Medical Xpress / How a unique class of neurons may set the table for brain development
The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens. A new study by researchers in The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory at MIT that focused ...
Tech Xplore / AI and high-throughput testing reveal stability limits in organic redox flow batteries
In numerous scientific fields, high-throughput experimentation methods combined with artificial intelligence (AI) show great promise to accelerate innovation and scientific discovery.
Medical Xpress / Bacterial toxin can counteract colorectal cancer growth
A toxin secreted by cholera bacteria can inhibit the growth of colorectal cancer without causing any measurable damage to the body. This is shown by a new study by researchers at Umeå University, Sweden. Systemic administration ...
Tech Xplore / Free tool can reduce harmful engagement with AI-generated explicit images
A new evidence-based online educational tool aims to curb the watching, sharing, and creation of AI-generated explicit imagery.
Phys.org / Learning about public consensus on climate change does little to boost people's support for action, study shows
Providing accurate information about the climate crisis can help to correct misperceptions about how much public support exists for action.
Medical Xpress / Gut bacteria molecule boosts lung cancer treatment response
UF Health Cancer Institute researchers have discovered a small compound produced naturally by gut bacteria that doubled the response to lung cancer immunotherapy treatment in mice and can now be made into a drug for testing ...
Medical Xpress / Customizable stainless steel neural probes enable safer, less expensive brain sensing
The human brain is complex. Understanding deep brain function usually requires the insertion of probes that frequently result in irreversible tissue damage. Current neural probes are made out of silicon, a brittle material ...
Tech Xplore / Fragmented permitting slows US clean energy projects, study finds
As states race to build wind and solar projects needed to curb climate change, how governments approve those projects can either speed construction or fuel delays and conflict, according to a new study by researchers at the ...
Medical Xpress / Specialized clinic visits reverse population weight gain in statewide pilot test
For years, endocrinologist Leigh Perreault, MD, felt there had to be a better way to help patients with weight management than sending them home with advice to change their diet and increase their exercise.
Medical Xpress / Study finds high blood pressure primes heart for damage from cancer drugs
Anthracyclines are among the most widely used chemotherapy drugs and have been a mainstay of cancer treatment for more than 30 years. Their extraordinary efficacy against numerous solid and hematologic tumors means that they ...
Medical Xpress / Extremely elevated lipoprotein(a) levels tied to 30-year heart risk in women
Brigham and Women's Hospital investigators link very high lipoprotein(a) with a higher 30-year risk of major cardiovascular events in initially healthy women.
Tech Xplore / How policy, people, and power interact to determine the future of the electric grid
When energy researchers talk about the future of the grid, they often focus on individual pieces: solar panels, batteries, nuclear plants, or new transmission lines. But in a recent study, urban systems researcher Anton Rozhkov ...
