Medical Xpress / AI model predicts neural network degeneration patterns in ALS progression
New research from the University of St Andrews, the University of Copenhagen and Drexel University has developed AI computational models that predict the degeneration of neural networks in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Medical Xpress / New standards streamline brain tumor surgery
Low-grade brain tumors known as IDH-mutant gliomas CNS WHO grade 2 are life-threatening in spite of their slow growth. Neurosurgeons across the globe are faced with the question as to striking the correct balance between ...
Medical Xpress / Motor protein discovery in fruit flies may unlock neurodegenerative secrets
Scientists have long known that inherited neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's or motor neuron disease, can be traced back to genetic mutations. However, how they cause the diseases remains unanswered.
Phys.org / Ultrafast spectroscopy reveals step-by-step energy flow in germanium semiconductors
Whether in a smartphone or laptop, semiconductors form the basis of modern electronics and accompany us constantly in everyday life. The processes taking place inside these materials are the subject of ongoing research. When ...
Phys.org / First direct evidence of Migdal effect opens new path for dark matter search
In a landmark discovery that bridges nearly a century of theoretical physics, a Chinese research team has successfully captured the first direct evidence of the Migdal effect, a breakthrough with profound implications for ...
Medical Xpress / Drug used for blood disorders may aid recovery in severe malaria, study finds
A new clinical trial led by QIMR Berghofer, in collaboration with University of Sunshine Coast Clinical Trials Network has found a medication currently used for some blood disorders could help the body fight malaria more ...
Phys.org / Socio-environmental movements emerge as key global guardians of biodiversity amid rising violence
A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reveals that organized civil society and social mobilization are key, yet often unrecognized, agents of global biodiversity conservation. By analyzing ...
Medical Xpress / Misplaced neurons in the brain can still perform essential sensory functions
Can the brain keep working when its architecture changes? Researchers at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have discovered that neurons located in the wrong place can still carry out their normal function—challenging long-held ...
Phys.org / Atomistic simulation software CP2K enables AI models
The CP2K open-source package is among the top three most widely used research software suites worldwide for simulating the behavior of atoms and molecules. Among other applications, CP2K plays an important role in generating ...
Phys.org / Protein Rac1 plays dual roles in repairing damaged kidney, study finds
The kidney's proximal tubule reabsorbs water, glucose, ions and other small molecules from the urine and thus maintains the body's supply of these essential constituents. The tubule can be easily damaged by ischemia, or poor ...
Phys.org / Mercury's BepiColombo Mio and Earth's GEOTAIL show shared wave frequency properties across planetary magnetospheres
An international team from Kanazawa University (Japan), Tohoku University (Japan), LPP (France), and partners has demonstrated that chorus emissions, natural electromagnetic waves long studied in Earth's magnetosphere, also ...
Medical Xpress / Machine learning can predict patients' responses to antidepressants—while disentangling drug and placebo effects
Depression is one of the most widespread mental health disorders worldwide, affecting approximately 4% of the global population. It is characterized by a persistent low mood, disruptions in typical sleeping and/or eating ...
