Medical Xpress / Why asthma can hit women harder: Estrogen-linked IL-33 ramps up lung inflammation
Asthma affects millions of people worldwide, and adult women experience the condition more frequently—and often more severely—than men. Symptoms can also fluctuate during puberty, pregnancy and menopause, yet the biological ...
Phys.org / How big can a planet be? With very large gas giants, it can be hard to tell
Gas giants are large planets mostly composed of helium and/or hydrogen. Although these planets have dense cores, they don't have hard surfaces. Jupiter and Saturn are the gas giants in our solar system, but there are many ...
Medical Xpress / Distinct resilience profiles predict psychological outcomes during adversity, study reveals
Higher self-reported levels of resilience were linked to lower anxiety and depression and better coping strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a study published in PLOS One by Joseph Anthony Pettit of Bangor ...
Phys.org / Tiny Enceladus exercises giant electromagnetic influence at Saturn
A major study by an international team of researchers using data from the NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini spacecraft has revealed a lattice-like structure of crisscrossing reflected waves that flow downstream behind the moon in Saturn's ...
Medical Xpress / How blood biomarkers can predict trauma patient recovery days in advance
Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz have developed a way to predict how trauma patients will recover, days before complications come to fruition, by analyzing the molecules in their blood. In their study published ...
Phys.org / Non-biologic processes don't fully explain Mars organics collected by Curiosity, researchers say
In a new study, researchers say that nonbiological sources they considered could not fully account for the abundance of organic compounds in a sample collected on Mars by NASA's Curiosity rover. The paper is published in ...
Medical Xpress / Doctors discover a simple method to predict the risk of brain tumor recurrence
Meningioma is the most common type of brain tumor. It does not develop in the brain tissue itself, but on the inside of the meninges, the membranes that surround the brain. In most cases, a meningioma is benign. However, ...
Phys.org / Water molecules actively reshape chiral catalyst structure, research shows
Researchers have analyzed the stepwise hydration of prolinol, a molecule widely used as a catalyst and as a building block in chemical synthesis. The study shows that just a few water molecules can completely change the preferred ...
Phys.org / Bison hunters abandoned long-used site 1,100 years ago to adapt to changing climate, Great Plains study finds
On the Great Plains of North America, bison were hunted for thousands of years before populations collapsed to near extinction due to overexploitation in the late 1800s. But long before then, bison hunters used various strategies ...
Medical Xpress / First whole-heart mapping technology delivers a global view of cardiac arrhythmias in a single beat
Corify Care's proprietary Global Volumetric Mapping technology, described in Communications Medicine, represents a new approach to cardiac electrophysiology. The publication marks the first system capable of mapping all four ...
Medical Xpress / Growth of spreading pancreatic cancer is fueled by 'underappreciated' epigenetic changes, shows study
In a lab-grown cell study focused on potential new treatment targets for halting the spread of most pancreatic cancers, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report they have found that a gene called KLF5 (Krueppel-like factor ...
Phys.org / Researchers identify key genes controlling rice tiller angle
Rice tiller angle is an important trait affecting population structure, light utilization, planting density, and yield potential. Although several genes affecting tiller angle have been reported, the upstream regulatory networks ...
