Homelessness and opioid use disorder are two widespread public health problems in the United States. Providing housing and supportive services, without requiring drug treatment, is a surprisingly cost-effective approach to ...
Tech Xplore / Researchers launch open-source robotic exoskeleton to help people walk
Imagine a future in which people with disabilities can walk on their own, thanks to robotic legs. A new project from Northern Arizona University is accelerating that future with an open-source robotic exoskeleton.
Medical Xpress / Crohn's disease investigational treatment shows potential for achieving remission
Cedars-Sinai investigators have developed an investigational therapy that brought a significant number of patients with moderate to severe Crohn's disease into remission, according to a new study published in The Lancet Gastroenterology ...
Medical Xpress / Attention scan: How our minds shift focus in dynamic settings
A person's capacity for attention has a profound impact on what they see, dictating which details they glean from the world around them. As they walk down a busy street, the focus of their attention may shift to a compelling ...
Phys.org / Do you have a nosy coworker? Research finds snooping colleagues send our stress levels rising
They're a common office menace: the nosy coworker. They read over shoulders, loiter as friends chitchat, ask uncomfortable personal questions. It can be tempting to duck for cover whenever you see them heading your way.
Phys.org / 'Microbial Noah's Ark' ramps up to save Earth's invisible life forms
A global effort to create a "microbial Noah's Ark" to preserve the world's diverse collection of healthy microbes before they disappear is now entering an active growth phase.
Phys.org / Beyond the crystal: Dynamic model captures loop flexibility in swine virus drug design
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) continues to devastate the global swine industry, yet the structural basis of how small molecules block its entry into host cells remains unclear. Researchers at ...
Phys.org / Scientists complete the most thorough analysis yet of India's genetic diversity
With around 5,000 different ethno-linguistic and religious groups, India is one of the most culturally and genetically diverse countries in the world. Yet, it remains underrepresented in genomic surveys, even when compared ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists create functional 3D-printed human islets for type 1 diabetes treatment
A team of international scientists has made a major leap forward in diabetes research by successfully 3D printing functional human islets using a novel bioink. Presented today at the ESOT Congress 2025, the new technology ...
Medical Xpress / Sex-specific pathway driving melanoma metastasis discovered, with implications across female cancer treatments
Institut Curie researchers have identified a sex-specific molecular pathway connecting E-cadherin loss, estrogen receptor-α (ERα), and GRPR, contributing significantly to increased melanoma metastasis in women.
Medical Xpress / How a faulty transport protein in the brain can trigger severe epilepsy
Citrate is essential for the metabolism and development of neurons. A membrane transport protein called SLC13A5 plays a central role in this process and has previously been linked to a particularly severe form of epileptic ...
Medical Xpress / Predicting 'sleep learning': Neural activity patterns reveal conditions for strengthening synaptic connections
In the cerebral cortex, numerous neurons exchange information through junctions known as synapses. The strength of each synaptic connection changes depending on the activity levels of the neurons involved, and these changes ...
