Medical Xpress / How bones make marrow: Newly identified 'organizer' cells also reappear after fractures
Bone marrow is the spongy tissue located within the hollow center of bones, serving as the primary site for the continuous production of red blood cells, platelets, and white blood cells. Despite its physiological importance, ...
Medical Xpress / Contrast agents in imaging—do they really harm the kidneys?
"Contrast harms the kidneys"—this belief has been present among patients for years, and sometimes also among physicians. In clinical practice, it may raise concerns about imaging examinations and procedures that use contrast ...
Phys.org / Using AI to supercharge environmental causes on social media
Researchers Dr. Noushin Mohammadian and Prof. Dr. Omid Fatahi Valilai of Constructor University in Bremen have presented a new strategy that merges social media intelligence, behavioral assessment, and AI-assisted content ...
Medical Xpress / Cellular pathways may underlie some differences in physical fitness
Patterns of molecular activity in the blood may hold clues not only to how fit someone is, but also to the biological processes that support physical performance. Researchers at MIT, GE HealthCare, and the U.S. Military Academy ...
Tech Xplore / No batteries, just body heat: Demonstrating the potential of battery-free sensing
As devices for wireless sensing systems become smaller and more complex, finding suitable power sources for them is becoming increasingly difficult. However, advances in low-power sensing technology may allow such systems ...
Phys.org / Tiny DNA fragments, big agricultural insights: New genomic approach helps improve crop resilience
The genes that could help the world's crops survive drought, heat, and disease probably already exist. But much of this genetic diversity remains hidden within ancient plant varieties and forgotten seed collections, among ...
Medical Xpress / Mental defeat can worsen chronic pain, researchers say
U.K. resident Fiona McNiven can tell you how chronic pain can wear a person down, as she spent more than three decades battling muscle and neuropathic pain.
Medical Xpress / New research signals a promising advance in endometriosis diagnosis

Tech Xplore / Battery-free textile turns clothing into a real-time blood pressure monitor
Over the past decades, technological advances have opened remarkable possibilities for the detection and monitoring of various physiological signals associated with heart health (e.g., heart rate and ECG), sleep stages and ...
Phys.org / New metal-free biaryl method could simplify drug and materials synthesis
Researchers at the Institute of Science Tokyo have developed a simple and efficient method for synthesizing polyfunctionalized biaryls without transition-metal catalysts or complex multistep prefunctionalization. Through ...
Phys.org / Why do high-speed particles bounce higher in wet collisions?
Researchers have uncovered a counterintuitive phenomenon in collision dynamics: high-speed particles bounce back from wet walls much more strongly than expected. Integrating experimental observations with advanced numerical ...
Medical Xpress / Digital twin can reveal alcohol consumption in crime cases
Using a so-called digital twin, it is possible to predict with greater precision than at present how much alcohol a person has consumed and at what time. The study was conducted by researchers at Linköping University and ...
