Researchers at the University of Cincinnati Gardner Neuroscience Institute's Brain Tumor Center have been confirmed as the first in the world to achieve complete remission of a rare pituitary cancer using a novel immunotherapy ...
Medical Xpress / Sustained reduction in abdominal fat can preserve cognitive function
A long-term MRI study demonstrates that lower accumulation of abdominal fat (visceral fat), measured throughout the entire follow-up period, is associated with a significant slowing of brain atrophy, preservation of key brain ...
Medical Xpress / Virtual reality sessions can help autistic people navigate police encounters more effectively
A new study led by researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and St. Joseph's University found that an innovative virtual reality intervention was helpful for improving interactions between autistic teens and adults ...
Medical Xpress / Exercise benefits every area of your body, and these hormones are the reason why

Phys.org / Blue Origin moon lander completes testing at NASA vacuum chamber
Also known as Endurance, MK1 is an uncrewed cargo lander. It's a commercial demonstration mission to advance Human Landing System capabilities in support of NASA's Artemis program. The tests in Chamber A represent a public-private ...
Phys.org / A quiet Alaska fault is missing the fluids scientists expected, and it's changing what we know about earthquake zones
Not all earthquake faults behave the same. Some stick and snap, causing earthquakes. Others move slowly over time.
Phys.org / Eucalyptus bark points the way to cleaner water and air
Eucalyptus bark, usually stripped from logs and treated as waste, could be repurposed to help clean polluted water, filter dirty air and capture carbon dioxide, according to new research from RMIT University. Researchers ...
Tech Xplore / New understanding of insect flight points way to stable flapping-wing robots
The way bugs and birds flap their wings may look effortless, but the dynamics that keep them aloft are dizzyingly complex and difficult to quantify. Cornell researchers have created a computational model that shows the effect ...
