Phys.org / Cells adapt to aging by actively remodeling endoplasmic reticulum, study reveals
Improvements in public health have allowed humankind to survive to older ages than ever before, but, for many people, these added golden years are not spent in good health. Aging is a natural part of life, but it is associated ...
Medical Xpress / A single skin gene helps build the body's first line of immune defense
Researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) have discovered that a gene long known for shaping the skin's physical barrier also plays a crucial role in building and maintaining the skin's immune defense. The findings, ...
Phys.org / Stable boron compounds pave the way for easier drug development
A major step toward simpler drug development has been taken at the University of Gothenburg. In a new study, researchers have developed stable boron-fluorine compounds that make it possible to increase the effect or reduce ...
Medical Xpress / Study shows that key protein can slow aging
The United States is a rapidly aging country. By the year 2050, nearly 1 in 4 Americans will be 65 or older, and many will live into their 90s and beyond. This leads to health care and social support concerns and also begs ...
Medical Xpress / Hereditary disease CADASIL linked to changes in brain energy and blood vessels
A new study from Karolinska Institutet shows that damage to small blood vessels in the hereditary disease CADASIL may disrupt important brain functions in the hippocampus, a region involved in memory. The findings help explain ...
Tech Xplore / New AI system fixes 3D printing defects in real time
Additive manufacturing has revolutionized manufacturing by enabling customized, cost-effective products with minimal waste. However, with the majority of 3D printers operating on open-loop systems, they are notoriously prone ...
Tech Xplore / TSMC to make advanced AI semiconductors in Japan in boost for its chipmaking ambitions
Taiwan's chipmaker TSMC said Thursday it will be manufacturing some of the world's most cutting-edge semiconductors in Japan to meet booming artificial intelligence-related demand, in a boost for the country's chipmaking ...
Phys.org / Lack of information hinders regulation of 'green' nanopesticides
New formulations of nanopesticides with natural ingredients have appeared in specialized literature using terms such as "green pesticide," "ecological," "based on natural elements," and "with natural nanoparticles," among ...
Phys.org / Niobium's superconducting switch cuts near-field radiative heat transfer 20-fold
When cooled to its superconducting state, niobium blocks the radiative flow of heat 20 times better than when in its metallic state, according to a study led by a University of Michigan Engineering team. The experiment marks ...
Medical Xpress / Agent Orange exposure identified as a risk factor for rare skin cancer
A study of U.S. veterans led by investigators at Mass General Brigham has identified a possible link between exposure to the Agent Orange herbicide and a rare melanoma subtype less likely to be related to sun exposure. The ...
Medical Xpress / The life expectancy of people with intellectual disability is 16 years shorter than average, study finds
New research has revealed a confronting life-expectancy gap for people with intellectual disability in NSW, highlighting persistent and preventable inequities in health outcomes. The research, Life Expectancy of People with ...
Medical Xpress / Some neurons age early: Aging clock reveals molecules that protect against neurodegeneration
Using an aging clock, researchers from the University of Cologne have used the Caenorhabditis elegans model organism to demonstrate that nerve cells age differently. They identified both the causes of aging and molecules ...
