Phys.org / Australian sea lion pups learn diving and foraging skills from their mothers
Research from Adelaide University and the South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI) has shown for the first time that Australian sea lion pups can learn foraging behavior from their mothers. Social information ...
Phys.org / System isolates single extracellular vesicle surface proteins to map function
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are tiny biological bubbles that carry nucleic acids and proteins between cells, playing an essential role in tissue repair, neuroprotection and immune health. By isolating the surface proteins ...
Phys.org / New study highlights the importance of careful multiple-choice question construction
Medical, dental and master's students in biomedical sciences frequently take standardized, multiple-choice question tests to assess their foundational knowledge. Reasons for its widespread use include reliability, efficiency, ...
Tech Xplore / For solar power to truly provide affordable energy access, we need to deploy it better, say researchers
Small household solar power systems have been gaining traction—and investment—as a means to provide affordable and sustainable energy to those living without access to electricity. But new research led by the University ...
Medical Xpress / Lymphovenous bypass could be potential surgical treatment for Alzheimer's disease
A small but growing body of evidence suggests that a minimally invasive surgical procedure called lymphovenous anastomosis (LVA) might be an effective treatment for Alzheimer's disease (AD), according to a special article ...
Medical Xpress / Nutrient timing found to influence gene activity in adipose tissue
Human metabolism is regulated by internal clocks, the so-called circadian rhythms. Many processes, such as sugar uptake, fat burning, or hormone release, oscillate during the day, i.e., they fluctuate and exhibit characteristic ...
Medical Xpress / Why our immune system remembers vaccinations for decades
Why can the human immune system often remember a vaccination for a whole lifetime? Researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and Universitätsklinikum Erlangen have now investigated this question. ...
Phys.org / When smaller means better: How device scaling enhances memory performance
Shrinking ferroelectric tunnel junctions can significantly boost their performance in memory devices, as reported by researchers from Science Tokyo. The team fabricated nanoscale junctions directly on silicon substrates and ...
Medical Xpress / A promising new drug for an invasive type of breast cancer
EPFL researchers have developed preclinical models for invasive lobular carcinoma and trialed a new drug. It slows tumor growth effectively by targeting specific features of the disease and opening the door to future clinical ...
Phys.org / Breadcrumbs offer fossil fuel–free production of everyday goods
The humble breadcrumb could hold the key to cutting out fossil fuels from one of the chemical industry's most widely used reactions, according to a new study. Scientists have found a one-pot microbial formula that uses waste ...
Phys.org / Ice Age erosion may explain Appalachians' smoother northern peaks
Hike north on the Appalachian Trail and the scenery slowly transforms. Rugged, steep ridgelines in Tennessee and Virginia soften into the broad summits and smooth peaks of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. According to new research ...
