Medical Xpress / How high‑quality friendship supports teen well-being
Are friends important to teens' lives? Absolutely.
Phys.org / Why Britons disagree about poverty: They draw the line differently
People with different political beliefs do not only disagree about how much poverty exists in Britain but they also differ over whether the same material circumstances should be defined as poverty, according to new research ...
Medical Xpress / New guidance introduces framework for assessing cardiovascular risk and fitness for duty in tactical athletes
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading medical cause of duty-related deaths among tactical athletes, including military personnel, firefighters, law enforcement officers, emergency medical responders, astronauts and ...
Medical Xpress / MS therapy uses patients' red blood cells to curb autoimmune attacks without broadly suppressing immunity
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease that particularly affects young adults. The disease is driven by immune cells—primarily what are known as T lymphocytes. These cells normally fight off ...
Tech Xplore / New probabilistic method improves how robots localize and map familiar objects
Reliable navigation, place recognition and object interaction require autonomous robots to maintain precise environmental maps. Semantic simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) adds meaning to a robot's map by representing ...
Phys.org / Single amino acid swap expands nanoparticle vaccine approach to influenza viruses
Influenza viruses constantly shapeshift to evade recognition by the immune system. This shapeshifting occurs in critical proteins like hemagglutinin (HA), which controls how the virus attaches to human cells before entering ...
Medical Xpress / Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency may raise preterm birth risk, genetic analysis suggests
Researchers at the University of Oulu have identified alpha-1 antitrypsin as a potential target for preventing spontaneous preterm birth. In a large genetic study of more than 200,000 mothers, a variant in the SERPINA1 gene, ...
Phys.org / Looking back to forecast the future of lobster
For generations, the lobster fishery has been central to the cultural and economic identity of Maine and Atlantic Canada. Predicting what the future holds for the species—and the people who depend on it—has long been a priority ...
Tech Xplore / Nature-inspired 3D printing could improve large-scale renewable energy storage
Researchers have created a 3D-printed electrode that could help make it easier and safer to store large amounts of renewable energy generated by wind and solar farms.
Phys.org / Bees see the world in more ways than previously thought
The honey bee has held a special place in vision research. It is one of the best-studied insects, and much of what scientists know about how bees perceive the world is based on studies of honey bees.
Phys.org / A never-before-seen picture of eagle migrations
In 1899, scientists began tracking avian migration by placing a small ring with an identifier around birds' ankles. Researchers then had to recapture the birds elsewhere, leaving the journey between those points a mystery. ...
Phys.org / Hidden protein recycling hubs discovered inside human sperm cells
Researchers at VIB, VUB and the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology (UK) have discovered a hidden feature of human sperm cells. Using advanced imaging technologies, they discovered specialized compartments ...
