Medical Xpress / FLT3 inhibitors trigger ferroptosis, exposing new weakness in acute myeloid leukemia
A study published in Nature Cell Biology reports a new vulnerability in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that might lead to novel therapies to treat the cancer while minimizing harm to normal cells. Researchers at Baylor College ...
Medical Xpress / Medical AI benefits vary by expertise, with nonexperts more easily misled
A one-size-fits-all approach likely isn't the best strategy when designing artificial intelligence systems that assist users in disease diagnosis.
Medical Xpress / Blood marker tracks hidden progression in multiple sclerosis
Modern therapies have transformed care for people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Yet the disease continues to progress in a substantial proportion of patients, even in the absence of relapses. Detecting and treating this gradual ...
Phys.org / How the brain helps protect fertility from heat-induced damage
As global temperatures continue to rise, scientists are racing to understand why heat so profoundly threatens fertility across the animal kingdom. A new study from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and collaborators has ...
Phys.org / Black silicon catalyst turns carbon dioxide into methane with sunlight
Carbon dioxide is often viewed as a major contributor to climate change, but it can also become a valuable raw material. If scientists can efficiently convert carbon dioxide into useful fuels using sunlight, it would provide ...
Medical Xpress / Sweat, brain signals, eye movements and AI used to detect depression and suicide risk
Suicide rates in the U.S. have been rising at an alarming rate over the past few decades, with rates among veterans 1.5 times higher than those of the general public, USC Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work's study ...
Medical Xpress / Pretreatment CT scans may contain clues about the risk of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw
CT images taken before patients begin treatment with bone resorption inhibitors may contain measurable clues about who will later develop medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ), according to a retrospective study ...
Phys.org / Supergene solves evolutionary puzzle of mirror-image flowers
The left-right asymmetry of South African butterfly lilies (genus Wachendorfia) has been regarded as a classic evolutionary puzzle for more than a century. Due to the mirror-image arrangement of the floral parts, the plants ...
Medical Xpress / Q&A: Medicare spending on clinical care for people aging with HIV projected to rise steeply over next decade
As more Americans with HIV live into older age, Medicare spending on their care is projected to rise dramatically from $10.9 billion in 2026 to $27.3 billion in 2035, with HIV medications accounting for nearly two-thirds ...
Phys.org / Climate change could dramatically reduce water flowing from the West's headwaters
The small mountain streams that feed many of the West's rivers may face a much drier future. A new study led by NAU researchers found that groundwater-fed streamflow, known as base flow, has been steadily declining across ...
Phys.org / Ultrafast X-ray flashes partially reverse the damage they cause, enabling brighter, more accurate imaging
The interaction between X-rays and matter can be actively controlled, according to an international research team led by the University of Hamburg and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory that has succeeded in producing bright ...
Medical Xpress / New brain model suggests how regional chemistry shapes large-scale neural activity
Researchers have developed a computer model of the human cortex that links its microscopic chemistry to its brain-wide patterns of activity, providing new evidence that regional differences in receptor density help shape ...
