Phys.org / Scientists map how the flu virus rewires the human cell from the inside
Researchers at EMBL Hamburg and collaborators at the Leibniz Research Institute for Molecular Pharmacology (FMP) have mapped how the influenza A virus rewires infected human cells in unprecedented detail. To do this, the ...
Phys.org / Rare sighting reveals Arctic bobtail squid and egg masses in subzero Greenland fjord
Marine biologists have observed the Arctic bobtail squid in its natural habitat in the North Atlantic Ocean for the first time, including the rare discovery of a mature female with eggs. Dr Paige Maroni, from The University ...
Phys.org / How the most widespread parasite on Earth reads its genome
A parasite carried by billions of people worldwide often causes harmful infections during pregnancy and in immunocompromised individuals and is a leading infectious cause of blindness in South America. Once it enters the ...
Phys.org / A native California wildflower isn't keeping up with climate change
The mountain jewelflower inhabits a wide swath of California and Oregon, from summer-scorched foothills to high mountains where snow falls during winter. But it is already suffering from climate change, with plants in the ...
Phys.org / Study shows nutrient loss in vineyards can be attributed to factors beyond fruit harvest
New research from Washington State University could help grape growers improve nutrient use efficiency and develop a more accurate fertilizer budget, helping ensure high fruit quality, vineyard productivity and long-term ...
Medical Xpress / Coffee and heart health: How many cups of caffeinated coffee are safe to drink each day?
Previous studies have found that caffeine is the world's most popular stimulant and psychoactive substance, and coffee is the most common way people consume caffeine. The latest research supports the conclusion that, for ...
Medical Xpress / Heavy TV watching associated with smaller brain structures, study finds
"Turn off that TV, it'll rot your brain!" has been a household refrain for decades. While "rot" might be too strong a term, researchers are finding that the overall sentiment could have some merit.
Medical Xpress / Availability of generic semaglutide removes barrier to affordable diabetes care, experts predict
In a novel analysis examining the economic implications of generic semaglutide entering the Canadian market, researchers predict that anticipated price reductions of up to 70% will dramatically increase both the cost-effectiveness ...
Phys.org / Underwater drones discover coral reefs off Benin, long presumed dead, teeming with life
A coral reef, missing and presumed dead, has been found alive and well off the coast of Benin. Surveys in the 1960s, focused on identifying promising fishing areas, flagged a possible deep-water coral reef but assumed it ...
Tech Xplore / Mechanical engineers develop buttons that rise with light
No wires. No actuators. Shine light on the metal surface, and it rises like a button. KAIST researchers have developed a metal structure that changes shape using light, without any light-absorbing coating. This technology ...
Medical Xpress / Hidden cell network offers new clues to intestinal healing and disease
Your intestine completely rebuilds its inner lining every few days—one of the fastest renewal processes in the human body. Scientists have now discovered that this extraordinary feat is accompanied by a hidden network of ...
Phys.org / Molecules stop carbon nanotubes clumping, unlocking record heat-to-electricity performance
QUT researchers have overcome a challenge that has limited next-generation energy-harvesting materials for more than two decades, opening the door to more powerful wearable electronics and new ways of turning wasted heat ...
