Medical Xpress / New data signals high demand in aesthetic surgery in southern, rural U.S. despite access issues
A new, national analysis published in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal suggests the future growth of aesthetic surgery may lie far from traditional luxury markets. UC Davis Health researchers found that southern, Midwestern ...
Medical Xpress / Previously hidden immune circuit in the uterus sheds light on preeclampsia and early pregnancy failure
Early pregnancy depends on a remarkable act of coordination. Before the placenta can nourish a growing fetus, the embryo must securely "land" and connect with the mother's blood supply—a process guided by a specialized ...
Medical Xpress / Orchestrated multi-agent AI systems outperform single agents in health care
As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more common in health care, from managing records to assisting with medication decisions, researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai are asking an important question: ...
Tech Xplore / Hybrid AI planner turns images into robot action plans
MIT researchers have developed a generative artificial intelligence-driven approach for planning long-term visual tasks, like robot navigation, that is about twice as effective as some existing techniques. Their method uses ...
Phys.org / Wood surface treatment fights harmful bacteria
A University of Helsinki study has investigated bacterial adhesion, survival and transmission on untreated and treated wood surfaces under both laboratory and field conditions. The laboratory work focused on Staphylococcus ...
Phys.org / Miniature laser technology could bring lab testing into your home
A research team at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, has developed new laser technology that could lead to tiny, cost-effective biosensors. The sensors integrate lasers and optics together on a centimeter-sized chip, ...
Phys.org / Study captures single polymer segments sticking and slipping on surfaces
Kyushu University researchers have directly observed, for the first time, how individual polymers—chain-like molecules—behave when in contact with solid surfaces. Published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, ...
Phys.org / Documenting conflict between commerce and conservation at a mining operation in Bangladesh
A new study using multidecade satellite imagery and face-to-face human interviews tracked the environmental and societal impacts of gravel mining in the Lubha River, Northeast Bangladesh. The researchers found that the river ...
Medical Xpress / We study pandemics, and the resurgence of measles is a grim sign of what's coming
In the three decades between 1993 and 2024, measles in the U.S. was relatively rare—a few hundred cases each year, at most. But suddenly, the disease has become so entrenched in American life that it sometimes fails to ...

There's now another reason to love Japan's famous matcha: A study in mice suggests that the green tea powder could reduce the need to sneeze in people with nasal allergies.
Medical Xpress / Foreign aid cuts to tuberculosis services could cost families $80 billion worldwide
More than a year after the second Trump administration began dismantling the US Agency for International Development (USAID), the global health consequences of this unprecedented loss in international aid continue to surface. ...
Tech Xplore / Biohybrid image sensor uses water-based electrolyte to mimic retina's rods and cones
Both image photodetector arrays and retinas are pixelated sensors that dynamically extract various features from the visual scene—e.g., color, brightness, and contrast—before transmitting electrical signals to either ...
