Medical Xpress / Chromatin protein DAXX may help preserve brain immune cells during aging
As humans get older, their brains undergo various changes that can affect mental functions. The cells known to be affected by aging include microglia, the primary immune cells in the brain and spinal cord, which help eliminate ...
Medical Xpress / Working with engineered stone countertops can lead to silicosis lung disease
There are substantial health hazards to working with engineered stone countertops, as an article on silicosis, a disease caused by inhaling silica crystals, illustrates in a study appearing in the Canadian Medical Association ...
Phys.org / Amino acids and a bone mineral may help control magnesium implant breakdown, three student papers suggest
Seeing a bachelor's thesis published in a scientific journal is relatively uncommon. For three theses linked to the same research group to result in scientific publications within just three months is downright rare. Yet ...
Phys.org / For many group-living females, breeding and raising young are shared endeavors
Some female animals living in groups raise offspring that are not their own, sometimes without reproducing themselves. While the behavior of cooperatively breeding species is well documented, some aspects remain poorly understood.
Tech Xplore / Anthropic says its model Claude is helping to build the next version of itself
Anthropic's Claude is helping the company develop the next, more intelligent version of the model, the artificial intelligence lab said in an announcement Thursday.
Medical Xpress / Creatine may preserve muscle during weight loss while boosting strength
Creatine has become one of the most talked-about supplements for building muscle, boosting performance and supporting healthy aging. New research from Texas A&M University suggests its potential benefits may be especially ...
Phys.org / Virtual biotech company puts thousands of AI scientist agents to work on drug discovery
The latest company to spin out of a Stanford Medicine lab is a biotech undertaking with 37,000 employees—and none of them are human. There's no lab space, no lunch breaks and no payroll. It's an artificial intelligence-powered ...
Phys.org / Japanese supercomputer simulations may explain Webb's Little Red Dots
Of all the discoveries from the James Webb Space Telescope, the multitude of Little Red Dots it has observed is among the most enigmatic. Now, simulations using the Japanese Supercomputer ATERUI III have explained the nature ...
Phys.org / Bone strength study reveals new clues about human evolution
Bipedalism, or walking on two legs, is one of the key features that distinguishes humans from other apes. But when and why our ancestors transitioned from a life often spent in trees to a life spent almost exclusively on ...
Medical Xpress / How a single viral protein hijacks immune cells to supercharge COVID-19 infection
In the sickest COVID-19 patients, SARS-CoV-2 doesn't just cause severe damage by directly infecting airway cells. The virus can also trigger hyperinflammation—a cycle in which immune cells themselves become infected, stop ...
Phys.org / Laser experiments recreate solar flare physics and reveal consistent magnetic reconnection rates
Magnetic reconnection is a process that occurs when the magnetic fields of a conductive plasma quickly rearrange and release massive amounts of stored magnetic energy. It is widely thought to be the underlying mechanism behind ...
Phys.org / Time is running out to catch a giant planet's strange orbit
A team of researchers, including those from the University of Tokyo, spotted a rare kind of planet that's unusually hot and eccentric. TOI-1355 b orbits its star, TOI-1355, which is also much hotter than our sun, in a strange ...
