Medical Xpress / Electric fields could organize neural activity trial by trial during memory tasks
It's a fact of life that the electrical activity of neurons will vary during the same task, even when the ultimate outcome is the same. A new study shows that a lot of ongoing fluctuations in the brain's activity can be explained ...
Phys.org / JWST discovers a new barred spiral galaxy
An international team of astronomers reports the discovery of a new massive barred spiral galaxy. The newfound galaxy, designated M1149-BSG-z5, was identified using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The finding was detailed ...
Phys.org / A holoparasitic plant replaces its own genes with host DNA to survive
All living organisms are known to inherit genes, DNA sequences that contain instructions for producing specific proteins and performing biological functions, from their parents. In some cases, however, genes can also shift ...
Medical Xpress / Chlorhexidine blend wipes out 99.9% of Candida parapsilosis cells in lab tests
A 0.5% alcohol-based chlorhexidine antiseptic, combined with the natural organic compounds eugenol and menthol, can eliminate 99.9% of Candida parapsilosis cells. This fungus is one of the leading causes of infections in ...
Medical Xpress / AI-guided CRISPR uncovers oxytocin receptor as unexpected psoriasis drug target
Biohub researchers have performed what they believe is the first genome-wide CRISPR study of primary human adult skin cells, then used an AI model to mine the results for overlooked drug targets for psoriasis. They found ...
Medical Xpress / One in five people will develop cancer in their lifetime, report finds
New findings in a report led by the American Cancer Society (ACS) reveal an urgent picture of a growing global cancer burden and underscore the lifesaving potential of stronger prevention and equitable access to care. According ...
Medical Xpress / Team discovers metabolic pathway in cell nucleus that helps cancer progress
A team at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center has identified a novel metabolic pathway that plays a key role in enabling cancer to progress through gene activation. In a new study published in the journal Nature Communications, ...
Tech Xplore / Study links cognitive difficulties to compulsive gaming rather than gaming time itself
The amount of time young people spend playing video games is not enough to judge whether gaming is linked to cognitive difficulties. A new study of several thousand adolescents shows that gaming time and symptoms of Internet ...
Medical Xpress / Nursing scholar calls for greater recognition of nurses' 'dual expertise'
In a letter published in The Lancet, Penn Nursing's Kathryn Connell, Ph.D., RN, CCRN, argues that nursing is a profession where "dual expertise" is widespread yet structurally invisible. Connell calls for urgent systemic ...
Phys.org / Heat-shrinking materials get cleaner production route with lower temperatures and finer particles
Among the many modern technologies that shape life today, functional oxide materials are found in almost everything, from advanced electronics to energy-efficient systems. Functional oxides with high-valent metal ions are ...
Phys.org / Study unveils new genetic screen for understanding human development
A new genetic screening method allows researchers to efficiently modulate individual genes across entire tissues and provides new insights into human development. The research, published in eLife, is described as a landmark ...
Phys.org / Ultra-compact sensor paves the way for more powerful and scalable silicon quantum processors
Researchers from the Quantum Hardware group at CIC nanoGUNE, in collaboration with the British company Quantum Motion, have demonstrated an advanced readout sensor for spin qubits that, while being more compact than previous ...
