Medical Xpress / Estrogen-only hormone therapy associated with lower risk of dementia
Use of hormone therapy later in life was associated with a lower risk of developing dementia, according to a study published in Neurology.
Phys.org / Perceived naturalness emerges as key driver of public support for climate technology
From nuclear energy to lab-grown meat, the list of effective but unpopular climate solutions is long. A new University of Colorado Boulder study sheds light on why people reject or accept some proposed sustainability technologies: ...
Medical Xpress / Dysregulated immune cells may cause silent inflammation after heart attack
Coronary artery disease, which is caused by plaque buildup in the arteries that supply blood to the heart, can appear stable for long periods without causing any symptoms. But the disease can become unstable at any time and ...
Medical Xpress / As Candida auris spreads, scientist highlights growing threat of antifungal resistance
As cases of the potentially deadly drug-resistant fungal infection Candida auris have spread to 27 states, including Texas, which has the second-highest number, a scientist at UT Health San Antonio, the academic health center ...
Medical Xpress / AI maps tumor cells that may seed later metastases
A cancerous tumor is not a single enemy. It is made up of many different cell populations that can behave in very different ways. Among them, even at the time of diagnosis, there may already be cells that months or years ...
Phys.org / Controlled cracking technique prints quantum dots into tiny pixels for sharper displays
Recent technological advances have enabled the development of increasingly sophisticated, sharper displays for electronic devices. Many modern displays use light-emitting diodes, or LEDs, tiny semiconductor-based components ...
Medical Xpress / Lead-contaminated soil tracked indoors can create hazardous indoor conditions even in houses without lead paint
Lead contamination in soil tracked inside homes can cause dangerous indoor lead dust levels even in residences with no interior lead-based paint, according to researchers with the Rutgers Environmental, Occupational and Health ...

Medical Xpress / Restoring inhibitory neuron plasticity may reverse neurodevelopmental disorder symptoms, preclinical study suggests
Some of the symptoms of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), such as autism spectrum disorder and epilepsy, may result from dysfunction of certain neurons in the brain and their ability to change their properties in response ...
Phys.org / New contactless method reveals how mirror-image materials respond differently to light
New research introduces a contactless way to see how mirror-image materials respond differently to circularly polarized light, without first building them into a complete electronic device. The researchers developed a novel ...
