Medical Xpress / Engineered mice give human brain organoids space to form working circuits
Stanford Medicine scientists have chalked up a major advance in growing human brain cells outside the human brain—and outside laboratory glassware.
Medical Xpress / Can psychedelic clinical trials be better? Researchers say yes
UC San Francisco researchers are weighing in on one of the biggest challenges in psychedelic science, arguing that clinical trials need more convincing placebo treatments to better measure the drugs' true effects.
Phys.org / AI automates 3D membrane mapping, matching manual results in a fraction of time
Cell membranes and the proteins within them control many vital processes and play a key role in health and disease. But studying them in 3D images of cells has so far meant slow, manual work. A team from Helmholtz Munich, ...
Medical Xpress / Stable answers help medical AI flag diagnoses clinicians can trust
AI agents could reliably support diagnoses and clinical decision-making in the future—provided sensitive health data are protected and clinicians can assess the reliability of individual AI-generated results. Researchers ...
Medical Xpress / Nighttime light may disrupt sleep in people with schizophrenia
Sleep problems are common in people with schizophrenia and can worsen quality of life, psychiatric symptoms, cognition and daily functioning. Nighttime light is known to interfere with normal sleep and circadian rhythms in ...
Medical Xpress / Brain-computer interface enables avatar speech and gestures for people with paralysis
A scientific team has shown that a new brain-computer interface (BCI) can allow people with vocal tract and bodily paralysis to convey both speech and upper-body gestures simultaneously. While BCIs have facilitated one or ...
Phys.org / New immigration enforcement policy raises safety concerns for domestic violence survivors
After a six-week delay, Immigration Minister Tony Burke has announced changes to the migration system. Amid all the analysis and discussion it triggered, there was nothing to indicate an understanding that these changes need ...
Phys.org / Baby orangutans in India expose 'frightening' scale of trafficking
Five baby orangutans abandoned in an Indian forest have exposed a "massive" exotic wildlife trade, with traffickers smuggling increasingly rare species into the country, experts say.
Phys.org / Experts offer advice in an era shaped by artificial intelligence, social media, misinformation
Brian Druker, M.D., has pretty much done it all as a pioneer in precision medicine. He developed a drug that turned chronic myeloid leukemia from a death sentence into a manageable condition; his discovery spurred the development ...
Phys.org / Pollinators keep a later calendar in human-modified landscapes, study finds
Human development may be changing more than where pollinators live—it may also be changing when they are active. University of Florida researchers at the Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) have found that ...
Phys.org / Australia's ancient rainfall patterns more complex than previously believed
"Sediment and fossil records are a major pillar of our understanding of how the climate works—but climate scientists have gotten something wrong about Australia's ice age," says Dr. Alex F. Wall, lead author of a new research ...
Phys.org / New simulations link unusual particle diffusion to yielding in soft jammed matter
Soft materials such as colloidal suspensions, emulsions, foams and gels often display complex and unusual behaviors compared with ordinary solids or liquids. From a mechanical point of view, for instance, they can resist ...
