Medical Xpress / Personalized care could help more women achieve their breastfeeding goals, new research finds
Breastfeeding support should move beyond simply encouraging women to breastfeed and instead focus on providing personalized, compassionate and culturally sensitive care, according to new research published in Women and Birth ...
Phys.org / Membrane nanostructures reshape in water, revealing route to better ion transport
Next-generation energy devices like fuel cells and water electrolyzers depend on ion-exchange membranes that allow only water and certain ions to pass through.
Medical Xpress / People with frailty explain what they really want from digital health tools
"Older adults with pre-frailty and frailty are vulnerable to malnutrition, yet they often lack access to tailored, credible and accessible nutrition education," says researcher Adeline Lau, from Flinders University's Caring ...
Phys.org / Purple corn offers a stable natural alternative to artificial food dyes
University of Missouri researchers are turning a unique variety of corn into an effective natural alternative to artificial food dyes.
Phys.org / Invasive species hit the Global South significantly harder than previously assumed
Invasive alien species are among the world's leading drivers of species extinction. However, previous global assessments of the geographic distribution of this damage suffered from a systematic "research bias": Because significantly ...
Medical Xpress / Onsite rapid testing leads to decrease in ER visits among long-term care residents
A study led by Sunnybrook Health Sciences Center, Michael Garron Hospital, Humber River Health and the University of Toronto, in partnership with 20 long-term care (LTC) homes across Toronto, has found that onsite rapid testing ...
Phys.org / Molecular switch that activates cell growth signaling may offer more precise route for anticancer therapy
Cells carry their own growth switches. When enough nutrients—amino acids in particular—are available, cells flip this switch on and begin to grow. Researchers at KAIST and Yonsei University have uncovered the molecular mechanism ...
Phys.org / New antimicrobials could help tackle deadly drug-resistant infections
Scientists at Imperial College London and the University of Manchester have developed a promising new way to create safer and more effective treatments for life-threatening fungal infections. The research, published today ...
Phys.org / California wildfire damage risk map uses factors most closely linked to severe property losses
By analyzing 100,000 California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection inspection records from 2013 to 2024, researchers at the University of California, Irvine have identified the key environmental and human factors ...
Phys.org / One LED produces four stable colors at room temperature
Full-color displays normally require separate red, green and blue light emitters. A team from the University of Osaka and Ritsumeikan University has demonstrated another approach: a single light-emitting layer that produces ...
Phys.org / Learning to better understand bone-like minerals
A University of California San Diego research team has found a better way to understand and stabilize hydroxyapatite, the calcium phosphate mineral that makes up much of our teeth and bones. By adding tiny amounts of europium, ...
Medical Xpress / Human tissue model tracks glioblastoma invasion cell by cell
Glioblastoma is a malignant brain tumor and is among the most aggressive cancers in humans. Despite multimodal therapy with surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, there is still no cure. A major reason is the tumor's invasive ...
