Medical Xpress / No decline in childhood cancer survival in Sweden during the pandemic
During the COVID-19 pandemic, there were global concerns that children with cancer might experience delayed diagnoses and disruptions to treatment, which in turn could worsen prognosis. However, a new register-based study ...
Phys.org / PFAS exposure greater in wet pet food, study suggests
Ehime University investigators measured 34 per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in 100 commercial dog and cat foods sold in Japan and detected PFAS across many products, with higher concentrations in fish-based foods and dry ...
Medical Xpress / A promising potential therapeutic strategy for Rett syndrome
A team of researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and the Duncan Neurological Research Institute (Duncan NRI) at Texas Children's Hospital reports in Science Translational Medicine a potential new approach to treat Rett ...
Phys.org / Nitrous oxide, a product of fertilizer use, may harm some soil bacteria
Plant growth is supported by millions of tiny soil microbes competing and cooperating with each other as they perform important roles at the plant root, including improving access to nutrients and protecting against pathogens. ...
Phys.org / Black Death 'rewilding' did not boost biodiversity, study suggests
The bubonic plague, which swept across Europe between 1347 and 1353, is estimated to have killed up to one half of the continent's population. The sudden loss of life led to the abandonment of farms, villages and fields, ...
Tech Xplore / A more durable direct air capture approach: Electrified mineral-based system resists oxygen and humidity
Many governments and businesses worldwide have been trying to devise effective initiatives aimed at mitigating climate change and global warming. So far, their primary focus has been to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide ...
Medical Xpress / Stem cells from human baby teeth show promise for treating cerebral palsy
A Japanese research team has demonstrated in rat experiments that stem cells from human primary tooth pulp may help treat chronic-phase cerebral palsy. "This is the first animal study to show that stem cell treatment works ...
Phys.org / Freshwater fish are more resilient to rising temperatures than marine fish, ecologists find
Fish that live in rivers, ditches, and streams are better able to withstand warming water than fish in the sea. This is the conclusion of research by ecologist Wilco Verberk of Radboud University. "It is important not to ...

Phys.org / Quantum dynamics show 'memory' depends on whether states or observables evolve
An international group of researchers have investigated the role of memory in quantum systems and dynamics. Their findings show that a quantum process can appear memoryless from one perspective while retaining memory from ...
Phys.org / Poking a nanostring: Scientists uncover energy cascades in tiny resonators
Scientists at TU Delft have designed a nanostring that, when poked, doesn't lose its energy to the environment immediately. Instead, the energy leaks out within the string, triggering a cascade of distinct vibrational modes. ...
