Medical Xpress / Tubulin prevents toxic protein clumps in the brain, fighting back against neurodegeneration
Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have discovered a potential new strategy to fight back against Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, conditions that are linked to the toxic accumulation of Tau and alpha synuclein ...
Phys.org / Overshoot reshapes climate strategies—but the path to net zero remains unchanged
Temporary overshoot of global temperature targets—particularly the 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement—is no longer just a modeling concept. New research, published in Nature Climate Change and led by the Euro-Mediterranean ...
Phys.org / What's inside neutron stars? New model could sharpen gravitational-wave 'tide' clues
Neutron stars harbor some of the most extreme environments in the universe: their densities soar to several times those of atomic nuclei, and they possess some of the strongest gravitational fields of any known objects, surpassed ...
Phys.org / Simultaneously decoding the transcriptome, epigenome and 3D genome within a single cell
The origin of many diseases begins at the cellular level and involves multiple molecular interactions. However, previous methods have struggled to accurately observe changes in individual cells. Analyzing average values across ...
Medical Xpress / Ketone supplementation improves immunotherapy outcomes in mice, with human clinical trial underway
A naturally occurring byproduct of liver metabolism—the ketone body, β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB)—can strengthen the fitness and antitumor activity of CAR T cells. The findings, reported on March 6, 2026 in the journal Cell, ...
Medical Xpress / Empathy's roots in parenting? Study in mice reveals brain circuits behind why we comfort others
Humans and animals share a remarkable capacity to sense when others are in distress and respond with comforting behavior. But the motivation for doing so, and why it sometimes breaks down, has been poorly understood. UCLA ...
Phys.org / Water-window X-rays without a synchrotron: How graphite flakes could shrink bioimaging tools
Researchers from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have found a new way to produce X-rays with wavelengths in what is called the "water window." This new method holds promise in making bioimaging ...
Dialog / Can we observe Earth-like exoplanets from our own planet?
Finding Earth-like planets orbiting sun-like stars and identifying signs of life such as oxygen or water is a major goal in astronomy and a key interest for the public. Addressing this challenge speaks directly to one of ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers detect complex emotions by combining multiple optical signals
Researchers have developed a new way to recognize human emotions by combining fiber-based physiological signals with thermal images of the face. The portable emotional recognition system could eventually be used to support ...
Medical Xpress / Open-source, privacy-focused platform aims to help researchers examine how digital interactions influence health
Numerous sensors allow smartphones to silently witness everything we do, says Ian Kim, a postdoctoral fellow in psychology at Stanford University. They count each smartphone owner's steps, measure their sleep, record where ...
Medical Xpress / New study shows how sickle cell affects brain function
Sickle cell disease is often thought of solely as a blood disorder, but new research from the Wood Neuro Research Group provides measurable evidence that it can reshape how brain networks function. Previous neuroimaging studies ...
Medical Xpress / How do GLP-1 agonists affect gene expression?
GLP-1s are building a reputation as "wonder drugs." First characterized for their ability to improve insulin release and treat diabetes, the drugs were later found to promote weight loss and improve cardiovascular health. ...
