Medical Xpress / Osteoporosis fractures fall by 94% in small first-in-human stem cell trial
Somewhere in the world, a woman over 50 will have fractured a bone by the time you finish reading this sentence due to osteoporosis, a silent bone disease that can weaken the structural integrity of the skeletal system and ...
Phys.org / Predominantly online friendships linked to greater support for white nationalism
From social media to the streets of Washington, D.C., the organized white nationalist movement has become more visible in the United States over the past few decades. But the extent of this extremist movement's appeal to ...
Phys.org / Ice Age carvers used mammoth tusk patterns to create unique art, study finds
Intricate designs engraved across the surface of 18,000-year-old female figurines carved from mammoth ivory were inspired by the distinctive growth patterns visible in the tusks, a new study published in the journal npj Heritage ...
Phys.org / Webb measures extreme gas outflows from distant 'dead' galaxies
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have measured the most powerful gas outflow ever recorded from a "dead" galaxy outside our cosmic neighborhood and found that even outflows this extreme may not be enough to ...
Medical Xpress / Augmented eye clinic shows why AI-native systems work where standalone algorithms don't
AI in eye care is set to take a new leap with an AI-native rather than assisted approach. Researchers have developed a new tool that moves beyond the conventional model of deploying AI as isolated, standalone tools for individual ...
Phys.org / Spring-like porous crystals could enable chemically responsive microscale materials
Crystals are usually imagined as rigid objects with flat faces and straight edges. A research team led by the University of Osaka has recently created a porous crystal that grows into a spring-like helix. The team also found ...
Medical Xpress / New mechanism reveals how atypical E. coli maintain their ability to infect
A new study shows how a type of disease-causing E. coli can quickly adapt when it loses one of its main ways of attaching to the intestine. The bacteria either change shape or make small changes to a protein that strengthens ...

Phys.org / How some cyclists paradoxically start 'from rest' with a non-zero velocity
Some track cyclists appear to break the rules of physics, but a new study, published in the journal Royal Society Open Science, has created a model explaining the illusion. The results suggest that a quick succession of well-timed ...
Medical Xpress / Stable frontal signals, flexible hippocampal ones: How the brain preserves context as goals change
While humans are completing a task, they can temporarily store information in their minds while also manipulating and adapting it based on changing circumstances. To support this capability, known as working memory, the brain ...
