Phys.org / Turning mosquitoes into flying vaccine carriers to protect against bat-borne viruses
Bats are reservoirs for several zoonotic viruses, such as Ebola and coronaviruses. These pathogens can spread to humans through direct contact with the flying mammals or their bodily fluids, or indirectly through contaminated ...
Medical Xpress / Post-video game depression: Scientists create tool to measure the phenomenon
Experiencing a sense of loss and sadness after dozens of hours spent on a video game? Researchers from SWPS University and the Stefan Batory Academy of Applied Sciences examined the feeling of emptiness that accompanies completing ...
Medical Xpress / Coping with chronic disease when food is scarce takes its toll on mental health, researchers find
Twenty-five years into her diabetes and youth research, epidemiology professor Angela Liese and her team continue to increase our understanding of this uniquely vulnerable population. The team's recent findings reveal that ...
Phys.org / Scientists discover new heavy proton-like particle at CERN
Scientists from the University of Manchester have played a leading role in the discovery of a new subatomic particle at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The particle, known as the Ξcc⁺ (Xi‑cc‑plus), is a new type ...
Phys.org / Study uncovers mineral 'sink' that reduced phosphorus in early oceans, potentially delaying Earth's oxygen rise
Scientists have long sought to explain a key mismatch in Earth's early history: oxygen-producing photosynthesis evolved hundreds of millions of years before atmospheric oxygen began to rise during the Great Oxidation Event. ...
Medical Xpress / Switching from milk to solid food in early life helps reprogram the gut's immune defenses, researchers find
According to a team of researchers at Baylor College of Medicine, Tongji University and collaborating institutions, weaning or switching from milk to solid food in early life doesn't just change what babies eat, it helps ...
Tech Xplore / Swimming robot propelled by lab-grown muscle hits record speed
NUS researchers have developed a platform that lets lab-grown muscle tissues train themselves to record-breaking strength, with no external stimulation required. By mechanically coupling two muscle tissues so they continuously ...
Medical Xpress / The brain region associated with moral inconsistency
Why don't some people practice what they preach? Researchers reveal that a brain region called the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) is involved. The researchers used fMRI imaging to identify brain activity patterns ...
Phys.org / Integrative archaeogenetics reveal how Southern Andean communities adopted farming and endured crises
An interdisciplinary study published in Nature reconstructs over 2,000 years of population history in Argentina's Uspallata Valley (UV), a southern frontier of Andean farming spread in ancient times, with broader lessons ...
Medical Xpress / Microscopic 'intrabodies' unlock new treatments for motor neuron disease and Alzheimer's
New treatments for neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and motor neuron disease (MND) could be unlocked thanks to microscopic medicines developed by researchers at the University of Essex. Using artificial ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists create cancer-fighting immune cells right in the body
For years, one of the most powerful weapons against certain blood cancers, called CAR-T cell therapy, has required an elaborate process: Doctors extract a patient's immune cells, ship them to a specialized facility where ...
