Phys.org / Protein Rac1 plays dual roles in repairing damaged kidney, study finds
The kidney's proximal tubule reabsorbs water, glucose, ions and other small molecules from the urine and thus maintains the body's supply of these essential constituents. The tubule can be easily damaged by ischemia, or poor ...
Phys.org / Researchers solve mystery of universe's 'little red dots'
Since the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) went into operation, red dots in its images have puzzled researchers around the world. Now, researchers from the University of Copenhagen have explained these enigmatic findings, ...
Medical Xpress / Small molecules could treat Crohn's disease by mimicking a protective gene variant
An estimated 3 million Americans have an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. But a lucky few individuals are far less likely to develop IBD because they have a rare variant of a ...
Medical Xpress / Physical therapy research highlights the toll of arthritis on the workforce, as well as the path forward
According to new research from the University of Delaware, nearly 40% of American adults ages 18 to 64 with arthritis—almost 10 million people—say the medical condition is limiting their ability to work.
Medical Xpress / Brazilian research reveals how some types of breast cancer 'evade' treatment
Brazilian researchers have identified previously unknown forms of a protein linked to breast cancer. The discovery contributes to our understanding of variability in responses to treatment, even with the most advanced therapies.
Phys.org / Global inequality in parks undercuts the 'suburban dream,' suggests research
Huge inequality between inner-city and suburban parks across the world could be threatening well-being globally, suggests a study from King's College London and Nokia Bell Labs.
Phys.org / Satellites and AI can help tackle critical invasive species problem
Satellite imagery and artificial intelligence can detect with high accuracy two invasive weed species in Australia, posing a new opportunity for defense against these pervasive plants.
Phys.org / Capped VLS growth yields vanadium-doped MoS₂ films with superior CO₂-to-CO conversion
CO2 reduction to storable fuels or valuable chemical products provides a carbon-neutral cycle that can mitigate the rapid consumption of fossil fuels and increasing CO2 emissions. Although solar-driven CO2 reduction holds ...
Medical Xpress / Fremanezumab reduces number of migraine days in children, teens
Fremanezumab yields a greater reduction in the number of migraine days and headache days than placebo among children and adolescents with episodic migraine, according to a study published in the Jan. 15 issue of the New England ...
Medical Xpress / Multiple unexpected chemical contaminants exist in human milk, though at low concentrations
An interdisciplinary team including researchers at McGill University has found a range of unexpected chemical contaminants in human milk samples from Canada and South Africa. The chemicals include traces of pesticides, antimicrobials ...
Medical Xpress / Q&A: Vicious cycle? How gum disease and rheumatoid arthritis feed off one another
It's well established that gum disease and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are strongly linked. But what wasn't known, until a recent study, was that the two churn through a vicious cycle, feeding off each other and triggering ...
Medical Xpress / Memory training technique may help lower stress by shifting recall patterns
Our minds have a tendency to latch onto negative experiences more strongly than positive ones. While occasional negative thoughts are a common human experience, persistent ones can trap people in a self-reinforcing cycle, ...
