Medical Xpress / Structure-based RNA could lead to treatment for neuromuscular disorders
Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University have discovered a way to target RNA that could lead to new treatment options for myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), the most common adult-onset form of muscular dystrophy, and other ...
Medical Xpress / Pediatricians offer advice on dealing with warts
Warts are small, firm bumps on the skin caused by viruses from the human papillomavirus (HPV) family. Warts are common among school-aged children but can affect people of any age.
Phys.org / Scientists realize a three-qubit quantum register in a silicon photonic chip
Quantum technologies are highly promising devices that process, transfer or store information leveraging quantum mechanical effects. Instead of relying on bits, like classical computers, quantum devices rely on entangled ...
Medical Xpress / AI model detects prediabetes using ECG data without need for blood tests
DiaCardia, a novel artificial intelligence model that can accurately identify individuals with prediabetes using either 12-lead or single-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) data, has been developed. This breakthrough holds promise ...
Tech Xplore / A simple coating that makes high-energy Li-ion batteries last longer
Silicon is an attractive negative electrode (anode) material for future lithium-ion batteries because it can store much more energy than the graphite used today. However, silicon expands and shrinks dramatically during charging ...
Medical Xpress / The aggressive use of antibiotics could fuel mood disorders and anxiety
Antibiotics (ABs) are among the most used pharmaceutical drugs worldwide, as they are currently the most effective medicines for the treatment of bacterial infections. An excessive use of these drugs, however, can damage ...
Phys.org / Medieval burials shed light on Menga dolmen's multicultural significance over thousands of years

Medical Xpress / Most elderly cancer patients receive inappropriate drugs until final months, study finds
Analysis of the medical records of 1,269 elderly patients with advanced cancer by researchers at the University of Tsukuba has found that more than 70% were prescribed potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) and that ...
Tech Xplore / New RoboReward dataset and models automate robotic training and evaluation
The advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms has opened new possibilities for the development of robots that can reliably tackle various everyday tasks. Training and evaluating these algorithms, however, typically ...
Medical Xpress / Rapid concussion detection using saliva
Imagine a simple saliva test that makes concussion screening faster and more objective than ever before. Thanks to neurotechnology being developed and piloted by Andrew Cordssen-David (BSc '22, MBET '23), co-founder and CEO ...
Phys.org / Asexual yam species employs mimicry to trick birds and spread farther
Evolutionarily speaking, the ultimate goal of a lifeform is to reproduce and stave off extinction. Many plants and animals have evolved unique tricks to do so. One of these tricks is mimicry, which might be used to trick ...
Phys.org / How every generation uses AI, from boomers to Gen Z
Artificial intelligence or AI is no longer a future concept—it's already shaping how we work, learn and live.
