Phys.org / Global warming may be a boon for this aggressive prairie plant
Climate change may reduce yields of crops like corn and soybeans, but it can also give some plants an edge. That's one of the takeaways of a recent study of tall goldenrod, a common wildflower that runs rampant in fields ...
Medical Xpress / First-in-class molecules dial down inflammation without compromising immunity
Scripps Research scientists have developed a new class of drug compounds that reduce harmful inflammation while leaving the body's ability to fight infections intact—a long-sought goal in treating autoimmune diseases. The ...
Phys.org / After milestone-rich lunar flyby, astronauts start trip home
The Artemis II astronauts wrapped up their lunar flyby as they continue their journey back to Earth on Tuesday, bringing with them rich celestial observations including little-known lunar craters, a solar eclipse and meteor ...
Medical Xpress / A new add-on for combat PTSD treatment: MRI-guided TMS significantly reduces symptoms in clinical trial
An advanced version of a procedure using magnetic fields to stimulate brain nerve cells in treating depression was significantly effective for 85% of active military and veterans suffering from combat post-traumatic stress ...
Medical Xpress / A better way to see how brain cells falter in disease
To gain better insight into what's happening in the brain, researchers examine the molecules produced by brain cells, including RNA and proteins. But existing methods for molecular profiling don't always capture the cells' ...
Phys.org / Fluorescence imaging technique reveals hidden magnetic chemistry in living systems
A research team at the University of Tokyo has developed a new microscopy platform that can observe a previously hidden layer of biomolecular chemistry linked to weak magnetic fields. The work, led by Project Researcher Noboru ...
Medical Xpress / A new AI model could help doctors detect lung cancer earlier
Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, accounting for nearly one in five cancer deaths—around 1.8 million lives lost each year. One of the main reasons is late diagnosis: in its early stages, ...
Tech Xplore / Resilient actuator shows potential for space-ready soft robots
To be safely and reliably deployed in outer space, underwater and in other extreme environments, robots need to be able to withstand harsh conditions without breaking. In addition, they should be able to promptly and rapidly ...
Tech Xplore / Solar reactor uses old battery acid to turn plastic waste into clean hydrogen
Researchers have developed a solar-powered reactor to break down hard-to-recycle forms of plastic waste—such as drink bottles, nylon textiles and polyurethane foams—using acid recovered from old car batteries, and converting ...
Medical Xpress / 'Hamelin Assay' traces molecular mechanisms that may guide cancer cell spread
Metastases are a key problem in many types of cancer. As descendants of the primary tumor, they can grow in other organs distant from the primary site and are often difficult to identify. A research team from the Institute ...
Medical Xpress / Blood-based biomarker could help stratify cancer risk in Lynch Syndrome
Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have discovered a new blood-based biomarker that can help identify and characterize asymptomatic people with Lynch Syndrome (LS) who are more susceptible to ...
Medical Xpress / Can gluten pass through a kiss? New data are reassuring
For people living with celiac disease, the fear of gluten exposure can extend beyond food—sometimes even into moments of intimacy. A new study published in Gastroenterology offers reassuring news: while gluten can be transferred ...
