Phys.org / Adjustable DNA 'shield' can control timing and rate at which mRNA produces proteins in vivo
mRNA, widely known from the COVID-19 vaccine, is not actually a "therapeutic agent," but a technology that delivers the blueprint for functional proteins in the body and induces therapeutic effects. Recently, its application ...
Phys.org / Seeing physics as a mountain landscape for classification of nonlinear systems
Imagine standing on top of a mountain. From this vantage point, we can see picturesque valleys and majestic ridges below, and streams wind their way downhill. If a drop of rain falls somewhere on this terrain, gravity guides ...
Medical Xpress / Hospital visits for hallucinogen use linked to six-fold higher risk of later mania
People who have received emergency or hospital care in Canada due to hallucinogen use have a six-fold increased risk of receiving care for mania in the next three years, according to a study published in PLOS Medicine by ...
Phys.org / Discovery of new marine sponges supports hypothesis on animal evolution
A completely new order of marine sponges has been found by researchers at the Museum of Evolution, Uppsala University. The sponge order, named Vilesida, produces substances that could be used in drug development. The same ...
Phys.org / New discoveries reveal Tell Abraq's role in ancient Persian Gulf trade
If there were a place that could be called the archaeological almanac of Saudi Arabian culture, it would be Tell Abraq, located on the west coast of the United Arab Emirates. This area contains traces of every cultural phase ...

Medical Xpress / Cell nucleus shape may influence cancer treatment success
Cancer cells with a cell nucleus that is easily deformed are more sensitive to drugs that damage DNA. These are the findings of a new study by researchers at Linköping University in Sweden. The results may also explain why ...
Medical Xpress / Pain med side effects may be masquerading as heart failure
Clinicians may fail to recognize common side effects of drugs like gabapentin—which are frequently prescribed for nerve pain—leading them to prescribe unnecessary medications that cause yet more side effects. This phenomenon, ...
