Medical Xpress / New heart disease mechanism revealed: Next-generation targeted therapy shows benefit across mutation types
A study led by the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares Carlos III (CNIC), working in collaboration with an international research team, has identified a new molecular mechanism involved in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers uncover possible cause of muscle pain from widely used cholesterol medication
Millions of people rely on statins, a medication used to lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. But for some, the drugs come with an unwelcome trade-off: muscle pain, weakness and exercise intolerance ...
Phys.org / EV-SELEX speeds GPCR drug discovery by capturing receptor-bound DNA aptamers
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the most abundantly expressed proteins in the human body, regulating diverse physiological processes ranging from pain perception to hormone signaling. Owing to their central roles ...
Tech Xplore / 'Talkative batteries': Battery cells send temperature data through existing terminals, simplifying battery management
A battery that "talks" does not use words—it communicates through data. Researchers at Kiel University have demonstrated how sensors inside a battery cell can transmit measurement data to the outside without the need for ...
Phys.org / New biobased polymers exhibit excellent tensile properties beyond polyolefins
The research group of Professor Kotohiro Nomura, Tokyo Metropolitan University, in cooperation with the research groups of Senior Researcher Hiroshi Hirano and Director Seiji Higashi of the Osaka Research Institute of Industrial ...
Phys.org / How proximity steals energy from nanoresonators
Nanomechanical resonators are miniature vibrating structures on chips that oscillate at frequencies ranging from a few kilohertz to gigahertz. They are used as ultrasensitive detectors of mass and force, temperature and pressure, ...
Phys.org / Hummingbirds speed up pineapple family's evolution
Hummingbirds make bromeliad plants split into new species twice as fast as other pollinators do, scientists at the University of Reading have found. The research team gathered records of which animals pollinate 403 types ...
Phys.org / Using quantum entanglement to secure ground-to-satellite timing
From mobile phones and banking systems to aircraft, ships and emergency services, much of modern life relies on precise timing signals from satellites. Known as the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), satellites carrying ...
Phys.org / Bees 'facial expressions' may be a sign of their inner lives
It's easy for us to tell if someone is enjoying their meal or not. They lick their lips if they like it, grimace if they don't.
Phys.org / Q&A: How camera-equipped homing pigeons could improve robotic vision in flight
Contrary to common assumptions, pigeons do not lock their eyes in place during flight. Instead, they make slow, subtle eye movements that may help them gather more information about their surroundings.
Phys.org / Isotope probing shows soil is packed with dormant viruses lying in wait
A single gram of soil contains between 10 million and 1 billion viruses. Most of those viruses do not infect plants, animals or people, but they do target bacteria and other microbes. Because of their influence on microbial ...
Phys.org / More than half of Atlanta's restrooms inaccessible to the public, study finds
More than half of publicly accessible restrooms in key areas of Atlanta are unavailable to the public, according to a new study by researchers at the Georgia State University School of Public Health. The consequences of inadequate ...
