Medical Xpress / Open 3D Human Organ Atlas lets users explore anatomy in unprecedented detail
An international team of scientists and clinicians has announced the launch of a new open-access 3D portal that allows users to explore intact human organs in unprecedented detail—from the whole organ down to individual ...
Medical Xpress / Is AI replacing the work of skilled radiologists? They give us their thoughts
Since the 2010s, breakthroughs in AI have prompted discussion about their implications for work, including a possible "workless" future. Those forecasted to face replacement are no longer only the lower-skilled, but also ...
Phys.org / Embryogenesis in 4D: A developmental atlas for genes and cells
How does a tiny cluster of cells become an embryo with a head, trunk, and tail? And how do thousands of genes coordinate this development? A new imaging method makes it possible to visualize the activity of thousands of genes ...
Phys.org / Life-limiting heat exposure has doubled since the 1950s, study finds
Climate change since the 1950s has doubled the amount of time per year that millions of people around the world must endure heat so extreme that everyday physical activities cannot be done safely, a new study concludes.
Phys.org / 3D-printed rattlesnake reveals how the rattle is a warning signal
A team of researchers from The University of Texas at El Paso has uncovered new evidence explaining why the rattlesnake's rattle—one of nature's most iconic warning signals—has persisted and proven so effective across ...
Medical Xpress / Algorithm allows paramedics to predict brain damage risk after cardiac arrest
Results from the RAPID-MIRACLE trial have found, for the first time, that the widely used MIRACLE2 risk score can be applied outside a hospital setting to accurately predict brain injury following a cardiac arrest. This could ...
Phys.org / A new model defines an upper limit to planetary radiation belt intensity
We all know that stars radiate light and much more. But radiation belts can also surround many other celestial bodies, such as planets. These belts do not generate particles themselves—the belts receive them from nearby ...
Medical Xpress / Antibiotics can affect the gut microbiome for several years, study shows
Antibiotic treatments can affect the composition of the community of bacteria living in the gut, known as the gut microbiome, for a long time. A new study shows that certain types of antibiotics can be linked to changes in ...
Phys.org / Simple 'cocktail' of amino acids dramatically boosts power of mRNA therapies and CRISPR gene editing
Lipid nanoparticles, or LNPs, best known as the delivery vehicle for the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines received by billions of people, are now at the center of a much larger medical revolution. Researchers are racing to use them ...
Medical Xpress / First-of-its-kind analysis reveals the structural variant landscape driving pediatric cancer development
The first and largest dataset of genomic structure variations specific to childhood cancers was published today by scientists from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and the National Cancer Institute. The researchers assembled ...
Medical Xpress / Pesticide exposure in preconception period linked to lower newborn Apgar scores
Women exposed to agricultural pesticides, even before becoming pregnant, may be putting their newborn's health at risk. A new University of Arizona study links those exposures to poorer health in newborns, raising questions ...
Phys.org / Strontium optical clock accurate to within 1 second over 30 billion years
Researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China have achieved a major breakthrough in optical clock technology, developing a strontium optical lattice clock with stability and uncertainty both surpassing ...
