Medical Xpress / Encapsulated ovarian donor tissue restores natural hormone cycles in mice
With the aim of restoring female hormone cycles for pediatric cancer survivors, a team of University of Michigan researchers has demonstrated that donated ovarian tissue, hidden from the immune system in a capsule, can produce ...
Phys.org / Tuned nanocrystals speed light-driven reactions by matching molecular vibrations
Adjusting the size and chemistry of nanocrystals within an ultrathin surface can speed up light-driven chemical reactions, according to a University of Michigan Engineering study published in the Journal of the American Chemical ...
Medical Xpress / Novel biomarker predicts chemotherapy response in triple-negative breast cancer
Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have developed a new computational approach designed to better account for changes in gene expression within tumors relative to their unique microenvironments. ...
Phys.org / Fungus with species-jumping genes threatens coffee crops. 'Resurrecting' fungal genomes may help understand it
For anyone who relies on coffee to start their day, coffee wilt disease may be the most important disease you've never heard of. This fungal disease has repeatedly reshaped the global coffee supply over the past century, ...
Medical Xpress / Families, peers biggest predictors of early substance use in children with pain, mental health symptoms
Children with co-occurring persistent pain and mental health symptoms face higher risk for early substance use, but the strongest predictors of whether a child starts using alcohol, tobacco or cannabis by age 14 are family ...
Medical Xpress / Nanoparticle-based gene editing could expand treatment options for cystic fibrosis
UCLA researchers have developed a lipid nanoparticle-based gene-editing approach capable of inserting an entire healthy gene into human airway cells, restoring key biological function in a laboratory model of cystic fibrosis ...
Medical Xpress / Missing ANGPTL4 gene in mice reprograms immunity, shielding against gut inflammation
A novel study using a mouse model has found that the absence of the angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4) protein during development triggers a long-lasting reprogramming of the immune system that protects against intestinal inflammation. ...
Medical Xpress / Mindfulness practices found to significantly reduce depression symptoms, especially for those with early-life adversity
A new study reveals that mindfulness practices may significantly reduce depression symptoms, particularly in people who have experienced early-life adversity, such as childhood abuse and neglect. The work is published in ...
Phys.org / Offshore wind farms change ocean current patterns, simulations show
By 2050, offshore wind power capacity in the North Sea is set to increase more than tenfold. Researchers at the Helmholtz Center Hereon have analyzed the long-term overall impact of this large number of wind farms on the ...
Phys.org / Olympic Games and climate action: Time for a fundamental shift, say researchers
The carbon footprint of the Olympic Games remains substantial, despite reforms by the International Olympic Committee. A new study by the University of Lausanne shows that the Olympic model needs further reform to comply ...
Phys.org / Longer roots for drought? How an edited protein could reshape crop resilience
What's the key to growing resilient crops that can survive tough conditions? Researchers at the University of Missouri are getting to the root of it—literally. Researchers in the Walter Gassmann lab at Mizzou's Bond Life ...
Tech Xplore / AI and kindness: Are we morally obligated to be kind to Grok?
Would you ever kick your Roomba? Or leave a scathing review of the robot at a Thai restaurant who delivered your green curry? What about sending a mean message to ChatGPT?
