Medical Xpress / Machine learning can predict preeclampsia by week 34 of pregnancy
A machine-learning model developed by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators may provide clinicians with an early warning of a complication that can occur late in pregnancy. Preeclampsia is a sudden onset condition that involves ...
Medical Xpress / A virus hiding inside bacteria may help explain colorectal cancer
The gut bacterium Bacteroides fragilis has long presented researchers with a paradox. It has been associated with colorectal cancer, yet it also lives quite happily in most healthy people. A study by a Danish research team ...
Medical Xpress / Hyrox is booming worldwide. Here's how to train for this race safely and effectively
Once a niche challenge for hardcore athletes, Hyrox has become one of the fastest-growing fitness trends worldwide. It blends elements of endurance running with functional strength work in a way that appeals to both strength ...
Medical Xpress / AI blood test detects early pancreatic cancer with up to 94% accuracy
A team of researchers from Taiwan has developed PanMETAI, an AI-powered platform that analyzes metabolic fingerprints in a simple blood sample to detect pancreatic cancer at its earliest stages—when treatment is most effective—achieving ...
Phys.org / Shrinking the carbon footprint of chemical manufacturing with lasers and solar radiation
Researchers have found a way to use solar energy to power a key chemical reaction that drives many manufacturing industries. This new method can significantly reduce the energy required to run these operations, eliminate ...
Phys.org / What's in your salad? Crops exposed to nanoplastics may boost heavy metal intake
Leafy vegetables like lettuce are readily available in grocery stores and often seen as a healthy food choice. As researchers work to understand how emerging contaminants behave in plants, new research is shedding light on ...
Medical Xpress / Brain-clearing cells offer clues to slowing Alzheimer's disease progression
Accumulation of the protein tau in the brain is one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease. In a paper published in Cell Press Blue, researchers report a previously unknown mechanism that appears to enable the buildup of ...
Phys.org / Oldest known bony fish fossils uncover early vertebrate evolution
A research team led by Profs. Zhu Min, Lu Jing, and Zhu You'an from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences published two back-to-back cover stories in the ...
Phys.org / 3D imagery helps bring world's ant diversity to life
For more than a decade, Evan Economo's lab has been using micro-CT machines to scan insect specimens. The resulting X-ray images help researchers study the form and structure of insects—a subfield of entomology known as ...
Phys.org / Large AI models can speed catalyst discovery by predicting performance before synthesis
Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the way scientists discover and design new materials. In a specially invited review published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Tohoku University researchers highlight ...
Phys.org / Marine biologists create a family history of San Diego's giant kelp over more than four decades
The growth form of giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) is composed of shoots known as stipes instead of branches. From one parent holding fast to the hard bottom might come as many as 150 stipes. Typically, the tips of the ...
Phys.org / Protecting wildlife from genetic collapse with newly identified 'early warning signals'
A new study reveals that habitat fragmentation can lead to sudden "tipping points" where a species' genetic health unexpectedly collapses after appearing stable for long periods. By merging network theory with population ...
