Medical Xpress / Inside lymph nodes, an overlooked cell type quietly directs immune battles in ways that could reshape medicine
The research group of prof. Sanjiv Luther at the department of immunobiology of the University of Lausanne has discovered that a fibroblast subtype is essential for coordinating certain immune cells within lymph nodes. This ...
Phys.org / Common soil fungus could cut pesticide use while helping tomatoes grow stronger
Trichoderma species—a common fungus found in soils—have varying abilities to promote tomato plant growth and differentially affect the abundance of certain soil bacteria, according to a study led by researchers at Penn State.
Phys.org / Quantum chips could scale faster with new spin-qubit readout that reduces sensors and wiring
Quantum computers, devices that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could tackle some tasks that are difficult or impossible to solve using classical computers. These systems represent data as qubits, ...
Phys.org / Climate and competition alone cannot explain Neanderthal extinction, study finds
A new modeling study suggests that greater connectivity between groups may have given Homo sapiens the edge over Neanderthals. Why Neanderthals went extinct and Homo sapiens established a lasting presence in Europe is still ...
Phys.org / Inside the skull of a Devonian fish from Gondwana, revealed by neutron imaging
Flinders University researchers have taken a revealing look inside the head of one of the first animals to crawl from the water to live on land more than 380 million years ago. Using high-tech neutron imaging, they scanned ...
Phys.org / Divergent moral values could make groups more accepting of norm-breaking behavior
Individuals in a morally diverse community tend to believe that the community's norms are looser. In turn, norm violations are more accepted, and there is a reduced willingness to police transgressions, according to research ...
Medical Xpress / Selection model helps explain why most human pregnancies are singletons
Each month during a woman's menstrual cycle, an ovary prepares 10–20 antral follicles, fluid-filled sacs that hold immature eggs, for maturation. In most cycles, only one follicle is selected to undergo maturation, eventually ...
Tech Xplore / Engineers boost sustainable acrylic acid production using next‑generation membrane reactor
Acrylic acid is essential for everyday products—from paints and coatings to absorbent polymers—yet almost all of it is currently made from propylene, a petrochemical. As global biodiesel production rises, so does the supply ...
Phys.org / AI accelerators deliver accurate models for challenging quantum chemistry calculations
The most demanding calculations in quantum chemistry can now be solved with graphics processing unit (GPU) supercomputers. A recently published study shows that software adapted to use GPU hardware can provide not just speed, ...
Medical Xpress / Simple 'gut reset' procedure may prevent weight rebound following GLP-1 discontinuation
An outpatient procedure may offer a way for the estimated 70% of people who discontinue popular weight-loss drugs to avoid regaining the pounds they shed, according to a study presented at Digestive Disease Week (DDW) 2026.
Medical Xpress / New cellular target prevents hepatitis E infection
An international team of researchers has identified a promising new approach for treating infections with the Hepatitis E virus (HEV). At the center of the study is the drug Apilimod, which specifically blocks the entry of ...
Medical Xpress / Dopamine deficiency found to drive memory impairment in Alzheimer's disease
Why do memories fade in Alzheimer's disease—and can they be restored? University of California, Irvine researchers have uncovered a key mechanism underlying memory loss, showing for the first time that dopamine dysfunction ...
