Phys.org / Movement signatures: How we move, gesture and use facial expressions could be as unique as a fingerprint
The way someone walks, talks, smiles, or gestures gives a clue to who they are. Whether through the flick of an eyebrow, the rhythm of our walk, or the tilt of a head, movement speaks volumes.
Medical Xpress / Clinical trial reveals unprecedented insights into brain cancer treatment
Victorian brain cancer researchers have achieved a global-first, using an innovative process to learn how a new drug suppresses tumor activity and provides hope to patients with low-grade gliomas (LGG).
Phys.org / Q&A: Family webs may capture evolutionary change in plants better than family trees
This month, George Tiley began his NC State appointment as an assistant professor of plant and microbial biology. Right before his Aug. 1 start date, Tiley and colleagues published a Perspectives piece in the Proceedings ...
Phys.org / Ultrack and inTRACKtive: A powerful pair of tools to help track cells through embryonic development
With today's advanced microscopes, scientists can capture videos of entire embryos developing in real time. But there's a catch: turning those breathtaking images into clean, accurate trajectories of each cell's journey as ...
Phys.org / Bacteria strains infecting cattle and humans in the US are highly similar
Salmonella Dublin is a type of bacteria that primarily infects cattle, but some strains also can adapt to infect humans. It is increasingly becoming resistant to antibiotics, making it a growing public health threat, according ...
Medical Xpress / Broken bones regrow quickly with help of biodegradable scaffold that releases nutrients
For most broken bones, bone cells regrow on their own while patients wear a cast or brace to keep the injury steady. But for complex or severe fractures, surgeons may intervene by placing grafts or scaffolds made of biocompatible ...
Medical Xpress / Open-label Phase II trial reports early motor milestones with risdiplam
From Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Charlotte J. Sumner, M.D., presents an editorial on a study by Richard S. Finkel and colleagues, who report an open-label, Phase II trial of the pre-messenger RNA splicing ...
Medical Xpress / Two thirds of reproductive-aged women have at least one modifiable risk factor for birth defects, study reveals
An analysis using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) among 5,374 women of reproductive age indicates that two thirds of women within this demographic have at least one modifiable risk ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists discover new '3D genome organizer' linked to fertility and cancer
A research team at Kyoto University has discovered STAG3-cohesin, a new mitotic cohesin complex that helps establish the unique DNA architecture of spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs), the stem cells that give rise to sperm. ...
Tech Xplore / AI method reconstructs 3D scene details from simulated images using inverse rendering
Over the past decades, computer scientists have developed many computational tools that can analyze and interpret images. These tools have proved useful for a broad range of applications, including robotics, autonomous driving, ...
Phys.org / Idaho poisoned Snake River for invasive mussels: Was it worth 'heartbreaking' loss?
The invasive quagga mussels found in an Idaho river in 2023 were microscopic. But to state officials, their presence was enormous.
Phys.org / What, exactly, is space-time?
Few ideas in modern science have reshaped our understanding of reality more profoundly than space-time—the interwoven fabric of space and time at the heart of Albert Einstein's theory of relativity.
