Medical Xpress / Focused ultrasound passes first test in treatment of pediatric brain cancer
Columbia University researchers are the first to show that focused ultrasound—a noninvasive technique that uses sound waves to enhance the delivery of drugs into the brain—can be safely used in children being treated ...
Medical Xpress / How watching dance activates your brain
Dance styles engage the brain in different ways depending on the movements, aesthetics, and emotions associated with the dance, according to a study published in Nature Communications. The findings offer insights into the ...
Medical Xpress / One of the world's oldest blood pressure drugs may also halt aggressive brain tumor growth
A Penn-led team has revealed how hydralazine, one of the world's oldest blood pressure drugs and a mainstay treatment for preeclampsia, works at the molecular level. In doing so, they made a surprising discovery—it can ...
Phys.org / Open spaces in cities may be hotspots for coyote-human interaction
Open semi-natural settings in urban areas—like parks and golf courses teeming with plants and small mammals—are possible hotspots for interaction between coyotes and humans, a new study suggests.
Phys.org / The first-ever common language for cannabis and hemp aromas
Researchers have taken a significant step toward creating a standardized language for describing the aromas of cannabis and hemp.
Phys.org / Using AI to predict earthquakes: Machine learning detects subtle changes before lab-scale fault failures
Predicting earthquakes has long been an unattainable fantasy. Factors like odd animal behaviors that have historically been thought to forebode earthquakes are not supported by empirical evidence. As these factors often occur ...
Medical Xpress / How a key protein helps drive healthy longevity by maintaining a precise balance
Researchers at Bar-Ilan University have discovered how the longevity-associated protein Sirt6 orchestrates a delicate molecular balancing act that protects the body from age-related decline and disease. The new findings, ...
Phys.org / Physicists drive antihydrogen breakthrough at CERN with record trapping technique
Physicists from Swansea University have played the leading role in a scientific breakthrough at CERN, developing an innovative technique that increases the antihydrogen trapping rate by a factor of ten.
Medical Xpress / Asymptomatic carriers revealed: Computer model outperforms traditional contact tracing for drug-resistant infections
A new analytical tool can improve a hospital's ability to limit the spread of antibiotic-resistant infections over traditional methods like contact tracing, according to a new study led by researchers at Columbia University ...
Phys.org / Rocks on faults can heal following seismic movement, scientists discover
Earthquake faults deep in Earth can glue themselves back together following a seismic event, according to a new study led by researchers at the University of California, Davis. The work, published in Science Advances, adds ...
Phys.org / Enzyme-free approach gently detaches cells from culture surfaces
Anchorage-dependent cells are cells that require physical attachment to a solid surface, such as a culture dish, to survive, grow, and reproduce. In the biomedical industry, and others, having the ability to culture these ...
Phys.org / Newly discovered Colombian orchid faces 'foretold' extinction under climate change
A team of Colombian botanists has issued an urgent wake-up call after discovering a remarkable new orchid species, only to project its likely extinction within decades due to climate change.
