Phys.org / Capturing localized protein and metabolic information from a single tissue section
Revealing how proteins and end products of biological activity (metabolites) change within specific tissue functional units during development or in response to environmental factors is beneficial for understanding localized ...
Medical Xpress / Health warnings could reduce young people's social media use, study finds
Pop-up messages that warn of the harms of social media—such as mental health consequences—have the potential to reduce young people's social media use, a new Stanford Medicine study has found. The online experiment of about ...
Phys.org / Hidden protein recycling hubs discovered inside human sperm cells
Researchers at VIB, VUB and the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology (UK) have discovered a hidden feature of human sperm cells. Using advanced imaging technologies, they discovered specialized compartments ...
Tech Xplore / A life-inspired framework for more autonomous and adaptive AI
Living organisms constantly adjust their behavior according to what is happening inside their bodies. Hunger can shift attention toward food, while cold can make finding warmth more urgent. These internal signals remain meaningful ...
Phys.org / An activity-based probe library for identifying protein function
Proteins are vital to living systems. They build and repair tissues, act as enzymes to speed chemical reactions, regulate hormones and transport nutrients—all of which are important for developing next-generation bioproducts ...
Tech Xplore / Digital brain twins hinge on what living brains reveal, not computing power alone
Researchers from the University of Warwick report that how faithfully we can build a "digital twin" of a human brain depends not only on computing power but fundamentally on how much of the living brain we can measure, validate ...
Medical Xpress / Genetic pathway offers new insight into timing of early brain development
Melbourne researchers have uncovered a critical signaling pathway that controls the timing of brain development, shedding new light on how neurodevelopmental disorders may develop. The research, led by Murdoch Children's ...
Medical Xpress / FDA approves first-in-class drug for polycythemia vera
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved Takeda Pharmaceuticals' Mimrylo (rusfertide) as a new treatment for adults with polycythemia vera who have not achieved adequate control with existing therapies.
Medical Xpress / Specialized bone marrow transplant replaces immune cells beyond the brain in mice
The immune system is made up of specialized cells and proteins that help defend the body from pathogens and cancer. Most of the time, the immune system performs its job remarkably well. However, in some situations, the immune ...
Phys.org / Bio-based plastic turns into fertilizer after use
Plastic waste is one of the world's fastest-growing environmental problems. According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development's Global Plastics Outlook: Policy Scenarios to 2060 report, global plastic ...
Phys.org / Firelight may have sparked human storytelling by extending social hours
New research from the University of St Andrews has developed a novel hypothesis of how firelight was critical to the evolution of sophisticated storytelling.
Medical Xpress / I'm trying to lose weight. Will exercising make me hungrier and eat more?
We've all been there. You spend an hour at the gym, and before you even reach the locker room, you start thinking about your favorite takeout meal—after all, you've earned it!
