Phys.org / An open-source tool for automated consolidation of lipid data
In collaboration with the University of Vienna, the Technical University of Munich (TUM), and Heidelberg University, researchers at the TUD Dresden University of Technology have developed an innovative tool that significantly ...
Phys.org / Negotiation is a routine part of daily life, not a rare high-stakes event
Many people think of negotiation as something reserved for salary talks, car purchases, or business deals: infrequent, high-stake encounters most people would rather avoid. A new study shows that this assumption is misleading. ...
Phys.org / Color-sensing yeast could make biofactories more programmable and precise
Baker's yeast is one of biotechnology's most important microorganisms. It has long been used to leaven bread and ferment beer. More recently, advances in synthetic biology have enabled engineered yeast to convert sugar into ...
Medical Xpress / Simple blood test on a chip could help diagnose lung cancer
Researchers at Tel Aviv University have developed a new method for diagnosing lung cancer: a simple, fast, low-cost blood test that does not require DNA sequencing. The method identifies a chemical fingerprint of cancer cells ...
Phys.org / MRI study shows dogs can distinguish between human fear and sadness
Scientists—and dog lovers—have long known that dogs are remarkably good at interpreting our laughs, frowns and tears. But the biology behind this ability has remained largely unexplored until now. In a study published in ...
Medical Xpress / Restoring inhibitory neuron plasticity may reverse neurodevelopmental disorder symptoms, preclinical study suggests
Some of the symptoms of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), such as autism spectrum disorder and epilepsy, may result from dysfunction of certain neurons in the brain and their ability to change their properties in response ...
Medical Xpress / Blood-thinning medication linked to slower cognitive decline
People with both atrial fibrillation and Alzheimer's disease who are treated with modern NOAC blood-thinning medicines may experience a slower rate of cognitive decline. This is shown by a study from Karolinska Institutet ...
Phys.org / 'Lying mirror' uses structured surfaces to conceal optical information
Mirrors normally reveal what is placed in front of them, even when their curvature distorts a reflection. Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) have introduced a different optical concept: a "lying ...
Medical Xpress / Patients wary of governments, companies pushing AI as a rural health care solution
Two of the nation's most powerful health officials predict artificial intelligence will play a key role in solving rural America's health challenges. Health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told a panel of U.S. senators that ...
Phys.org / Illegal fishing captures up to 15% of global marine wild catch, analysis finds
Industrial-scale illegal fishing continues to undermine ocean sustainability, coastal livelihoods and global seafood markets—despite decades of regulation and recent advances in surveillance technology, according to new University ...
Medical Xpress / Single-cell atlas reveals how spinal neurons help coordinate walking and other rhythmic movements
Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital created a single-cell atlas of a key class of spinal neurons involved in motor coordination. From that resource, they identified a small subgroup of interneurons associated ...
Phys.org / Today's Mediterranean diet leans on olive oil, veggies and fish—But the ancients mainly ate bread
The Roman emperor Julian (332–363 CE) called bread the food that "among us is thought to be the most nourishing."
