Medical Xpress / Imaging study reveals widespread brain connection loss in schizophrenia
Research involving a Rutgers professor sheds new light on the biological basis of schizophrenia by directly measuring synaptic connections in the human brain using specialized positron emission tomography (PET) imaging.
Phys.org / Ancient Roman farm women made wine, oil and profits. Historians dismissed them as 'housekeepers'
Female farm managers are hidden in plain sight in ancient Roman texts, mentioned in laws, literature and grave inscriptions across five centuries. Modern historians have generally assumed they were housekeepers, in charge ...
Tech Xplore / With machine learning, researchers embrace the atomic-scale complexity of batteries
For grid-scale energy storage and national energy resilience, the U.S. needs better batteries. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) scientists are tackling that challenge in many ways, but one approach is making ...
Medical Xpress / Experimental drug may protect the heart in Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Researchers at the USF Health Morsani College of Medicine have identified a potential pathway that could protect cardiac function in people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a progressive and fatal genetic disease that ...
Medical Xpress / Microbiota dysbiosis triggers intestinal cancer stemness
Scientists at National Taiwan University College of Medicine have discovered that cancer formation is not simply caused by gene mutations. Colorectal cancers primarily originate from epithelial cells that form adenocarcinomas ...
Phys.org / Adolescent social media restrictions may reduce some harms while shifting others, warn experts
Amrit Kaur Purba and colleagues argue that social media restrictions operate within a wider system of adolescents, families, schools, governments and commercial actors—and therefore should be treated as complex systems interventions ...
Phys.org / Elephants turn footsteps into messages through ground and skull vibrations
Elephants can communicate with other elephants across distances of up to five kilometers (3 miles) by producing sounds that travel through the air. However, they have a second way of sending signals: seismic waves traveling ...
Tech Xplore / New test measures how well humanoid robots handle real-world forces
As technology advances, more is expected from humanoid robots. What were once seen as gimmicks that could walk, if not like us, then close to it, are now pulling their weight and doing more work in places like factories. ...
Medical Xpress / Second prostate-specific membrane antigen PET scan can change treatment for nearly half of prostate cancer patients
A second prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET scan changed treatment plans for nearly half of patients whose first scan was negative, according to new research published in the July issue of The Journal of Nuclear ...
Phys.org / Study reveals Hawaiian hotspot is getting hotter
Contrary to conventional geological thinking, the Hawaiian mantle plume has gotten hotter by about 250°C (480°F) over the past 47 million years. This discovery, led by Earth scientists at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa, ...
Medical Xpress / Being obese can make you more likely to be unemployed
The effect of obesity on unemployment is more than twice as large as previously thought, finds a UK Biobank study of genetic evidence.
Phys.org / New study pinpoints Europe's most critical wetlands for climate action
Wetlands have shaped human life in Europe since ancient times. These ecosystems provided essential resources and safe havens for plants and animals, and in many regions they also held spiritual and ritual significance. For ...
