Medical Xpress / New study finds hexavalent vaccine could make India's immunization program more efficient and family-friendly
A study appearing in Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics found that introducing the hexavalent (six-in-one) vaccine into India's Universal Immunization Program (UIP) could improve the efficiency of the country's childhood ...
Medical Xpress / Humanized mouse model could significantly improve preclinical research on drugs for celiac disease
Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system reacts to gluten. More than 1% of the population in Germany is affected. In these individuals, gluten proteins found in wheat, rye and barley trigger inflammation ...
Phys.org / Using salt to drive drug-carrying particles deeper into difficult-to-treat biofilms
Biofilms—bacterial communities encased in a sticky, polymer-rich matrix—can be difficult to treat because that matrix slows antibiotics and drug-carrying particles. With help from salt, though, Yale researchers have found ...
Phys.org / How dogs evolved differently across the globe to match human traits
We call them "man's best friend," and the evidence supports it. Dogs have been found buried alongside humans in graves dating back 14,000 years. They appear in ancient art from every continent, and they feature in the mythology, ...
Phys.org / How Britain's mapmakers track climate change
Once used to defend Britain's shores against Napoleonic France, the Ordnance Survey's detailed maps are now essential for tracking and adapting to climate change.
Medical Xpress / Major gaps in follow-up care after acute kidney injury, study finds
Despite national efforts to improve acute kidney injury (AKI) care, thousands of patients in England are missing vital follow-up care after leaving the hospital, according to new research by The University of Manchester.
Phys.org / Slow spin could explain why planets become hellish
Hundreds of Venus-like planets could soon help determine why some worlds become sweltering greenhouse hellscapes while others remain capable of supporting life. But before answering that question, scientists first need to ...
Phys.org / Quality control of proteins in the cellular membrane starts at the ribosome
Scientists at the Center for Molecular Medicine Cologne (CMMC) and the CECAD Cluster of Excellence on Aging Research have demonstrated in a biomedical study that ribosomes, the protein factories of our cells, face an unusually ...
Phys.org / Two-qubit entangling gate flags its own errors as detectable photon losses
Quantum errors are a normal part of quantum computing because fragile physical qubits (the tiny components storing data) can easily break down because of environmental noise, like heat, stray signals or microscopic vibrations. ...
Phys.org / New catalyst with 75% less platinum promises to reduce the cost of hydrogen fuel cells
The high cost of platinum is one of the main barriers to the wider adoption of hydrogen fuel cells. Now, researchers at IMDEA Materials Institute have developed a catalyst that delivers the same performance while using 75% ...
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 / 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 ...
