Medical Xpress / Immune protein emerges as possible target to slow Parkinson's progression
Monoclonal antibodies can block a key immune-related protein that drives the spread of brain cell damage in Parkinson's disease (PD). This protein, called glycoprotein nonmetastatic melanoma B (GPNMB), might be part of a ...
Science X / 60 years of data reveal the biggest source of workplace stress
It's not uncommon to come across job descriptions on portals that are lengthy, yet leave the reader with little clarity about what the role actually involves. Uncertainty about one's role at work may be more damaging than ...
Phys.org / Fire that scorched African mountain range was unprecedented in the last 12,000 years, research shows
In 2012, a wildfire ripped through 42 square kilometers of alpine moorland in Africa's Rwenzori Mountains, a range of glaciated peaks on the border of Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The blaze, which occurred ...
Phys.org / Why heavier rain can mean less usable water as global warming intensifies

A long-overlooked stretch of the human genome appears to play a distinct role in shaping the social and stereotypic repetitive behaviors that define autism spectrum disorder (ASD), without affecting learning or other cognitive ...
Medical Xpress / Wearable polygraph tracks hidden stress through five body signals in real time
Northwestern University engineers have developed a small, wireless polygraph system you can wear. Unlike polygraphs used in television crime dramas, this wearable version isn't optimized to detect lies. Instead, engineers ...
