Medical Xpress / Chronic traumatic encephalopathy symptom checklist misses the mark in 75% of cases, autopsies show
Most people who met proposed clinical criteria meant to identify chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) during life did not show hallmark brain changes of the disease at autopsy. The findings raise concerns that widespread ...
Phys.org / AI generates first complete models of proteins in motion
Many drug and antibody discovery pathways focus on intricately folded cell membrane proteins. When molecules of a drug candidate bind to these proteins, like a key going into a lock, they trigger chemical cascades that alter ...
Phys.org / Electrified route to epoxides could cut costs and pollution with common catalyst
When you hear the word "epoxide," what do you think? If anything, likely "glue." But epoxides are quite common in our everyday lives. You might be sitting on a foam seat cushion made from epoxides. There is a good chance ...
Phys.org / Fair matching systems can still produce unequal outcomes, new research finds
A computerized matching system can be designed to be fair and still produce unequal outcomes if the people using it do not understand how it works, according to new research published in Organization Science that shows that ...
Phys.org / How a single star can reshape an entire galaxy
Astronomers who simulate galaxies do not always get the same result, even when they start from identical conditions. New research from Leiden University shows that this is not a flaw, but a consequence of how galaxies behave—and ...
Medical Xpress / Heart disease risk may start in the womb
A child's future heart health may be partially shaped before they are born, reports a new Northwestern Medicine study that found pregnancy complications are linked to poorer cardiovascular health in offspring more than 20 ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers identify molecule linked to treatment-resistant inflammatory bowel disease
Mayo Clinic researchers have identified an immune-regulating molecule that may help explain why some patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, do not respond to commonly ...
Phys.org / Despotic primate societies rarely play as adults, analysis of 37 species reveals
Although about half of primate species play as adults with other adults, a team of international researchers has just unlocked a key factor in the reason why some don't. The answer lies in the type of society in which the ...
Phys.org / Researchers identify enzyme that prevents chromosome breaks during DNA copying
Researchers at The University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) have identified how a key enzyme called ATR protects DNA from breaking when cells copy damaged genetic material, a discovery that could affect how certain cancer ...
Phys.org / How temperature changes light: New model could guide smarter LEDs, sensors and photonic devices
Technion researchers have developed, for the first time, a comprehensive physical model explaining how the properties of a radiating material, including absorption, emission, and quantum efficiency, affect the fundamental ...
Phys.org / Deep beneath Swiss Alps, researchers trigger 8,000 tiny quakes in controlled test
Researchers have made the ground shake in southern Switzerland, triggering thousands of tiny earthquakes in a monitored setting, as they seek to discover seismicity insights that could reduce risks.
Phys.org / NASA draws on industry for Mars telecommunications network
On Thursday, NASA issued a Request for Proposal (RFP), seeking industry collaboration for the Mars Telecommunications Network.
