Dialog / Neural crest cells: Miniature electric muscles that colonize embryonic organs
Neural crest cells are a population of stem cells that invade the embryo in early development. They play a big role in what you look like: the pigments of your eyes, of your skin, and the bone structure of your face are all ...
Phys.org / Earthquake data provide solid footing for AI foundation science model
There's been a seismic shift in science, with scientists developing new AI tools and applying AI to just about any question that can be asked. Researchers are now putting actual seismic waves to work, using data from the ...
Phys.org / How giant galaxies could form just 1.4 billion years after the Big Bang
The existence of massive, elliptical galaxies in the early universe has puzzled astronomers for two decades. An international team led by Nikolaus Sulzenauer and Axel Weiß from the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy ...
Medical Xpress / Best diagnostic test for ovarian cancer in premenopausal women identified
Premenopausal women would benefit from a significantly more accurate diagnostic pathway for ovarian cancer, as a new study finds that an advanced ultrasound test, IOTA ADNEX, identified 9 out of 10 cancers in women who took ...
Medical Xpress / Specialized microscopy enables researchers to visualize the dynamics of myelin swellings
An international research team has gained new insights into the dynamics of myelin swellings in the brain. Myelin swellings are considered as the precursor of lesions in the brain of people with multiple sclerosis (MS). MS ...
Phys.org / The wild physics that keeps your body's electrical system flowing smoothly
Building on their pioneering 2018 research into how some of the body's cells, such as neurons and cardiac tissue, communicate via ions that flow through cellular channels, chemists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst ...
Medical Xpress / Aggressive brain tumors build protective 'sugar shield' to survive extreme stress
For the first time, researchers have identified a previously unrecognized metabolic defense mechanism in aggressive brain tumors: a sugar-rich shield that surrounds tumor cells and protects them against a particularly destructive ...
Phys.org / Demographic forms can undermine a sense of belonging in Latino Americans
The way Latino Americans' identity is represented on demographic forms can undermine their fundamental sense of belonging in the U.S., says new research. Across four experiments that surveyed more than 1,300 Latino participants ...
Medical Xpress / Mice with miniature goggles reveal how different visual experiences give rise to different neural wiring
Visual experience triggers the formation of a web of neural connections in different brain areas in order to make sense of the world—and in particular, of feedback connections, which send information from higher-level visual ...
Phys.org / New AI method advances prediction of Brazil's national soybean yield
A new AI-based system can generate high-resolution soybean yield maps across Brazil using only limited local data, improving yield estimates for this key agricultural region and potentially providing strategic benefits to ...
Medical Xpress / Cases of dangerous 'superbug' reported in KY, other states: What one hospital is doing
A "superbug" fungus is spreading in health care facilities across the country, and according to researchers from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, represents a multi-drug resistant threat that requires ...
Medical Xpress / Commonly used drugs could help prevent delirium after surgery
A new study has found that several commonly used drugs could significantly reduce the risk of delirium in older people following surgery. Delirium—a sudden state of confusion and memory problems—affects around one in ...
