Phys.org / Researchers uncover mechanism of plasma membrane remodeling that drives mitotic cell rounding
During cell division, adherent animal cells round up to create the precise spatial geometry required for accurate chromosome segregation, a process that depends on the coordinated remodeling of the cytoskeleton and plasma ...
Tech Xplore / Could atoms be reordered to enhance electronic devices?
The optical properties of a thin layer of the semiconductor germanium-tin (GeSn) sandwiched between barriers of silicon-germanium-tin (SiGeSn), a structure known as a quantum well, have been studied with a focus on improving ...
Phys.org / Illuminating the messages that cells leave behind: Cells trek along vesicle 'breadcrumbs'
In stunning new time-lapse videos, biological nanoparticles scoot and flit across a starry field of glowing dots. Guided by the invisible chemistry of attraction, these microscopic travelers eventually group together to form ...
Medical Xpress / Reduced opioid use found after knee surgery with mini-scope technique
A new study led by Marshall University researchers found that patients who underwent knee surgery using a minimally invasive "needle arthroscopy" technique used significantly fewer opioids after surgery compared to those ...
Medical Xpress / Disrupting bacterial 'chatter' could tip the balance for better oral health
Like all living things, bacteria adapt to survive. Over time, bacteria have been developing resistance to common antibiotics and disinfectants, which poses a growing problem for health care and sanitation. However, many species ...
Phys.org / Beyond the habitable zone: Exoplanet atmospheres are next clue to finding life on planets orbiting distant stars
When astronomers search for planets that could host liquid water on their surface, they start by looking at a star's habitable zone. Water is a key ingredient for life, and on a planet too close to its star, water on its ...
Medical Xpress / New clues to why some women experience recurrent miscarriage
Researchers at the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute, University of Sydney, and the Royal Hospital for Women have uncovered important new insights into the biology of recurrent miscarriage—a devastating condition ...
Medical Xpress / Study sheds light on cellular resistance to osimertinib in adenocarcinoma
Some lung cancers manage to overcome a targeted drug therapy despite it showing initial success. Yale researchers have now discovered a molecular-level resistance mechanism that begins to take hold as early as six to eight ...
Tech Xplore / Security vulnerability identified in EV charging protocol
Southwest Research Institute identified a security vulnerability in a standard protocol governing communications between electric vehicles (EV) and EV charging equipment. The research prompted the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure ...
Medical Xpress / Unusual days signal rising migraine risk
Harvard Medical School researchers report that higher day-to-day "trigger surprisal" scores were associated with migraine attacks over the next 12 and 24 hours. In this cohort, higher surprisal scores aligned with greater ...
Tech Xplore / X-ray vision dives deep to boost safety, inspection and response
X-ray imaging is useful for seeing inside objects without causing damage, but until now it was not practical for use underwater. Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers have developed the first X-ray imaging system that ...
Medical Xpress / Are animals and AI conscious? Researchers devise theories for how to test this
You might think a honey bee foraging in your garden and a browser window running ChatGPT have nothing in common. But recent scientific research has been seriously considering the possibility that either, or both, might be ...
