Phys.org / Dissolvable hydrogel could enable personalized bone implants
Bones broken in a skiing accident usually heal on their own. But if the break is too severe or a bone tumor needs to be removed, surgeons insert an implant that enables the bone to grow back together. Implants often consist ...
Medical Xpress / International trauma analysis finds big transfusion differences, with whole blood common in low-resource hospitals
A new international study published in eClinicalMedicine has mapped global blood transfusion practices for life-threatening abdominal injuries, highlighting significant variation in care worldwide and opportunities for health ...
Phys.org / Value investing's pulse returns, showing predictable swings in value-growth performance
A new financial study from the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business examines nearly five decades of market data and finds that the decline of value investing appears more cyclical than permanent. David Ng, professor at ...
Medical Xpress / Exploring why people with autism may be more likely to get Parkinson's disease
Researchers at the University of Missouri may have uncovered a clue explaining why young adults with autism are roughly six times more likely to develop Parkinson's disease later in life. In a recent study, Mizzou researchers ...
Phys.org / MeerKAT discovers record-breaking cosmic laser halfway across the universe
Astronomers using the MeerKAT radio telescope in South Africa have discovered the most distant hydroxyl megamaser ever detected. It is located in a violently merging galaxy more than 8 billion light-years away, opening a ...
Tech Xplore / TweetyBERT parses canary songs to better understand how brains learn language
A new machine learning model, TweetyBERT, automatically segments and classifies canary vocalizations with expert-level accuracy, offering a scalable platform for neuroscience, providing insights into the neural basis of how ...
Phys.org / DNA study uncovers continental origins of Britain's Bronze Age population
When ancient DNA studies began to gain attention, little more than a decade ago, the view took hold among geneticists that everything we thought we knew about the peopling of Europe by modern humans was wrong. The story was ...
Medical Xpress / HIV can develop resistance to blockbuster antiviral lenacapavir—but at a cost to the virus

Phys.org / Light in the forest: Computer simulations show increased tree diversity from competition for canopy light
If a tree falls in the forest, it can create an opening for more incoming light, and that makes a significant impact on the surrounding environment, according to new research. An international science team has used supercomputer ...
Medical Xpress / Brain neuropeptides identified as key drivers behind delayed antidepressant effects
A research team led by Professor Oh Yong-Seok of the Department of Brain Sciences at the Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology has, for the first time, identified the key cause of the "treatment delay" phenomenon, ...
Medical Xpress / Pathogen-agnostic testing reveals hidden respiratory threats in negative samples
The COVID-19 pandemic brought the term "Polymerase Chain Reaction testing" into the mainstream. The PCR method is a type of nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) that detects a pathogen by finding and amplifying components ...
