Medical Xpress / Lewy body formation in Parkinson's disease: Scientists propose a new molecular roadmap
Proteins form the building blocks of life, but when they form unusual clumps inside the brain, they raise an alarm that something isn't right.
Phys.org / How European city life is continually rewriting insect DNA
Cities are known to shape the evolution of wildlife within them, but according to a study of European cities published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, this is not a one-off event. Rather ...
Phys.org / Glassy dynamics model predicts lipid exchange rates across cell membranes
Biological processes that govern our lives are many, intertwined, and often difficult to understand. They involve countless interactions happening at once—molecules recognizing each other, signals being transmitted, and ...
Phys.org / Humanity's oldest known cave art has been discovered in Sulawesi
When we think of the world's oldest art, Europe usually comes to mind, with famous cave paintings in France and Spain often seen as evidence this was the birthplace of symbolic human culture. But new evidence from Indonesia ...
Medical Xpress / How exercise-induced migration of mitochondria protects the brain against stroke
Physical rehabilitation and symptom management still remain the mainstay of treatment for stroke, as clot removal or dissolution is effective only within a narrow time frame after the stroke. After that, many patients are ...
Phys.org / Astronomers discover a companion cluster to Czernik 38
Astronomers from the National Research Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics (NRIAG) in Cairo, Egypt, have investigated a young open cluster known as Czernik 38. As a result, they found a new open cluster, which turns out ...
Tech Xplore / New heat-shrinking method integrates electronic circuits on irregular shapes
Most electronics are built on flat, stiff boards, which makes it incredibly difficult to fit them onto curved and irregular shapes we find in the real world, such as human limbs or curved aircraft wings. While flexible electronics ...
Medical Xpress / Regenerating lost lymph nodes with bioengineered tissues
The rising incidence of cancer worldwide has led to an increasing number of surgeries that involve the removal of lymph nodes. Although these procedures play a major role in cancer staging and preventing the spread of malignancies, ...
Tech Xplore / Off-grid filtration technology can remove over 99% of nanoplastics smaller than 50 nm
Professor Jeong-Min Baik's research group of the SKKU School of Advanced Materials Science and Engineering has developed a reusable electrokinetic filtration platform capable of filtering more than 99% of ultrafine nanoplastic ...
Phys.org / Gaia data release reveals four substructures in open cluster NGC 752
By analyzing the data from ESA's Gaia satellite, Chinese astronomers have investigated the structure of a nearby open cluster known as NGC 752. The new study identified four substructures and delivered evidence for mass segregation ...
Phys.org / 40 years of tree-tracking records reveal how global change is impacting Amazon and Andean Forest diversity
New research published in Nature Ecology and Evolution reveals significant recent shifts in tree diversity among the tropical forests of the Andes and Amazon, driven by global change.
Phys.org / Biofilm streamers harden under flow, making bacterial infections harder to treat
Whether in the human body or on surfaces, bacteria protect themselves from outside attackers using biofilms. Physicist Eleonora Secchi is researching how these slime-like protective films are formed, with the aim of making ...
