Medical Xpress / Genetic pathway offers new insight into timing of early brain development
Melbourne researchers have uncovered a critical signaling pathway that controls the timing of brain development, shedding new light on how neurodevelopmental disorders may develop. The research, led by Murdoch Children's ...
Medical Xpress / Gut bacteria linked to key brain chemicals in first-of-its-kind human study
The neuroactive potential of bacteria living in the human gut is associated with levels of key chemicals in the brain, according to a new study published in Molecular Psychiatry. The research team from the University of Surrey ...
Medical Xpress / Healthier fats linked to longer survival after prostate cancer diagnosis
Men diagnosed with nonmetastatic prostate cancer can generally expect to live for many years after their diagnosis. However, cardiovascular disease and other cancers remain important threats to their long-term health. For ...
Phys.org / Animal-bone records reveal how cattle and sheep fueled medieval England's changing economy
As populations expanded in medieval England, key changes occurred in the uses of cattle and sheep to produce food and materials, according to a study published Sept. 2, 2026, in the journal PLOS One by Matilda Holmes of the ...
Phys.org / Resin-mounted wallaby teeth reveal rare 1,200-year-old ornaments in Queensland
While sorting through animal bones in a rock shelter in Queensland, Australia, archaeologists came across a tooth where something was "not quite right." Stuck to the tip of its root was a blackish-brown ball of glue-like ...
Medical Xpress / Less-intensive drug combination is more effective in treating acute myeloid leukemia, clinical trial finds
Investigators from the Mass General Brigham Cancer Institute have found that adults with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) receiving a less-intensive combination of azacitidine and venetoclax had more than twice ...
Tech Xplore / Why did your robotaxi stop? New system helps predict self-driving car mistakes
Self-driving cars are often controlled by deep learning models that sometimes fail in unexpected situations. For instance, the car might inexplicably brake and block the path of an oncoming emergency vehicle. A human driver ...
Medical Xpress / Why some stroke patients fare better than others
A clot forms. Blood flow to the brain is blocked. Starved of oxygen, neurons begin to die. This scenario, known as an ischemic stroke, plays out in roughly 21,000 people worldwide each day, threatening them with long-term ...
Tech Xplore / Two molecules work together to seal microscopic gaps in perovskite solar cells
A research team has developed a dual-molecule passivation technology that simultaneously improves the efficiency and stability of inverted perovskite solar cells. The research is published in the journal ACS Applied Materials ...
Phys.org / How cells teach themselves to move together
Scientists have long wondered how cells organized into sheets begin to move together to form organs, especially when the sheets form closed, sphere-like surfaces and tissues with no edges to direct motion. Researchers at ...
Tech Xplore / Laser-printed PVC interface tracks finger direction and speed without wiring
Touchscreens and other touch-based controls, from smartphones and tablets to smart devices and wearable electronics, have become part of everyday life. However, many touch interfaces depend on batteries, external power, electrodes ...
Phys.org / Exotic pines in the Southern Hemisphere grow faster and are more drought-resistant, study reveals
A new study published in the journal Nature reveals that conifers planted outside their native range in the Southern Hemisphere not only grow up to four times faster than those in the Northern Hemisphere but also show greater ...
