Medical Xpress / Metabolic hormone found to boost resilience against flu symptoms
A hormone known for regulating energy balance also helps the body cope with influenza by triggering protective responses in the brain, a study led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers shows.
Medical Xpress / How brain fluid flow predicts survival in glioblastoma
Glioblastoma—the most aggressive form of brain cancer—remains one of medicine's biggest challenges. Despite surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, most patients survive only about a year after diagnosis.
Medical Xpress / AI predicts when donor livers are viable, potentially slashing canceled transplants by 60%
There are more candidates on the waitlist for a liver transplant than there are available organs, yet about half the time a match is found with a donor who dies after cardiac arrest following the removal of life support, ...
Phys.org / Reactor-grade fusion plasma: First high-precision measurement of potential dynamics
Nuclear fusion, which operates on the same principle that powers the sun, is expected to become a sustainable energy source for the future. To achieve fusion power generation, it is essential to confine plasma at temperatures ...
Medical Xpress / Shaping immunity: The secrets behind the shape of neutrophils
Researchers at the Kennedy Institute have provided the most comprehensive overview to date of how the distinctive segmented nucleus of neutrophils influences their function in health and disease.
Phys.org / Genetically engineered virus acts as 'smart sponge' to extract rare earth elements from water
Today's high-tech electronics and green energy technologies would not function without rare earth elements (REEs). These 17 metals possess unique properties essential to creating items like the phosphors that illuminate our ...
Medical Xpress / Low-glutamate diet linked to brain changes and migraine relief in veterans with Gulf War Illness
Veterans with Gulf War Illness experienced significant improvement in migraine symptoms after following a diet low in glutamate, a component of flavor-enhancing food additives commonly found in processed foods, according ...

Tech Xplore / New carbon capture method uses water and pressure to remove CO₂ from emissions at half current costs
A new, low-cost method for capturing carbon dioxide emissions from power plants and industrial facilities relies on a simple physical phenomenon—the same one that causes bubbles to fizz when popping a bottle of Champagne ...
Phys.org / Iron core-shell catalyst boosts hydrogen economy of direct syngas to olefin conversion
Scientists have developed a new iron-based catalyst that improves the typically low hydrogen atom economy (HAE) in the direct synthesis of olefins—small hydrocarbon molecules. It converts the water produced as a by-product ...
