Medical Xpress / Many genes have been linked to autism—but a new study suggests it may be their path to the brain that matters
In recent years, scientists have identified hundreds of different genes associated with autism, a burst of discovery that has prompted a new and perplexing question: how can so many different genes produce the same or very ...
Medical Xpress / Distinct metabolic signature found in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
What exactly happens in the hearts of patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)—and how can this knowledge be used to develop new therapies? A research team led by Dr. Gabriele Schiattarella from ...
Phys.org / Beam-splitting approach reveals hidden changes in vitamin B12
Researchers at European XFEL have developed a way to study liquid samples that are too dilute for many existing X-ray experiments. The method is highly sensitive, and in the first experiment a group of international scientists ...
Phys.org / Climate change is rewriting winter lakes in a way that looks completely backward at first glance
Climate change undoubtedly affects lakes and the functioning of their ecosystems, but seasonal impacts are not always straightforward. An international team of researchers from York University in Canada, the Finnish Environment ...
Phys.org / New research reveals repeated flooding is altering Florida freshwater resources
Heavy rains causing repeated river flood intrusions into Florida's freshwater springs are changing the function of the clear natural resource. Findings from University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences ...
Phys.org / Application of Florida 'extreme risk' firearm law varies widely across counties, study finds
A Florida law designed to prevent gun violence by temporarily removing firearms from people at risk of harming themselves or others is used unevenly across the state, according to a new study. The study, published in the ...
Phys.org / Identifying severe weather hazards further in the future with AI
An artificial intelligence (AI) tool built by the U.S. National Science Foundation National Center for Atmospheric Research (NSF NCAR) can help forecasters look further into the future as they work to identify the potential ...
Science X / Here's why your face doesn't perceive itchiness the same way your body does
In a new study, researchers from North Carolina State University show that itch sensations in the face are perceived differently from those in the body due to differences in signaling between trigeminal (located in the brain) ...
Phys.org / Hollow‑Earth myths and Nazi UFOs on TikTok are bringing white supremacism into the mainstream
Eighty-one years after Adolf Hitler died by his own hand in a Berlin bunker, a viral video on TikTok shows an AI-generated vision of the Nazi dictator standing in Antarctica, shoulders broad and face smiling, sipping a White ...
Medical Xpress / A preventable mining disease is still spreading through global pits as demand for critical minerals grows
Researchers from National Jewish Health have conducted what is believed to be the largest systematic review of silicosis in mineral miners. Silicosis is an irreversible lung disease caused by the inhalation of respirable ...
Phys.org / Levitated nano-ferromagnet confirms a 160-year-old physical prediction
Ferromagnets, such as iron, cobalt, and nickel, are materials with a strong, spontaneous, and permanent magnetic field. Over 150 years ago, the physicist and mathematician James Clerk Maxwell speculated that under specific ...
Medical Xpress / How sugar fuels sight: Glucose metabolism linked to epigenetic and gene expression changes in the retina
National Eye Institute (NEI) scientists have found that the way the retina metabolizes glucose directly controls which genes get switched on and off in light-sensing photoreceptors. The findings suggest that metabolic disruptions ...
