Medical Xpress / Novel blood test detects rejection after lung transplant
A simple blood test could one day replace invasive biopsies for detecting acute cellular rejection (ACR) after lung transplantation, an American Journal of Transplantation study finds.
Phys.org / From pore chemistry to carbon capture, new COFs push beyond membrane performance limits
Carbon dioxide (CO2) separation is central to technologies ranging from natural gas purification to hydrogen production and carbon management. One widely used approach relies on thin filtering materials called membranes. ...
Phys.org / Single-step 8-9x expansion reveals nanoscale centrioles without electron microscopy
In a study published in ACS Nano, researchers from National Taiwan University report a new expansion microscopy strategy termed high-fold homogeneous expansion microscopy (hiHomoExM), capable of achieving approximately 8–9× ...
Phys.org / Scientists reveal how dividing cells precisely trigger spindle formation
During animal cell division, a highly synchronized and tightly regulated dance of chromosomes takes place, ensuring the chromosomes split correctly into the two cells. Spindle fibers—complex machinery responsible for choreographing ...
Tech Xplore / '5-in-1' seed-sized surgical robot switches tools in under one second
Scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have developed a tiny seed-sized robot that can navigate across soft and uneven surfaces to perform five surgical functions wirelessly, paving the ...
Phys.org / Dying cells don't all release key inflammatory cytokine in the same way, research reveals
Researchers at Toho University have uncovered a previously unrecognized mechanism controlling how dying cells release the inflammatory cytokine IL-33, a key driver of allergy, asthma, tissue inflammation, and cancer progression. ...
Phys.org / Data-driven model captures dynamics of turbulence at scale
Whether the dust borne on the violent winds of a tornado or the sugar grains in a swirled cup of coffee, the behavior of particles carried along in turbulence is subject to some similarities—all of them difficult to predict ...
Phys.org / How cells identify and silence unwanted jumping genes
Transposons, DNA sequences that can self-replicate and move (jump) throughout the genome, are widespread and can affect cell survival if left unchecked. Cells control these "jumping genes" by silencing them, but little was ...
Tech Xplore / Musk defends AI ambitions as IPO reveals trouble
Elon Musk insists that his artificial intelligence venture xAI remains a serious competitor, pushing back against mounting doubts after revelations that the supercomputing facilities built to power his own AI models are being ...
Phys.org / The 700-million-year history of our blood cells
Almost all animal species—including humans—have blood cells, but between different species our blood tells different stories. The lineage and components of blood cells vary widely, and this variety is a testament to how animals ...
Medical Xpress / Chiari malformation and syringomyelia treatment: Large-scale clinical trial provides long-sought answers
A nationwide study has shed new light on how to most effectively and safely treat Chiari malformation and syringomyelia, rare neurological diseases that impact both children and young adults.
Medical Xpress / New antibiotic design could help treat drug-resistant infections
A new way of designing antibiotics could support the discovery of new treatments for drug-resistant infections. It could also help revive antibiotics that have lost effectiveness because bacteria have evolved over time to ...
