Medical Xpress / Protein's second role in inflammation could reshape treatment for Crohn's, arthritis and heart disease
A protein long understood to drive inflammation by producing nitric oxide has a second, previously unknown role—it physically binds to another key protein inside cells to directly modulate the immune response. The discovery, ...
Phys.org / Natural-language AI helps chemists design molecules step by step
Designing molecules is one of chemistry's most complex challenges. From life-saving drugs to advanced materials, each compound requires a precise sequence of reactions. Planning these steps demands both technical knowledge ...
Medical Xpress / Whole-body ultrasound captures full cross-sections in 10 seconds, early tests show
Ultrasounds are a critical part of modern health care, helping to image soft tissue and organs, measure blood flow, and monitor fetal development. But the technique has constraints, including a limited field of view and the ...
Medical Xpress / Phage therapy case reveals hidden antibodies can block treatment of drug-resistant infections
A new treatment for patients with life-threatening infectious diseases is being pioneered in Melbourne by researchers at The Alfred and Monash University. VICPhage, a clinical partnership between The Alfred and Monash, is ...
Phys.org / Bipartisan-cited science is rarely used by policymakers, study finds
Past research has shown that even though science is commonly viewed as essential for effective policymaking, Democrats and Republicans cite different scientific research when creating policy—even when addressing the same ...
Science X / Plato aces space-like tests, keeping hunt for Earth-like worlds on track
The European Space Agency Plato mission has successfully completed a series of tough tests under space-like conditions. With this accomplishment, the spacecraft is on track to lift off in early 2027 and begin its search for ...
Tech Xplore / AI firms flex lobbying muscle on both side of Atlantic
AI developers are ramping up efforts to win over the hearts and minds of officials in Europe and the United States, hoping to sway governments as they weigh high-stakes regulatory frameworks for the ever more powerful technology.
Phys.org / Machine learning identifies catalyst 'sweet spot' for greener urea from waste gases
Urea is an extremely important chemical, especially for fertilizers. But, making urea is energy intensive and relies heavily on fossil fuels. However, new findings from Griffith University and the Queensland University of ...
Phys.org / A mother's gift: Plastid-derived structures help sea urchin development and dispersal
During the development of marine organisms—from fertilization through to juvenile stages—it is often observed that the eggs released into the water column are initially supplied with only a small fraction of the energy they ...
Phys.org / Human-altered estuaries now drive stronger tides farther inland
A study led by Wageningen University & Research shows that human interventions have significantly changed tides in river estuaries over the past centuries. In many regions around the world, the difference between high and ...
Phys.org / Sombrero Galaxy's vast halo emerges in rare detail 30 million light-years away
Messier 104, nicknamed the Sombrero Galaxy, is a popular target for amateur observing and astronomical research. Its recognizable extended halo, as well as a faint stellar stream, are captured in exquisite detail in this ...
Phys.org / Self-regulating process governs cosmic order inside star clusters
A team of astrophysicists from Nanjing University and University of Bonn have demonstrated that, rather than being random, the mass of new stars born inside a star cluster is actually governed by a defined process of self-regulation. ...
