Medical Xpress / Dry eye often precedes autoimmune disease diagnosis, new study finds
Frequent dry eyes may signal more than simple irritation and could be an early warning sign of an autoimmune disease. This symptom has long been associated with Sjögren's Disease, a chronic autoimmune condition in which ...
Phys.org / Thousands of dead puffins are washing up on Europe's beaches—why it's been such a dangerous winter for seabirds
February 2026 has seen thousands of dead seabirds washing up along the coastlines of the UK, France, Spain and Portugal. There's evidence that these "wrecks" (where large numbers of seabirds are found along beaches) are becoming ...
Phys.org / Chemists create iridium compounds for the synthesis of 'smart' antitumor drugs
Chemists from St. Petersburg University has developed a new family of luminescent iridium complexes that, for the first time, realize a unique mechanism of photoactivated proton transfer. In the future, this discovery will ...
Phys.org / Bioengineered neuronal 'circuit board' mimics conditions of the human brain
A new bioengineered neuronal circuit board "BioConNet" allows scientists to artificially engineer human brain-like wiring at scale and can be used to engineer any possible circuit. The fully programmable, open-source system ...
Medical Xpress / Children with poor oral health more often develop cardiovascular disease as adults, new study suggests
A tooth cavity and bleeding gums is a common scenario among Danish children—and one that researchers now connect to health problems long after the last baby tooth has left the mouth. Children who have multiple tooth cavities ...
Medical Xpress / Molecular defect in taste cells causes long-term taste loss after COVID
Scientists have identified molecular and structural changes in taste buds that may explain why a small subset of people experience long-term taste loss after COVID-19 infection. The study, published in Chemical Senses, provides ...
Phys.org / ISS photo captures Atlantic sunglint 263 miles up, showing mirror-like ocean glare
"Sunlight" beams off a partly cloudy Atlantic Ocean just after sunrise as the International Space Station orbited 263 miles above on March 5, 2025. This is an example of sunglint, an optical phenomenon that occurs when sunlight ...
Medical Xpress / A blood marker could predict how people respond to antidepressants
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is among the most common psychiatric disorders, affecting approximately 330 million people worldwide. This disorder is characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, low motivation, ...
Medical Xpress / A simple energy molecule gives female mice a memory boost
A team of scientists from the U.S. has discovered that acetate, a simple molecule involved in how our bodies create energy, can significantly increase long-term memory in female mice. The researchers were looking for a direct ...
Phys.org / Why plants may bloom earlier: Tiny dew droplets are triggering early flowering in plants
Plants around the world are flowering earlier in the year, a trend attributed to climate change. But there could be another hitherto hidden trigger. Scientists led by researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences suggest ...
Medical Xpress / New record: Laser for surgery cuts bone deeper than before
Lasers cut precisely and without contact—ideal for surgery. The problem is that in hard tissues such as bone, they are too slow and do not cut deep enough. Researchers at the University of Basel have now demonstrated a ...
Medical Xpress / Eye tests reveal brain trauma in veterans more than a decade after concussions
A study by researchers at the CU Anschutz Marcus Institute for Brain Health suggests that veterans with concussions may continue to show subtle but measurable brain function differences more than a decade after their injury. ...
