Medical Xpress / Why older pedestrians fare worse in car crashes
Older pedestrians aren't injured by motor vehicles at a greater rate than younger pedestrians, according to 2023 data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. But they're more likely to die.
Phys.org / Magnetic beads streamline large-scale analysis of disease-linked glycopeptides
A research team has developed a reliable, economical laboratory method that uses tiny magnetic beads to study proteins with sugar molecules attached to them in blood and tissue samples. A better understanding of their pathological ...
Phys.org / Diatom sequencing project finds striking genetic differences among microscopic algae
An international team of more than 100 scientists has taken a major step toward unlocking the secrets of some of Earth's tiniest but most important organisms.
Phys.org / Forest floor to treetops, cameras reveal Congo Basin's hidden wildlife
The Democratic Republic of Congo's (DRC) tropical forests stretch across an extraordinary landscape of rivers, wetlands, savannas and towering trees. But in a forest this vast, biodiversity doesn't exist on a single plane. ...
Medical Xpress / New screening platform links molecule clusters to neurodevelopmental disorders
When drops of oil are added to water, the oil and water remain separate. Within cells, biological molecules cluster together in a similar way, separating themselves from the rest of the cell. And while they don't have a membrane, ...
Medical Xpress / How breakfast primes the response to the hormones that manage blood sugar
Vanderbilt researchers have discovered why the adage, "breakfast is the most important meal of the day," holds weight—especially for the 1 in 9 adults worldwide living with diabetes. Glucose (the simplest form of sugar) is ...
Phys.org / New AI model maps the ion binding sites that control how proteins work
Researchers at Constructor University and Constructor Labs have developed BiteNetI, a deep-learning model that locates the binding sites of 14 biologically important ion types directly in three-dimensional protein structures. ...
Phys.org / Old-growth tropical forests bear lasting legacy of ancient Maya civilization
Rainforests in Central America that have remained largely untouched by modern human activities could bear the invisible imprint of ancient Maya civilizations. New research has found that forest structure in Belize, such as ...
Phys.org / Ten-channel photonic interface links neutral-atom qubits in parallel
A research group in Japan has demonstrated a world-record 10-channel multiplexed quantum photonic interface based on an integrated waveguide array, a key technology for optically interconnecting multiple quantum computers. ...
Phys.org / Community-led systems may curb illegal dumping in Indonesia's rural tourism areas
Local action may offer a model for waste management in rural tourism, according to research published in the International Journal of Tourism Anthropology. The study of waste problems in Kampung Nipah, a coastal tourism hamlet ...
Medical Xpress / MS therapy uses patients' red blood cells to curb autoimmune attacks without broadly suppressing immunity
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease that particularly affects young adults. The disease is driven by immune cells—primarily what are known as T lymphocytes. These cells normally fight off ...
Medical Xpress / How melanoma silences the skin's natural antitumor defense
Cancers actively remodel their surrounding cells and tissues to create a microenvironment that favors their growth, survival and spread. Melanoma, a cancer of the pigment-producing melanocytes of the skin, is one of the most ...
