Medical Xpress / For young adults, recollection of alcohol addiction may differ from reality, study suggests
When young adults are asked to recall their drinking habits, their recollections may not always match what actually happened in their day-to-day lives, a new study suggests. Though people tend to remember major events, like ...
Medical Xpress / A newly uncovered gene switch rewires infant heart cells and opens a treatment path for a deadly disease
Researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of USC have made an important advance toward understanding—and potentially treating—a rare cardiomyopathy (heart muscle disease) that is present from birth. The condition, known ...
Medical Xpress / AI screening in brain organoids uncovers two drug candidates for Leigh syndrome
The need for medical treatments for rare diseases such as Leigh syndrome is high. However, low patient numbers make research into treatments difficult. Together with a team from the University of Luxembourg, researchers from ...
Phys.org / 'Tis the season: Sharing resources sustains ocean microbial biodiversity
Oceanographers from the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa discovered that microbial communities—from the sunlit surface to extreme depths—in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre exhibit robust seasonal cycles. The study provides ...
Medical Xpress / Bowel cancer immunotherapy clinical trial follow-up shows zero relapses
Patients with a specific type of bowel cancer who were treated with a short course of immunotherapy before surgery instead of post-op chemotherapy have remained cancer-free after almost three years of follow-up, according ...
Phys.org / Scientists capture superconductivity's 'dancing pairs' for first time, revealing missing pieces in a decades-old theory
For the first time, scientists have directly imaged the quantum process underlying superconductivity, a phenomenon in which paired electrons cause electric current to flow without resistance at sufficiently low temperatures. ...
Medical Xpress / Video game improves emergency doctor trauma triage decision-making
Emergency physicians who play a video game about trauma triage outperform their peers who only receive standard education when it comes to properly caring for severely injured older adults. These findings are published in ...
Phys.org / Atlantic current system could be weakening faster than expected
The Atlantic current system, or more formally the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), is more likely to weaken than previously thought. That's the conclusion of a new study published in the journal Science ...
Medical Xpress / Within primary breast tumors, a high-risk cell state may seed future metastases
Understanding which cells within a tumor will go on to form metastases remains one of the major challenges in cancer research. A study led by the Cell Plasticity in Development and Disease laboratory, headed by Ángela Nieto ...
Medical Xpress / Gut 'microbial fingerprints' predict melanoma recurrence with up to 94% accuracy
The specific mix of bacteria living in a person's gut can predict the chances that melanoma will recur after surgery and immunotherapy, which helps immune cells target cancer cells. This is according to a new study led by ...
