Medical Xpress / Parkinson's gene linked to early dysfunction in brain cells
Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered how a major Parkinson's disease gene disrupts the brain's most vulnerable dopamine-producing neurons before detectable neuronal loss. The study offers new clues for developing ...
Tech Xplore / Adaptive organic transistor for wearable electronics switches roles as salt concentration changes
Wearable electronics are gradually evolving from simple sensors into feature-rich devices that can make basic decisions and support medical care in real time. To fully realize this vision, wearable systems must be soft and ...
Medical Xpress / Medical AI benefits vary by expertise, with nonexperts more easily misled
A one-size-fits-all approach likely isn't the best strategy when designing artificial intelligence systems that assist users in disease diagnosis.
Medical Xpress / Gene mutations behind serious bone marrow conditions identified
Inherited bone marrow failure syndrome, or IBMFS, describes a group of disorders in which inherited genetic abnormalities impair the bone marrow's ability to produce sufficient healthy blood cells. Patients with these disorders ...
Medical Xpress / Blood marker tracks hidden progression in multiple sclerosis
Modern therapies have transformed care for people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Yet the disease continues to progress in a substantial proportion of patients, even in the absence of relapses. Detecting and treating this gradual ...
Phys.org / How the brain helps protect fertility from heat-induced damage
As global temperatures continue to rise, scientists are racing to understand why heat so profoundly threatens fertility across the animal kingdom. A new study from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and collaborators has ...
Tech Xplore / Four questions to know your data protection competence
The protection of personal data is now a key part of individual literacy in everyday life. Nevertheless, researchers regularly observe a contradiction among the general public, which they describe as the "privacy paradox." ...
Medical Xpress / Sweat, brain signals, eye movements and AI used to detect depression and suicide risk
Suicide rates in the U.S. have been rising at an alarming rate over the past few decades, with rates among veterans 1.5 times higher than those of the general public, USC Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work's study ...
Phys.org / Supergene solves evolutionary puzzle of mirror-image flowers
The left-right asymmetry of South African butterfly lilies (genus Wachendorfia) has been regarded as a classic evolutionary puzzle for more than a century. Due to the mirror-image arrangement of the floral parts, the plants ...
Phys.org / Climate change could dramatically reduce water flowing from the West's headwaters
The small mountain streams that feed many of the West's rivers may face a much drier future. A new study led by NAU researchers found that groundwater-fed streamflow, known as base flow, has been steadily declining across ...
Medical Xpress / How oxygen levels synchronize heart muscle and blood vessel development
During development, regional dips in oxygen levels serve as a signal that triggers the coordinated growth of heart muscle and coronary vessels, according to a study led by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine. The findings, ...
Phys.org / Ultrafast X-ray flashes partially reverse the damage they cause, enabling brighter, more accurate imaging
The interaction between X-rays and matter can be actively controlled, according to an international research team led by the University of Hamburg and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory that has succeeded in producing bright ...
