Medical Xpress / Newly discovered stem cell reveals potential drug target for spinal stenosis
Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and Hospital for Special Surgery have discovered the unspecialized stem cells that give rise to the body's tendons and ligaments, the tissues connecting muscles and bones.
Phys.org / Supercomputer simulations reveal how the molecular motor kinesin steers itself along tracks
Kinesin is a molecular motor responsible for hauling essential cargoes within cells by walking step by step along filamentous tracks known as microtubules. To move efficiently and avoid falling off, the motor's two feet must ...
Tech Xplore / Iron-based glass alloy designed to reduce energy losses in electric motors
Researchers from the European AM2SoftMag project have developed a new iron-based metallic glass that could lead to 3D-printed components for the manufacture of more efficient electric motors. The new alloy, designed by researchers ...
Phys.org / How 'parachute science' is failing the world's tropical insects
Monash University scientists have developed a global framework to tackle a major blind spot in biodiversity conservation: Insects underpin ecosystems and food production but remain largely invisible to conservation efforts ...
Medical Xpress / Blood protein analysis could help diagnose rare diseases missed by genome sequencing
Researchers from Queen Mary University of London, the Berlin Institute of Health at Charité (BIH) and Genomics England have shown that measuring proteins in the blood can provide important additional clues about the effects ...
Phys.org / Excavations at Prado Vargas now span 140 square meters of a Neanderthal layer
The 2026 field season at Prado Vargas Cave, located in the village of Cornejo in the northern province of Burgos, Spain, within the Ojo Guareña karst complex, has expanded the excavation of Neanderthal sublevel 4D by 32 square ...
Phys.org / Extremely massive galaxy proto-supercluster smashes distance record
An international team of astronomers has discovered the most distant progenitor to a galaxy supercluster ever. The discovery supports existing theories of how galaxy clusters evolve and reveals how they are connected to the ...
Phys.org / New genomic tool for clams boosts sustainable aquaculture
An international team of researchers, including CIIMAR, has developed a new tool that could help produce clams that are more resistant to disease and climate change while also strengthening the conservation of these species' ...
Phys.org / GPS collars reveal secrets of the power struggle between lions and hyenas in the wild
Hidden deep in the bush, ranging over huge territories at speeds humans can't match and through terrain not even the most rugged vehicle can handle, hyenas and lions are hard to study. Now, new research using GPS collars ...
Medical Xpress / It's time to change how we think about exercise, researchers suggest
An abundance of clinical trials has shown that exercise reduces pain and facilitates everyday activities like climbing stairs for individuals with osteoarthritis. But researchers from the University of South Carolina, McMaster ...
Medical Xpress / Certain DNA signatures may reveal which prostate cancers are most likely to spread
Prostate cancer is the second most common form of cancer among men globally. Yet, we still know relatively little about why the disease develops or why some men live with it for years while it progresses aggressively in others.
Medical Xpress / Do infants expect caregivers to comfort crying babies?
When a baby begins to cry, do you expect its caregiver to soothe it? Most infants do, according to a new study published in Developmental Psychology by researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. The study ...
