Medical Xpress / How breakfast primes the response to the hormones that manage blood sugar
Vanderbilt researchers have discovered why the adage, "breakfast is the most important meal of the day," holds weight—especially for the 1 in 9 adults worldwide living with diabetes. Glucose (the simplest form of sugar) is ...
Medical Xpress / Some hair loss in men is linked to weight loss drug use
Men already genetically at risk for the most common form of hair loss have a 7% added risk of losing their hair if they use drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy and Zepbound for type 2 diabetes and obesity, a new study shows.
Medical Xpress / How meal timing programs the liver's daily rhythms
Deep inside the brain, a master clock synchronizes thousands of molecular clocks scattered throughout the body, and together, they anticipate signals such as the rising sun, the coming night and the daily rhythms of life. ...
Phys.org / What's in an 'O'? Unusual Greek spelling may unlock mystery of ring tied to Pontius Pilate
It's a small, simple ring made of copper alloy and engraved with a handful of Greek letters and the image of a pottery vessel. But its unremarkable appearance belies a remarkable history: The signet was likely connected in ...
Phys.org / Turbulent times for star formation in Stephan's Quintet
Star formation in galaxies is closely linked to molecular gas. In the distant past, when galaxy interactions were more common, these encounters compressed molecular gas, causing dense clouds to collapse under their own gravity ...
Phys.org / Davyne changes color beyond human sight, opening path to invisible security tags
While studying the properties of hackmanite, researchers created a new material called davyne that changes color in the near-infrared region. The color change cannot be detected with the human eye, but only with a spectrometer ...
Medical Xpress / Genetics of personality may shape more life outcomes than previously thought
An international consortium of researchers found that more than 1,200 different genetic variants are associated with the Big Five personality traits—and, surprisingly, these personality genetics are linked to dozens of life ...
Tech Xplore / Engineers create a world-first in floating titanium
Research led by RMIT University shows the 3D-printed titanium lattice—made up of hollow, interconnected struts filled with foam—not only floats but also withstands seawater exposure and is stronger than the stainless steel ...
Phys.org / Ancient DNA suggests western farming reached Gansu without mass migration
A multidisciplinary study has answered key questions about how agricultural practices diffused into ancient Gansu from Eurasia, as well as described population movements and burial practices in the Gansu region thousands ...
Medical Xpress / Neural networks reveal how experience shapes learning in both brains and machines
A new study has used a type of machine learning called a neural network to reveal how different kinds of training can change how learning happens—both in machines and in living brains.
Phys.org / AI-designed proteins enable a new generation of RNA transporters
RNA-based therapeutics use RNA as a blueprint that enables cells to produce specific proteins—including proteins that can precisely modify genes. For this to work, the RNA must reach the inside of the cell intact. Delivery ...
Phys.org / 'Hidden order in disorder' makes nanodevices easier to design
Augmented reality (AR) glasses, lenses thinner than a human hair, and holograms floating above your fingertips may sound like technologies from science fiction. At the heart of these emerging technologies, however, lies a ...
