Medical Xpress / Antihistamines likely offer no meaningful benefit for eczema and may increase harms
Adding oral antihistamines to existing eczema treatments is unlikely to lead to clinically important reductions in eczema and itch severity and may not reduce sleep disturbance or flare-ups, finds a review of the latest trial ...
Medical Xpress / New mechanism reveals how heart cells resist regenerative reprogramming
Specialized cells in the human body make biological trade-offs to perform certain jobs. To support the large, hardworking hearts that power other organs, heart cells have evolved to be extremely efficient and resilient. Because ...
Phys.org / Fish pathogens once limited to Asia and US emerge in Brazilian farms
For the first time in Brazil, scientists have identified the presence of bacteria that cause columnaris disease, a serious disease in farmed fish intended for human consumption. Previously, different species of the genus ...
Medical Xpress / Blocking a mitochondrial transporter may curb inflammation from 'zombie' cells without killing them
Researchers have uncovered a previously unknown mechanism that helps aging cells drive the chronic inflammation linked to many age-related diseases. The findings reveal how dysfunctional mitochondria—the cell's energy-producing ...
Medical Xpress / Beyond recovery, natural environments may strengthen well-being from a neutral baseline
A walk in the park after a stressful day is a classic example of how nature can help people unwind. But natural environments may offer even more: enhancing mood and cognitive performance even when a person has not previously ...
Phys.org / Trees and microbes team up to improve nitrogen nutrient processes in higher CO₂ conditions
Forest trees growing in air containing higher levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) radically change the way they "cycle" nitrogen, a key plant nutrient, with implications for forests as a nature-based climate solution.
Phys.org / Oil beetle larvae smell like flowers to manipulate bees and sneak into their nests
For the first time, a research team from the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology and Friedrich Schiller University in Jena, Germany, has demonstrated that insects can mimic floral scents to manipulate pollinators.
Medical Xpress / International study shows once-weekly HIV pill performs as well as daily treatment
An international clinical trial led by researchers including Professor Chloe Orkin of Queen Mary University of London has shown that a once-weekly oral treatment for HIV is as effective as current leading daily therapies, ...
Medical Xpress / Men 50 years and older seem to have insufficient knowledge toward benign prostatic hyperplasia
Men aged 50 years and older demonstrate insufficient knowledge, a positive attitude and proactive practices regarding benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), according to a study published online July 17 in Neurourology and Urodynamics.
Phys.org / Agricultural waste could fuel protein-rich black soldier fly larvae for human foods
They're wriggly black grubs more commonly tossed to backyard hens than served at the dinner table, but black soldier fly larvae could soon play a key role in building a more sustainable food system, according to new research ...
Tech Xplore / Strike a pose: Creating more realistic multi-person images
Generating an image of a person on a computer using text prompts is easy. Generating one with two people is similarly simple. But creating an image of multiple people actually doing something, and faithfully reproducing not ...
Medical Xpress / A quantum machine learning framework to predict neoantigen immune response
Cleveland Clinic and IBM researchers are using quantum computing to tackle one of the most challenging problems in immuno-oncology: predicting which tumor mutations will trigger an immune response.
