Medical Xpress / AI atlas reveals hidden whole-body-damage caused by obesity
Obesity affects far more than metabolism and fat storage. It alters immune activity, nerve structure, and tissue organization across multiple organ systems, increasing the risk of diseases including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular ...
Medical Xpress / Why energy fades with age: Missing membrane lipid may destabilize mitochondria
Why do cells age—and why do we lose our energy and vitality as we get older? This question is one of the central challenges of modern biomedicine. The focus is particularly on mitochondria—tiny cellular organelles long known ...
Phys.org / After 10 years of upgrades, this legendary telescope has returned to chase black holes, asteroids and cosmic chemistry
The Haystack 37m Telescope has been a landmark in radio astronomy and radar studies of the solar system since its first light in 1964. Over the following four decades, it supported NASA's Apollo landings on the moon, made ...
Phys.org / South China Sea coral reefs reveal carbon stores rivaling mangroves and seagrasses
A collaborative research team has revealed the long-overlooked carbon storage potential of coral reef ecosystems and how reef-dwelling fish, corals, and surface sediments jointly shape reef carbon reservoirs. The paper is ...
Phys.org / Second ribosome binding site helps explain how tetracyclines work
For decades, doctors have widely used tetracyclines for conditions ranging from acne to tick-borne illnesses. Using high-resolution imaging technology, researchers in the laboratory of Christopher Bunick, MD, Ph.D., associate ...
Phys.org / Ancient DNA reveals web of marriage and migration in Peru centuries before Inca rule
Long-distance migration along Peru's Pacific coast began at least 800 years ago, centuries before the rise of the Inca Empire and much earlier than previously thought, a new international study reveals.
Phys.org / Superconducting vortices moonlight as controllable qubits, turning a disruption into a resource
Vortices in superconductors have so far been considered a disruption, as they can impair the superconducting properties. Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have proved in experiments that magnetic ...
Medical Xpress / Study identifies key protein in immune cell exhaustion in cancer immunotherapy
CAR T-cell therapy is considered a milestone in personalized cancer treatment. In this approach, a patient's own immune cells are genetically modified to recognize and destroy tumor cells. While it has already shown impressive ...
Phys.org / Chiral carbon nanotube films deliver giant light-conversion effect
A sheet of twisted carbon nanotubes has revealed a hidden talent scientists suspected for decades but had never managed to measure. Researchers at Rice University have created large, highly ordered films of chiral carbon ...
Phys.org / Romania dig uncovers 350-square-meter megastructure in 45-house prehistoric settlement
Researchers from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) have found new indications of how large prehistoric settlements were organized. Their research focused on a special type of building known as a megastructure. ...
Phys.org / How the Great Pyramid of Giza has survived 4,500 years of Egyptian earthquakes
The Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt has survived more than 4,500 years. Earthquakes have repeatedly shaken the region, including the magnitude 5.8 Cairo earthquake in 1992, which dislodged some of the pyramid's outer casing ...
Phys.org / Seagrass found to produce new genetic individuals rather than clone itself, offering hope for 'underwater meadows'
In many underwater ecosystems, seagrass meadows act as a food source, a safe haven, and an ecological lynchpin. But until now, very little was known about how these plants reproduce—critical information for conserving the ...
