Medical Xpress / Keeping HIV at bay: New approach explores broadly neutralizing antibodies to treat infants
In the ongoing effort to find new therapeutics for infants born infected with the human immunodeficiency virus, an international team of investigators has discovered that babies can tolerate treatment with anti-HIV antibodies.
Phys.org / What really controls water chemistry in nanoscale spaces
Water is the most studied molecule on Earth, yet a surprisingly basic question has gone unanswered for decades: When water is squeezed into gaps just a few molecules wide—as happens inside nanoscale pores, membranes and biological ...
Medical Xpress / Behavioral therapy can be just as effective as medication for Tourette syndrome, says researcher
Behavioral therapy is just as effective as medication for Tourette syndrome. This is the finding of doctoral research conducted by clinical psychologist Jolande van de Griendt, who will receive her Ph.D. from Radboud University ...
Medical Xpress / New tool helps uncover rare genetic mutations in common diseases, including Parkinson's
Studies of genetics conducted in yeast cells, human neurons, mice or other model systems often reveal networks of genes that could contribute to complex diseases, such as breast cancer, type 2 diabetes and Parkinson's disease. ...
Phys.org / Natural hallucinogens may have evolved as ecological tools, not chemical accidents
Natural hallucinogens, such as psilocybin, mescaline, N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) and related compounds, have generally received attention for their effects on human perception, emotion and cognition. Recently, interest ...
Phys.org / Laser-based 3D imaging system enables precise detection and quantification of methane leakage
A research team led by Prof. Zhang Zhirong from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a high-performance laser-based three-dimensional methane gas cloud imaging telemetry ...
Phys.org / Sugar-coated nanoparticles show promise for treating most aggressive form of brain cancer
Researchers at Oregon State University have potentially found a new way to treat the most aggressive form of brain cancer, glioblastoma, whose two-year survival rate is less than 30%.
Medical Xpress / Modular coatings customize hydrogel implants to boost adhesion and limit fibrosis
Researchers led by Jiawei Yang, Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering, have designed a modular system that could potentially improve hydrogel implants ...
Phys.org / Seven exotic quantum phases predicted in ultracold magnetic atoms, including topological superconductivity
Strongly interacting quantum particles are key to some of the most fascinating phenomena in modern physics—from magnetism and superconductivity to topological states. Yet the complexity of such systems makes many of their ...
Medical Xpress / Dual human antibodies stop lethal Nipah and Hendra even after infection begins
An international research team led by investigators in the Department of Microbiology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai has developed the first fully human monoclonal antibody cocktail shown to provide complete ...
Phys.org / Ancient asteroid barrage may explain why early Earth had no stable continents
New research led by Curtin University and QUT (Queensland University of Technology) has revealed that repeated asteroid impacts may have been the dominant force shaping early Earth, delivering vast amounts of heat into the ...
Phys.org / Inorganic nanoscale device behaves like a single neuron, opening doors for AI and retinal implants
McGill University researchers have developed a light-detecting nanoscale structure that mimics how a neuron processes information. The neuron-like behavior emerges from the materials themselves, reducing the energy demand ...
