Medical Xpress / Routine eye screening provides a window to heart health in type 2 diabetes
Recent findings have shown that routine eye screening could also be used for early detection of underlying heart disease in people with type 2 diabetes.
Medical Xpress / Color blindness may reduce early bladder cancer detection and survival
People who are colorblind may be missing a life-saving warning sign of bladder cancer. Analysis of the electronic health records of hundreds of people found that those with color vision deficiency (CVD), or color blindness ...
Phys.org / An experimental study reveals the role of natural oils in reducing banana spoilage
One of the major challenges facing the agricultural sector is reserving the post-harvest quality of fruits. Significant economic losses can be caused by rapid ripening and deterioration in tropical fruits, such as bananas, ...
Phys.org / Detecting drought stress in trees from the air
Increasing heat and drought are putting our forests under stress. Researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research (WSL) have used drone imagery to investigate how native tree species are ...
Phys.org / Scientists transform enigmatic cell structures into devices for recording RNA activity
Scientists can peer into cells to get a limited view of their activity using microscopes and other tools. However, cells and the molecular events within them are dynamic, and developmental processes, disease progression and ...
Medical Xpress / How our nasal passages defend against the common cold and help determine how sick we get
When a rhinovirus, the most frequent cause of the common cold, infects the lining of our nasal passages, our cells work together to fight the virus by triggering an arsenal of antiviral defenses.
Medical Xpress / Inflammatory pathway reveals targetable weakness in hard-to-treat blood cancer
New research co-led by Indiana University School of Medicine scientists has exposed a vulnerability in acute myeloid leukemia by identifying the blood cancer's reliance on a specific signaling pathway involved in the body's ...
Phys.org / MOSAIC platform compiles chemistry protocols for faster drug design
Speeding up drug discovery in the age of AI may come down to a concept that's comfortingly old-fashioned: Consulting a chemistry recipe book.
