Medical Xpress / Lab-grown retinal cells show promise for new eye therapies
Biomedical engineers at Duke University have used induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to grow specialized blood vessel cells critical to retinal health for the first time. When injected into mouse models of retinal disease, ...
Phys.org / Rare inner ear cells point to regenerative hearing treatments
A study by a team of researchers from the Gray Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences at Tel Aviv University offers new hope to millions of people with irreversible hearing loss. The researchers identified a unique biological ...
Phys.org / Baker's yeast shows potential in treatment of persistent fungal infection
Millions of women worldwide suffer from vaginal yeast infections. These infections are most commonly caused by the fungus Candida albicans and can lead to symptoms ranging from itching and burning to recurrent inflammation. ...
Medical Xpress / Men should speed up slower to avoid 'hitting the wall' in marathons, new research suggests
Male runners may be twice as likely as female runners to suddenly slow down—known as "hitting the wall"—during a marathon, according to a study published in Scientific Reports. The authors suggest that men may be able to ...
Phys.org / Scourge of satellites lighting up the sky could be mitigated with help of ultra-black coating
Astrophysicists working to tackle the growing impact of satellite constellations have pioneered a new ultra-black coating as one possible way to mitigate the problem.
Medical Xpress / Dual-mobility hip replacement implant can lower dislocation risk by 70%
A new type of hip replacement implant reduces the risk of joint dislocation after surgery by 70%, according to a new study involving 1,600 patients across 44 hospitals in Sweden and the UK, published in The Lancet. The new ...
Phys.org / A cataclysmic collision in space provides new clues on astronomy's biggest stalemate
Second only to black holes, neutron stars—incredibly dense star remnants—are the densest objects in the universe. When neutron stars collide, they create ripples in the fabric of space and time that we can detect on Earth.
Phys.org / Bronze Age boat carvings point to maritime links from Iberia to Scandinavia
Bronze Age rock carvings suggest communities across Europe were far more connected than previously thought, according to a new study led by the Department of Archaeology. The research compared ancient rock carvings, or "petroglyphs," ...
Medical Xpress / BCG vaccine may rewire brain immunity, shift Alzheimer's markers over 12 months
New research led by Mass General Brigham investigators suggests that the Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine—which is delivered through the skin to prevent tuberculosis—may remodel the human brain's immune environment, ...
Phys.org / NASA rolls out three robotic moon missions as 2029 lunar base plans take shape
NASA on Tuesday announced new uncrewed missions to aid in the future creation of a lunar surface base, a project beginning to take shape despite recent setbacks.
Medical Xpress / A child can drown in seconds. Doctors want more families to be prepared
Doctors and others are sounding an alarm: More U.S. children have been drowning in recent years.
Phys.org / Acceptor molecule upconverts low-energy green light to high-energy purple with high efficiency
Solar cells and photocatalysts can be surprisingly inefficient. Despite light consisting of many wavelengths, the range that even highly efficient devices use is limited. Other wavelengths, especially long wavelengths, simply ...
