. Scientists are starting to examine and measure this phenomenon to better understand how microplastics ...
