Medical Xpress / Immunity for the long haul: Why some antibodies are built to last
When an infection strikes, the immune system produces antibodies to help fight it off. Some antibody responses can protect us for years, while others fade much sooner. Using a mouse model, a team of researchers led by The ...
Medical Xpress / Neural response measurements may offer new clues to how depression-related thoughts become automatic
Our brains do a lot of things automatically without a reasoning process involved—regulating our autonomic nervous system, for starters, and more mundane things like watching where we step so we don't trip. Our brains even ...
Medical Xpress / Beyond B cells: Rituximab response may reveal which kidney disease patients can stop steroids
Nephrotic syndrome is caused when the filtering system in the kidneys is damaged, allowing large amounts of protein to leak into the urine. It is usually treated with steroids, but in some cases, steroids alone are insufficient, ...
Tech Xplore / The future of robot-human collaboration
Humans are difficult to simulate. We are quick, complex thinkers, and our exact actions aren't predictable. So how can we sufficiently train robots to collaborate with us?
Medical Xpress / Newly discovered stem cell reveals potential drug target for spinal stenosis
Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and Hospital for Special Surgery have discovered the unspecialized stem cells that give rise to the body's tendons and ligaments, the tissues connecting muscles and bones.
Phys.org / FAST finds two mysterious hydrogen clouds with no visible stars
Astronomers have found two clouds of hydrogen near the Whirlpool galaxy that appear to contain almost no stars. The clouds, discovered with China's FAST radio telescope, each contain roughly 3 million times the mass of the ...
Tech Xplore / Bringing classical LDPC code design theory to quantum computers
Quantum error correction must detect and correct errors without directly reading the quantum information. Classical low-density parity check (LDPC) codes have a well-established design theory: by choosing how many checks ...
Phys.org / Peer-led computing camps engage children, study finds
High school student Khushi Khurana creates and leads coding and artificial intelligence (AI) summer camps for K–12 students in her community outside Philadelphia. Priya Kumar, PNC Technologies Career Development Professor ...
Phys.org / How to support children during home relocation
As cost-of-living pressures increase and the rental crisis worsens, many families are moving more often.
Phys.org / Excavations at Prado Vargas now span 140 square meters of a Neanderthal layer
The 2026 field season at Prado Vargas Cave, located in the village of Cornejo in the northern province of Burgos, Spain, within the Ojo Guareña karst complex, has expanded the excavation of Neanderthal sublevel 4D by 32 square ...
Phys.org / Not a cheetah: Ancient DNA reveals the surprising Arctic life of extinct North American cat
A new study led by researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, has overturned decades of assumptions about Miracinonyx trumani, the extinct predator popularly known as the American cheetah. By analyzing nuclear ...
Phys.org / Biologists find a hidden weak spot in how bacteria build the tails they use to move
New research from Indiana University has uncovered a previously unknown vulnerability in how bacteria build the whip-like tails they use to move. The researchers found that building these tails can put stress on the protective ...
