Medical Xpress / Thymus-derived hormone may suppress age-related inflammation and boost cancer therapy
Chronic, low-grade inflammation in the body—a phenomenon known as "inflammaging" because it increases with age—has been linked to many of today's leading causes of illness and death, including cancer, heart disease, metabolic ...
Medical Xpress / Two ways to read a genome: Body-wide, single-cell atlas maps DNA folding and methylation together
Every cell in the human body carries the same 3 billion letters of DNA, yet a neuron, a heart muscle cell and a pancreatic beta cell each use that shared code to do entirely different jobs. How cells pull off this trick comes ...
Phys.org / Gig platforms can simply 'wait out' workers to slash wages, research reveals
Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS), the Tübingen AI Center and Ellis Institute Tübingen have conducted a study that uncovers a mathematical strategy explaining how digital labor platforms ...
Medical Xpress / Viagra may reduce cancer metastasis, study shows
Viagra was originally developed to treat high blood pressure and chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart, but over the past three decades it has become the world's best-known therapy for erectile dysfunction. ...
Medical Xpress / Molecular imaging enhances diagnosis of fever of unknown origin
PET/CT can add valuable information to aid the diagnosis of fever of unknown origin (FUO), according to a new multicenter, retrospective study published in the June issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine. In a cohort of ...
Medical Xpress / People are living longer, but spending more years in poor health
People around the world are living longer than ever before but spending more of those additional years in poor health, according to a new Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study published in The Lancet Public Health.
Phys.org / Ruthenium nanoparticles convert captured perchlorate into harmless chloride in water treatment waste
For decades, water utilities have relied on giant tanks filled with ion-exchange resin beads to remove perchlorate, a harmful industrial pollutant, from drinking water. The system works by attracting negatively charged perchlorate ...
Phys.org / Cosmic gymnastics: How the Milky Way once underwent a dramatic flip
The Milky Way may have undergone a dramatic change in orientation during its history, according to new research that helps explain a long-standing mystery about our galaxy. Using supercomputer simulations of galaxies like ...
Tech Xplore / China has cracked down on AI companions: What can we learn from this?
Since November 2022, generative artificial intelligence (AI) has been rewriting billions of emails, student assignments, reports and breakup text messages. Alongside these mundane uses, we've seen a proliferation of chatbots ...
