At least 2,000 people have died in Congo's Ebola outbreak, the fastest-growing on record, according to the latest data, as health authorities struggle to get help to remote localities due to rebel conflict, bad roads and ...
Medical Xpress / Heart assembloids give researchers a new way to study heart valve disorders
A multidisciplinary, multi-institution group of researchers focused their expertise in genetics, mechanics, chemistry and biology on a chip the size of a postage stamp to model a particular class of heart conditions.
Phys.org / Venus's polygonal plains could point to a watery past
Venus may be overwhelmingly inhospitable today, but many planetary scientists believe that it wasn't always this way. Billions of years ago, some observational evidence suggested that our planetary neighbor may have looked ...
Medical Xpress / Ketamine triggers morning cortisol surge tied to fewer suicidal thoughts—but the link remains uncertain
In 1970, ketamine was approved as an anesthetic. It works by blocking receptors in the brain. Suicidal tendencies are among the dangers that accompany severe depression. Doctors have found that a low dose of ketamine, much ...

Jackie, the bald eagle who became an internet sensation and a symbol of the species' recovery in California, died Monday after being treated for an illness at a veterinary facility, her caretakers announced.
Medical Xpress / Sarcoidosis shifts lung immune-cell communication, single-cell data suggest
Researchers at National Jewish Health and partner institutions have discovered specific changes in immune cells in the lungs of people with sarcoidosis. Their findings help explain how this inflammatory disease develops and ...
Medical Xpress / Rising temperatures linked to higher risk of homicide and suicide in Mexico and Brazil
As temperatures on Earth continue to rise, some researchers have been trying to understand how climate change influences people's physical and mental health. Some past studies have found an association between warmer weather ...
Medical Xpress / New math model sheds light on multiple sclerosis relapse and recovery cycles
A new mathematical model that reproduces the relapsing-remitting pattern of multiple sclerosis (MS) offers scientists a tool to better understand how the disease progresses. The model, developed by QUT researchers from the ...
