Medical Xpress / At-home blood test and brain testing could screen people for dementia risk
A finger prick blood test combined with online brain testing—all done from home—could one day effectively identify people's risk of developing dementia, according to a new study.
Medical Xpress / RNA blood markers may reveal illness trajectory and treatment success within days
Scientists are developing a test which could one day be used to predict how a patient's illness will progress, and even how well they will respond to treatment. The international team, led by researchers at Imperial College ...
Phys.org / As sargassum floods Florida beaches, researchers uncover new use as food-grade ingredient
As record-breaking amounts of sargassum seaweed drift toward Florida's shores, researchers at Florida International University are exploring how the coastal nuisance could become a valuable ingredient in everyday foods.
Phys.org / How missing information can misinform
Readers don't need false information to get the wrong idea. In the online attention economy, UC San Diego research finds that making science more clickable or shareable can help some readers learn more—but leaves many others ...
Phys.org / Magnon lifetime extended 100x paves the way for mini quantum computers
Magnons are tiny waves in magnetization that travel through solid magnetic materials, much like the ripples that spread across a pond when a stone is thrown into it. Unlike photons, which travel through empty space or optical ...
Medical Xpress / Fish reveal four distinct sleep states, including three with eye movements
Humans and other mammals cycle through distinct sleep phases. One of them is easily recognized by the darting motion of the eyes behind closed lids, giving it its name: REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. This is the state in ...
Phys.org / Federal grant terminations disproportionately impact minority scientists, study finds
Researchers from University of California San Diego Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health and Human Longevity Science have found that recent federal grant terminations targeting research on health equity and gender identity ...
Phys.org / Magnetic fields can 'revive' superconductivity in nickelates, research reveals
A research team led by Professor Denver Li Danfeng, Associate Dean (Research and Postgraduate Education) of the College of Science and Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK), ...
Medical Xpress / Hidden reservoir may drive brain cancer relapse in 65% of patients
All types of brain cancers collectively have a five-year survival rate of just 33%, according to the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program. For a type of brain cancer called glioblastoma, ...
Phys.org / Troubled waters: Jakarta battles deadly, invasive suckerfish
Mounds of slimy carcasses pile up on a riverbank in Jakarta where authorities are fighting an uphill battle against a fast-breeding invasive fish flourishing in Java island's heavily polluted waterways.
Medical Xpress / Can AI forecast immune responses? New benchmark shows where predictions hold up and fail
Artificial intelligence is increasingly being used to help scientists accelerate drug discovery and search for new treatments. But for AI tools to work effectively, researchers need to know whether they can be validated and ...
Phys.org / Study seeks to stave off mitochondrial dysfunction believed to cause aging
Dysfunction resulting from mitochondrial DNA mutations has been implicated in multiple human pathologies, including neurodegenerative disorders, metabolic syndromes, cancer and cardiovascular disease. The stress from mtDNA ...
