Phys.org / New study quantifies lake CO₂ emissions and their rising trend in China
Lakes are often described as "hotspots" in the global carbon cycle, yet quantifying their "breath"—the exchange of carbon dioxide (CO2) between water and the atmosphere—has long been notoriously difficult due to extreme variability ...
Phys.org / Better-fed calves are more motivated to play, pioneering study shows
New research has revealed dairy calves that are fed less complete tasks faster and remember more in pursuit of milk, but miss out on play. Calves that were given more food were more inclined to play. The study, led by the ...
Medical Xpress / How older adults rise from a chair can influence their quality of life, large study reports
How easily older adults can stand up from a chair may be a telling indicator of their overall quality of life. If they report difficulty rising to their feet after prolonged sitting, they are more likely to experience mental ...
Phys.org / Microbes contribute a surprisingly large array of proteins in fermented foods
A new North Carolina State University study examining the proteins found in fermented foods like yogurt, cheese and bread found that a surprisingly large number, and percentage, of microbial proteins contribute to their overall ...
Medical Xpress / Does the brain work like an LLM in predicting words? New study spells out a complicated answer
The appearance of predictive text in writing an email or text message has become, for better or worse, a regular feature of our lives, saving us time by seamlessly filling in a word before we can type it or frustrating us ...
Medical Xpress / In epilepsy, poor sleep is associated with dementia
For people with epilepsy, getting poor sleep was associated with a higher risk of dementia compared to people without epilepsy, according to a study published in Neurology. In addition, getting optimal sleep, six to eight ...
Phys.org / Bacteria's 'two-way door' revealed: How antimicrobials cross cell membranes
Researchers at Durham have helped unlock a new understanding of how bacteria import antimicrobial peptides—the molecules that can kill or inhibit microbes. The research sheds new light on SbmA, a key transporter protein found ...
Medical Xpress / Millions of US birth records uncover an autism risk surge tied to common drugs taken during pregnancy
A landmark study led by researchers at the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) and published in Molecular Psychiatry has identified a significant association between prenatal prescription of commonly utilized medications ...
Medical Xpress / This bioengineered chewing gum wipes out cancer-linked mouth microbes while sparing healthy bacteria
Researchers led by Henry Daniell of the School of Dental Medicine have shown that extracts from bioengineered chewing gum reduce the levels of three microbes known to be associated with head and neck squamous cell cancer ...
Phys.org / Catalyst reveals temperature-driven shape shifts behind methanol production efficiency
With the aim to precisely understand its function, researchers from the Inorganic Chemistry Department and Interface Science Department of the Fritz Haber Institute, together with colleagues from the Max Planck Institute ...
Medical Xpress / New glioblastoma clue could lead to therapies that weaken tumors and boost immune memory
A team of researchers from Brown University Health and Brown University has uncovered an important clue in the fight against glioblastoma, the most common and aggressive form of brain cancer in adults.
Medical Xpress / An enhancer within tumors provides a potential target for 'undruggable' MYC in pediatric medulloblastoma
Efforts to develop effective therapies for MYC-amplified Group 3 medulloblastoma (G3-MB) are hindered by an incomplete understanding of how MYC expression is controlled in these tumors. MYC, an oncogene, has long been considered ...
