Medical Xpress / Oxalate in spinach and almonds may worsen gut inflammation in IBD
Spinach, almonds and sweet potatoes are celebrated as some of the healthiest foods on the planet. But for the millions of Americans living with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a new study from the UNC School of Medicine ...
Phys.org / Protein degradation rate helps explain why humans develop more slowly than mice
Humans develop at a slower rate than other mammalian species, like mice, but scientists are still trying to understand the molecular basis of these differences. Now, researchers from the Ebisuya Group at EMBL Barcelona and ...
Phys.org / Why a newly formed lake is sparking fears of more flooding along the Nepal-China border
Even as rescuers worked through mud and debris Friday in areas devastated by a catastrophic flash flood along the Himalayan border between Nepal and China, authorities warned that a newly formed, overflowing lake could trigger ...
Phys.org / Fleeting sugar pairs may help curb abnormal cell-growth signals
Acting as armor, a scaffold and a communication platform in one, our cells' plasma membrane lies at the heart of many crucial cellular processes. Traditionally, it has been thought to function through interactions among its ...
Phys.org / Widespread use of AI tools could make it harder to craft effective business communications
Generative AI tools such as ChatGPT make it easier for business owners to produce polished pitches, business plans and other communications, but according to new research from The University of Manchester and Canada's University ...
Medical Xpress / Physiotherapist-led care in emergency departments reduces wait times for musculoskeletal patients
Major new research from the University of Sydney has found that physiotherapist-led care significantly reduced emergency department waiting and treatment times for people with back pain, fractures, dislocations and other ...
Phys.org / Forty forest drought experiments reveal trees show little physiological acclimation
Forests support much of the world's biodiversity and play a vital role in regulating Earth's climate, but they are increasingly exposed to drought. To understand the potential consequences of drought, a key question is whether ...
Medical Xpress / New fibroblast state reveals how lung tumors may suppress immune defenses
Researchers at Columbia University have identified a previously unknown population of fibroblasts that may protect lung tumors from immune attack. The work, published in Nature Immunology, illuminates a previously unknown ...
Phys.org / Why marine heat waves and acidification strike together
Marine heat waves and extreme ocean acidification events are each damaging on their own. But when both stressors hit simultaneously, their individual effects can be exacerbated.
Phys.org / Chemical physicists quantitatively model electron interactions in real quantum materials
A team of scientists from Caltech and Yale University has shown for the first time how to accurately quantify an important quantum phenomenon in metals, called the Kondo effect, for specific real materials. Unlike previous ...
Phys.org / Virtual cell model could accelerate protein-degrader therapy design
A team of Weill Cornell Medicine investigators has developed a computer model that will help scientists more efficiently develop protein-destroying therapies, a newer type of treatment that is particularly promising for cancer. ...
Medical Xpress / Almost a third of women in their 20s have never been screened for cervical cancer
The percentage of women in their 20s who have never been screened for cervical cancer has been increasing at a disturbing rate over the past 20 years—to the point that almost a third of women ages 21 to 29 have never been ...
