Medical Xpress / PFAS mixture disrupts normal placental development, which is important for a healthy pregnancy
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of nearly 10,000 long-lasting chemical compounds that stay in the environment and have been linked to adverse health effects on humans, including pregnant women and their ...
Medical Xpress / Small team, big impact: Automation helps relieve symptoms to keep cancer patients out of the ER
For many people living with cancer, symptoms such as pain, anxiety or insomnia can quickly spiral into an emergency room visit. Such visits can be financially costly and take an emotional toll on patients and their caregivers.
Phys.org / Sunlight, water and air power a cleaner method for making hydrogen peroxide
Cornell scientists have discovered a potentially transformative approach to manufacturing one of the world's most widely used chemicals—hydrogen peroxide—using nothing more than sunlight, water and air. The research is ...
Phys.org / CRISPR-based platform shines a brighter light on the link between cells and disease
For years, Yale researchers David Breslow and Mustafa Khokha have worked together with a similar challenge in their sights—trying to capture the interplay between certain genes and the pediatric developmental disorders ...
Phys.org / Shapeshifting gates guard the cell nucleus, challenging old ideas
An international study led by the University of Basel has discovered that nuclear pore complexes—tiny gateways in the nuclear membrane—are not rigid or gel-like as once thought. Their interiors are dynamically organized, ...
Medical Xpress / AI method recovers missing movement data to enhance behavioral analysis
Scientists learn about the brain's inner workings by studying what animals or people do, how they move, react, and make choices. Behavior is complex, as animals and humans can move in countless different manners. Yet, neuroscience ...
Tech Xplore / EU hits Meta with antitrust probe over WhatsApp AI features
The EU said Thursday it had opened an antitrust probe to determine if the way Meta is rolling out AI features in WhatsApp breaches the bloc's competition rules.
Phys.org / How sound moves on Mars
Acoustic signals have been important markers during NASA's Mars missions. Measurements of sound can provide information both about Mars itself—such as turbulence in its atmosphere, changes in its temperature, and its surface ...
Phys.org / Researchers highlight need for caution in selecting global soil moisture data
A new study led by Prof. Duan Weili from the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography (XIEG) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences emphasizes the importance of selecting appropriate datasets for global soil moisture research. ...
Tech Xplore / How scientists are growing computers from human brain cells—and why they want to keep doing it
As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current phase of the technology, a different approach is gaining attention: using living human brain cells as computational hardware.
Medical Xpress / New insight into how protein TDP-43 affects gene expression in ALS and FTD
Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) are medical conditions characterized by the progressive degradation of cells in the brain, ...
Medical Xpress / A molecular 'reset button' for reading the brain through a blood test
Tracking how genes switch on and off in the brain is essential for understanding many neurological diseases, yet the tools to monitor this activity are often invasive or unable to capture subtler changes over time. One emerging ...
