Medical Xpress / Blocking gene boosts T-cell attacks on chronic hepatitis B virus and tumors
A research team led by Professor Zhou Xuyu from the Institute of Microbiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), in collaboration with researchers from Beijing Ditan Hospital and Capital Medical University, has identified ...
Phys.org / Pollinators keep a later calendar in human-modified landscapes, study finds
Human development may be changing more than where pollinators live—it may also be changing when they are active. University of Florida researchers at the Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) have found that ...
Medical Xpress / Newly found dendrite bottlenecks may reshape how neurons handle information
Neurons receive thousands of signals via tree-like extensions called dendrites. Until now, these dendrites were thought to be relatively smooth cables that conduct electrical signals to the cell body. An international research ...
Dialog / Researchers propose quantum Earth observation for photon-limited environments
Have you ever wondered what Earth observation satellites see when they look down at the deep ocean or a dense tropical forest during the dead of night? The answer, for the most part, is nothing. Standard optical sensors require ...
Medical Xpress / Brain-computer interface enables avatar speech and gestures for people with paralysis
A scientific team has shown that a new brain-computer interface (BCI) can allow people with vocal tract and bodily paralysis to convey both speech and upper-body gestures simultaneously. While BCIs have facilitated one or ...
Medical Xpress / Continuous glucose monitoring reveals trade-off between glucose control and daily well-being
New research to be presented at the Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Milan, Italy, Sept. 28–Oct. 2, shows that among people living with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, data from continuous ...
Medical Xpress / Engineered vesicles protect brain from bacterial toxin
Bacterial meningitis can cause severe brain damage even when patients receive antibiotic treatment promptly. Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have developed tiny biological vesicles that, in animal studies, were able ...
Medical Xpress / Protein restriction may trigger body-wide program linked to longer life
A new perspective from LSU's Pennington Biomedical Research Center proposes a new way of understanding how dietary protein restriction may promote healthy aging and extend lifespan: through a coordinated physiological response ...
Medical Xpress / Metabolic vulnerability identified that may affect heart development
The heart undergoes major changes during the first weeks of life. Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have now shown that a previously unknown metabolic vulnerability in mitochondria can disrupt heart development. The study, ...
Phys.org / Study reveals peatlands may have less capacity to store carbon than predicted
A new study has revealed that peatlands may break under their own weight before they reach their carbon storage potential.
Medical Xpress / Pancreatic tumors use clotting pathway to build immune shields, study finds
Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have found that small populations of pancreatic cancer cells can create localized immune-protective niches that shield tumors from immune attack. The finding could ...
Medical Xpress / Bacteria in the airway may shape air pollution health risk
Air pollution is linked to different risks of bacterial pneumonia, sepsis and meningitis, depending on the bacterial subtype a person carries, new research suggests.
