Phys.org / Long-term study reveals hidden threat of schistosomiasis in endangered chimpanzees
A 12-year study of rescued chimpanzees at the Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary (NICS) in Uganda has revealed persistent intestinal schistosomiasis infections, highlighting the need for long-term disease surveillance to ...
Phys.org / Ruby-forming mineral found by Mars rover hints at violent impacts
So far, most of the minerals found on Mars tell a story of lava poured out by ancient volcanoes, followed by long stretches in which water trickled through and slowly reshaped the rock. However, some rocks scattered across ...
Medical Xpress / Weight loss drugs may offer a new avenue for bipolar disorder research
Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA), commonly used to treat diabetes and weight loss, may have additional mental health benefits, especially for people with bipolar disorder, new Griffith University research ...
Medical Xpress / New CDK strategies could target tumor growth by shutting down key gene activity
Cancer is the second-leading cause of death in Germany. In the search for new therapeutic approaches that target the uncontrolled growth of tumor cells, a class of enzymes known as cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) has come ...
Medical Xpress / Immunotherapy shows promise for clearing residual melanoma cells
Cornell researchers successfully ramped up the body's own immune response to fight melanoma at the tail end of targeted cancer therapy, when tumors commonly become resistant to these therapies and leave behind residual cancer ...
Medical Xpress / Exploring the relationship between an age-related brain change and depression
During typical aging and Alzheimer's disease progression, higher levels of a protein called tau are associated with more depressive symptoms. In JNeurosci, Teodora Markova from Brandeis University and colleagues explore the ...
Medical Xpress / Lung tumor bacteria plus vitamin B2 metabolite may boost immune response to cancer
Bacteria in lung tumors may boost the activation of innate immune cells in the presence of a common vitamin metabolite, according to a preclinical study by researchers from the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center and its Bloomberg~Kimmel ...
Tech Xplore / AI agents can build consensus on a scale humans can't
Everyone is familiar with the situation: A larger group of people plans to visit a restaurant together, but it can take time and sometimes a great deal of patience to agree on a time and place to meet. The better the participants ...
Medical Xpress / Palliative care understanding shapes preferences for end-of-life care
A Swedish population-level study has found that people with a comprehensive understanding of palliative care are more likely to prefer end-of-life care at home or in a hospice. Among individuals with less understanding about ...
Phys.org / A new approach to building noise-resistant quantum sensors
Quantum sensors, devices that collect measurements by exploiting quantum-mechanical phenomena, could potentially detect extremely weak magnetic, gravitational and electromagnetic signals with greater sensitivity than classical ...
Phys.org / New ROOT method charts a path to reversing biological changes once thought irreversible
Once a cell has locked into an abnormal state—the way cancer cells do—can it ever be restored to normal? A KAIST research team led by Professor Kwang-Hyun Cho of the Department of Bio and Brain Engineering has, for the first ...
Medical Xpress / Blood test shows promise for detecting breast cancer recurrence
A research team at Kumamoto University has developed a blood-based approach that could help detect breast cancer recurrence by looking beyond conventional genetic mutations and examining how DNA is packaged inside cells. ...
