Medical Xpress / Can biology reveal parental manipulation?
Parental alienation is when one parent manipulates the child into distancing themselves from the other parent. But does this leave detectable biological evidence?
Medical Xpress / Maternal microbiome compound may hold key to preventing liver disease
Children born to mothers who consume a high-fat, high-sugar diet during pregnancy and breastfeeding face a higher risk of developing fatty liver disease later in life.
Phys.org / CRISPR–Cas3 genome-editing system holds therapeutic potential
Genetic disorders occur due to alterations in the primary genetic material—deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)—of an organism.
Phys.org / Why don't antibiotic-making bacteria self-destruct?
Early in 2025, scientists discovered a promising new antibiotic in a soil sample from a lab technician's backyard. The molecule, called lariocidin, is produced by the microbe Paenibacillus and shows broad activity against ...
Phys.org / Detailed map reveals groundwater levels across the U.S.
How much fresh water is in the United States? It's a tough question, since most of the water is underground, accessible at varying depths. In previous decades, it's been answered indirectly from data on rainfall and evaporation. ...
Phys.org / What happens when fire ignites in space? 'A ball of flame'
When fire breaks out in the low-gravity, high-stakes conditions inside spacecraft or space stations, it behaves very differently than back here on Earth.
Phys.org / Rocks and rolls: The computational infrastructure of earthquakes and physics of planetary science
Sometimes to truly study something up close, you have to take a step back. That's what Andrea Donnellan does. An expert in Earth sciences and seismology, she gets much of her data from a bird's-eye view, studying the planet's ...
Phys.org / Researchers film foraging strategy of wood mice choosing between healthy and moth-damaged chestnuts
A mouse scurries up to six chestnuts. Three look healthy. Three have exit holes where moth larvae ate the insides before they left. What does the mouse do?
Medical Xpress / Gut bacteria molecule boosts lung cancer treatment response
UF Health Cancer Institute researchers have discovered a small compound produced naturally by gut bacteria that doubled the response to lung cancer immunotherapy treatment in mice and can now be made into a drug for testing ...
Phys.org / Atomic-level surface control boosts brightness of eco-friendly nanosemiconductors by 18-fold
Light-emitting semiconductors are used throughout everyday life in TVs, smartphones, and lighting. However, many technical barriers remain in developing environmentally friendly semiconductor materials.
Medical Xpress / Age-specific treatments for the same infection may be critical as antibiotic resistance crisis intensifies
Dealing with an infection isn't as straightforward as simply killing the pathogen. The body also needs to carefully steer and monitor its immune response to prevent collateral damage. This regulation, called disease tolerance, ...
Phys.org / Bulk inorganic crystals grown from water emit 'handed' light
Researchers at Kumamoto University have discovered that a purely inorganic crystal grown from water solution can emit circularly polarized light, a special form of light whose "handedness" distinguishes left from right.
