Medical Xpress / Tiny worms, with help from researchers, may hold key to treating rare childhood disease
A new worm model developed by Brown University researchers could play a key role in treating a rare genetic disease that causes paralysis in children and worsens with age. Developed in the lab of neuroscientist Anne Hart, ...
Medical Xpress / The mental toll of quarantine on board a cruise ship, explained by a psychologist
The MV Hondius left Ushuaia, Argentina, on April 1. Within days, one passenger had become ill. Within weeks, the voyage had become the focus of an international health response after cases of Andes virus, a type of hantavirus, ...
Tech Xplore / 60% of US teens have tried AI chatbots, 11.4% use them almost daily
As AI chatbots become increasingly part of daily life for American teens, a new national study documents widespread exposure to harm. While many use them for school, entertainment and support, researchers warn they may also ...
Medical Xpress / Food allergy researchers predict oral food challenge tests as an obstacle to future food allergy trials
A new international perspective led by UNC School of Medicine researchers highlights that oral food challenges, historically considered essential to food allergy clinical trials, are now limiting who can participate and threatening ...
Medical Xpress / A common cholesterol drug may weaken ovarian cancer's hidden shield
Ascites—the buildup of liquid in the belly—may be doing more than causing discomfort. A Duke University School of Medicine study finds this fluid helps cancer cells survive and spread—and that a decades-old cholesterol drug ...
Phys.org / An everyday sweetener offers a surprisingly powerful engine for transparent, stretchable electronics
Professor Kyungwho Choi's team of the School of Mechanical Engineering at Sungkyunkwan University, in collaboration with Professor Jinsoo Kim's team in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Kyung Hee University, have ...
Medical Xpress / Study suggests immunotherapy may strengthen treatment for aggressive prostate cancer
Researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center report encouraging early results from a phase 2 study examining whether immunotherapy can improve results when added to a radiotherapy-based treatment regimen for men with aggressive prostate ...
Science X / Think your gaze is steady? Think again. (And thank your wobbly eyes for sight)
Try to focus on one thing, and your eyes will keep moving around very slightly, even if you think you're holding them still. Such movements are called "fixational eye movements" (FEMs). Scientists have been trying to determine ...
Medical Xpress / Genome sequencing is rewriting the history of disease outbreaks but it can tell only part of the story
Fingerprinting transformed police investigations by making it possible to place a suspect at a crime scene with physical evidence. Similarly, genome sequencing has changed how disease detectives study outbreaks by allowing ...
Phys.org / Climate scientist finds large errors in a global climate pollution database
New research from Northern Arizona University found that a global greenhouse gas emissions database produced by the Climate TRACE consortium, co-founded by former Vice President Al Gore, is underestimating vehicle carbon ...
Medical Xpress / Slow-dividing breast cancer cells may explain relapses decades after treatment
A new study by the Garvan Institute of Medical Research has uncovered a hidden mechanism explaining why breast cancer can return many years after successful treatment. Published in Nature Communications, the research reveals ...
Phys.org / Looped polymers unlock stronger, faster molecular binding through entropy, model suggests
Entropy gets a bad rap. Typically associated with randomness and chaos, it can also correlate with freedom and diversity. Cornell researchers have found that, thanks to the latter qualities, entropy can help bind certain ...
