Phys.org / More selective breeding might help flat-faced dogs to breathe easier
Breeding programs could alter heritable dog characteristics to reduce the rates of brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS), a breathing disorder common in dogs such as Bulldogs, French Bulldogs and Pugs—according ...
Medical Xpress / Gold-coated microneedles can detect subtleties in how liver and kidneys process drugs in real time
Scientists have taken a giant leap forward with the development of tiny microneedles designed to detect subtle but critical changes in how the liver and kidneys process therapeutic drugs. The experimental technology, under ...
Phys.org / Laser treatment reshapes MOF pores, boosting CO₂ capture by up to 75%
A research team led by Hee-jung Lee, senior researcher at Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS), in collaboration with Professor Sunghwan Park of Kyungpook National University and Professor Mingyu Kim of Yeungnam University, ...
Medical Xpress / AI platform decodes how cells 'talk' in cancer, Alzheimer's and other complex diseases
Scientists at Houston Methodist have developed an artificial intelligence platform that can decode how cells communicate inside the human body, opening a window into conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, cancer, and potentially ...
Phys.org / SNOR protein provides 'all-clear' signal for dormant cells to resume normal operations
It's a tough world for microbes. When resources grow limited and environments worsen, microbes have figured out ways to hunker down and go dormant until conditions improve.
Phys.org / Scientists estimate sunlight in 18th and 19th century Tokyo using historical diaries
The amount of sunlight, or solar radiation, that a location receives makes a big impact on weather conditions, crop success, rainfall and overall climate trends. Today, instruments called pyrheliometers are used to carefully ...
Medical Xpress / Clinical decision support system does not improve chronic kidney disease outcomes
A clinical decision support system (CDSS) for chronic kidney disease (CKD) does not improve physician behavior or patient outcomes over a control intervention, according to a study published online May 8 in JAMA Network Open.
Phys.org / Amazon's carbon clock is speeding up, and violent storms may be only part of why
Tropical forests store more than 60% of the world's vegetation biomass and are among the most important ecosystems for regulating the global carbon cycle and climate. However, their regulatory role is greatly influenced by ...
Medical Xpress / A new approach to cancer vaccination yields more powerful T cells
MIT engineers have developed a new way to amplify the T-cell response to mRNA vaccines—an advance that could lead to much more powerful cancer vaccines and stronger protection against infectious diseases.
Phys.org / Molecular grappling hooks improve cancer drug targeting and effectiveness
Medications are designed to treat diseased tissues while sparing healthy ones, often by attaching the drug to something that helps guide it directly to its target. But drugs also need time to work, which means they need to ...
Phys.org / Alaska's near‑record landslide tsunami sent a wave 1,580 feet up the fjord walls
On the evening of Aug. 9, 2025, passengers on the Hanse Explorer finished taking selfies and videos of the South Sawyer Glacier, and the ship headed back down the fjord. Twelve hours later, a landslide from the adjacent mountain ...
Phys.org / Hyperspectral imaging to map Gran Dolina's oldest sediments and fossils in infrared
The Centro Nacional de Investigación sobre la Evolución Humana (CENIEH) and the Instituto Tecnológico de Castilla y León (ITCL) have begun a collaboration to advance the application of hyperspectral analysis in the study ...
