Medical Xpress / Spatial map of the lung reveals cellular mechanisms driving damage and fibrosis in severe COVID-19
A lung affected by deadly forms of COVID-19 not only loses essential cells for breathing but also undergoes profound changes in its internal organization and the way its cells communicate with each other. A study involving ...
Phys.org / Healthy corals help bleached neighbors regain color: Study
The world's coral reefs face an existential threat from rising seawater temperatures that trigger widespread bleaching, a problem driven by climate change and compounded by this year's intense El Niño phenomenon.
Phys.org / Superheavy-element compound reveals weaker-than-expected bond due to relativistic effects
An international collaboration led by a research group from GSI/FAIR in Darmstadt, Germany, has achieved the first measurement of the chemical stability of a superheavy element compound.
Medical Xpress / Strong food preferences may help explain why changing eating habits is hard
Learning new eating habits isn't simple. Our preexisting feelings around food—whether it's a distaste for olives or a love of pastries—could make it harder to learn new eating habits, according to new research from Yale School ...
Tech Xplore / Greener chemistry brings low-toxicity perovskite solar cells closer to production
Solar panels that can be coated onto thin, flexible surfaces could one day be made the way newspapers are printed, at room temperature and without the toxic chemicals the process has relied on, claim researchers from the ...
Phys.org / Rare particle decays hint at deviations from Standard Model predictions
Studying rare processes is part and parcel of particle physics, providing stringent tests of the Standard Model. At the recent International Conference on High Energy Physics (ICHEP), the CMS and LHCb collaborations presented ...
Phys.org / NASA's Hubble spies spiral's edge
This NASA Hubble Space Telescope image features the edge-on, intermediate spiral galaxy NGC 1827, located roughly 37 million light-years away in the constellation Columba, the Dove. Hubble captured the image as part of a ...
Medical Xpress / Two-trigger drugs target 'zombie' cancer cells with sharper aim
Stopping a cancer cell from dividing does not necessarily make it harmless. Chemotherapy can leave behind living, senescent cells. These 'zombie' cells can release inflammatory signals, helping tumors resist treatment. Drugs ...
Medical Xpress / Persistent gaps remain in hearing aid coverage, especially for older and lower-income adults, study finds
Despite gradual progress in insurance policies requiring hearing aid coverage, many Americans still lack guaranteed access to these essential devices, according to a new study published in JAMA Otolaryngology–Head & Neck ...
Phys.org / Removing rats and restoring native plants could help atolls withstand rising seas
Protecting seabirds and restoring natural vegetation could give low-lying tropical atoll islands a fighting chance against the threat of sea-level rise, a new study reveals.
Medical Xpress / Can we take the STING out of bone loss? Pathway presents potential treatment target for skeletal aging
As we age, our bones become weak and brittle, a process called osteoporosis. This bone loss is caused by changes in the cells within the bone marrow microenvironment, such as elevated fat and inflammation-promoting immune ...
Phys.org / Isle of Wight fossil Europe's first known long-clawed megaraptoran dinosaur
A new species of dinosaur—a long-clawed predator the size of a large tiger—has been discovered by a UCL-led team from a fossil found on the Isle of Wight. The dinosaur, described in a new paper in the journal Royal Society ...
