Medical Xpress / Deep learning model predicts how individual cells influence disease outcomes
A computational method called scSurv, developed by researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo, links individual cells to patient outcomes using widely available bulk RNA sequencing data. The approach uses single-cell reference ...
Medical Xpress / Having a primary care physician reduces emergency department use for patients on dialysis
Having a primary care physician reduces emergency department (ED) use among patients with end-stage kidney disease receiving dialysis, according to a study published in JAMA Network Open.
Phys.org / Two new fungi species uncovered in Australian herbarium using DNA sequencing
Scientists at Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria, Australia have described two new species of fungi, Peziza austroechinospora and Peziza meridionalis with the assistance of DNA sequencing, highlighting how modern science is revealing ...
Medical Xpress / 7-Tesla MRI machine uncovers new insights into PTSD
Powerful brain imaging has helped uncover why people with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) who engage in negative self-talk may be struggling with the first line of treatment. The discovery, published in Nature Mental ...
Medical Xpress / Large imaging study changes understanding of the origins of Parkinson's rest tremor
A Finnish clinical imaging study shows that rest tremor in Parkinson's disease is not explained by greater dopamine loss. In contrast, tremor appears to be associated with relatively better-preserved dopamine function. Researchers ...
Phys.org / Low-cost test dissolves threat of fake drugs
Fake news can be tricky to spot, but spotting fake drugs just got a little easier. Researchers have devised a low-cost way to help distinguish legitimate medications from counterfeit ones.
Phys.org / The deep freshwater reservoir hidden beneath the Great Salt Lake
A potentially huge underground reservoir of freshwater beneath the Great Salt Lake is coming into sharper focus with a new study that used airborne electromagnetic (AEM) surveys to X-ray geologic structures under Farmington ...
Medical Xpress / Home-based chemotherapy: Pilot study demonstrates safety and feasibility
In a study published in NEJM Catalyst, Mayo Clinic researchers demonstrate that chemotherapy can be safely delivered in patients' homes. The study evaluated Mayo Clinic's Cancer CARE Beyond Walls (Connected Access and Remote ...
Phys.org / ALICE sees new sign of primordial plasma in proton collisions
The ALICE Collaboration takes a step further in addressing the question of whether a quark–gluon plasma can be formed in proton–proton and proton–nucleus collisions. In the first few microseconds after the Big Bang, ...
Phys.org / Sea creatures reveal the physics behind animal body shape diversity
Animals come in an extraordinary range of body shapes. A starfish looks nothing like an earthworm, a mouse, or a human. Yet even closely related species can appear radically different: corals, jellyfish, and sea anemones ...
Phys.org / How clonal raider ants update their friend-or-foe recognition
For ants, the ability to instantly distinguish nestmates from outsiders who might hijack the colony is crucial. Now, a new study shows that the system that ants use to determine who belongs in the colony is far more flexible ...
Medical Xpress / Botox-like nerve blocking reveals potential way to fully regenerate skin without scarring
Could wounded skin someday regrow perfectly without scars? A new study by Harvard stem cell biologists published in Cell reveals a way to fully regenerate skin by unblocking an embryonic healing mechanism that shuts off after ...
