Phys.org / MOSAIC platform compiles chemistry protocols for faster drug design
Speeding up drug discovery in the age of AI may come down to a concept that's comfortingly old-fashioned: Consulting a chemistry recipe book.
Phys.org / Mercury's BepiColombo Mio and Earth's GEOTAIL show shared wave frequency properties across planetary magnetospheres
An international team from Kanazawa University (Japan), Tohoku University (Japan), LPP (France), and partners has demonstrated that chorus emissions, natural electromagnetic waves long studied in Earth's magnetosphere, also ...
Medical Xpress / AI model predicts neural network degeneration patterns in ALS progression
New research from the University of St Andrews, the University of Copenhagen and Drexel University has developed AI computational models that predict the degeneration of neural networks in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Phys.org / Catalyst selectivity as a balancing act: Co₃O₄ 'trapped' in transition shows peak activity
In a study appearing in Nature Catalysis, researchers from the Inorganic Chemistry Department of the Fritz Haber Institute reveal how structural changes on the surface and in the bulk region of the cobalt oxide catalyst Co3O4 ...
Medical Xpress / Understanding how right- or left-hand dominance could open a window into the autistic brain
Most people take for granted which hand they use to reach for a cup of coffee or a puzzle piece. However, a new study out of York University suggests that for autistic individuals, which hand they use for various tasks is ...
Phys.org / Endometrial mRNA therapy to treat infertility finds early success
Researchers from the Wilmer Eye Institute, Johns Hopkins Medicine Center for Nanomedicine—which designs nanotechnology-based platforms for clinical translation across specialties—developed a strategy for delivering therapeutic ...
Medical Xpress / Motor protein discovery in fruit flies may unlock neurodegenerative secrets
Scientists have long known that inherited neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's or motor neuron disease, can be traced back to genetic mutations. However, how they cause the diseases remains unanswered.
Medical Xpress / How our nasal passages defend against the common cold and help determine how sick we get
When a rhinovirus, the most frequent cause of the common cold, infects the lining of our nasal passages, our cells work together to fight the virus by triggering an arsenal of antiviral defenses.
Phys.org / Socio-environmental movements emerge as key global guardians of biodiversity amid rising violence
A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reveals that organized civil society and social mobilization are key, yet often unrecognized, agents of global biodiversity conservation. By analyzing ...
Medical Xpress / Weight loss in cancer: Organs respond to the disease in a coordinated way, study finds
Cachexia is a metabolic disorder that causes uncontrolled weight loss and muscle wasting in chronic diseases and cancer.
Medical Xpress / Shingles vaccine linked to slower biological aging in older adults
Shingles vaccination not only protects against the disease but may also contribute to slower biological aging in older adults, according to a new USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology study.
Phys.org / Study captures rare glimpse into urban hedgehog life—and reveals impact of feeding on garden visits
Researchers at Nottingham Trent University and Chester Zoo analyzed thousands of images from 415 gardens, alongside each garden's specific characteristics, to examine how often hedgehogs were detected and which features most ...
