Medical Xpress / Engineered stem cells reverse new-onset type 1 diabetes in mice
A group of researchers at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) has recently developed a new stem cell therapy with a remarkable ability to reverse new-onset type 1 diabetes (T1D) in a mouse model of the disease. ...
Phys.org / Study explains why shoppers avoid plant-based proteins
Incorporating more plant-based proteins could help people save on their grocery bill, but new research has found that it's not so simple when it comes to choices at the supermarket. Simon Fraser University researchers peeked ...
Phys.org / Dynamic terahertz wavefront control using stretchable single-walled carbon nanotube-based metasurfaces
The terahertz (THz) frequency regime, sitting between microwaves and infrared light, has long promised revolutionary advances in wireless communication, security imaging and nondestructive sensing. A key roadblock, however, ...
Phys.org / In Brazil's Cerrado region, Indigenous fire practices reshape wildfire strategy
Fire began crackling like approaching rain on a recent morning in the Xerente Indigenous Territory in Tocantins in northern Brazil. But the Indigenous residents weren't afraid and didn't rush to put it out.
Medical Xpress / CAR-T cells enhanced with navigation system to penetrate lymph nodes more efficiently
Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, or CAR-T, has transformed treatment for blood cancers. The immunotherapy involves reprogramming a patient's own immune cells to recognize and attack tumor cells. It offers many patients ...
Phys.org / A faster way to forecast alien weather
The TRAPPIST-1 system, located about 41 light years from Earth, has been a focal point of much exoplanetary discussion—mainly because it has seven confirmed planets orbiting a dim M-dwarf star. Two of those planets—TRAPPIST-1e ...
Tech Xplore / Europe opening up to self-driving taxis
Self-driving taxis, already booming in the United States and China, are emerging in Europe, with major companies launching trials this year in several capitals and the European Union set to step on the accelerator Monday.
Phys.org / Disgust may contribute to improper waste disposal
A common explanation for why waste management sometimes fails is that carelessness breeds more carelessness. Now, research from the University of Gothenburg shows that dirty waste disposal rooms can evoke feelings of disgust ...
Medical Xpress / How mechanical stress can accelerate bone destruction in periodontitis
Excessive bite force does not cause alveolar bone loss but significantly worsens it when combined with periodontitis, report researchers in a new study. While traumatic occlusion has long been suspected to exacerbate periodontitis, ...
Medical Xpress / Poor sleep threatens health, society and the economy
An increasing number of people are suffering from sleep deprivation, difficulty falling asleep, or interrupted sleep—with consequences for health, society, and the economy. An international research team involving the Institute ...
Medical Xpress / Gap widens between expected help and municipal care delivered, complaint review shows
"There is a clear gap between what patients expect from the health care services and what they actually receive," says Alison Axisa Eriksen of the University of Agder (UiA). As part of her Ph.D. research, she has reviewed ...
Phys.org / Cutting a photon in two creates an infinite swarm of particles
By definition, elementary particles can't be broken into smaller pieces. But in a new theoretical study published in Physical Review Letters, Johannes Skaar and colleagues have revealed what would happen if you tried anyway ...
