Medical Xpress / Smart wound dressing speeds up healing by triggering body's own repair signals
A bioinspired material developed by scientists at Imperial College London accelerates wound healing and the repair of human skin. The material captures the body's own healing proteins, releasing them only when repair cells ...
Phys.org / Low-cost spray can help tomatoes grow in salty soils
A simple, low-dose leaf spray could give farmers a practical new tool to keep growing tomatoes on land that salt has rendered increasingly unproductive, according to a study led by a researcher at The University of Texas ...
Medical Xpress / Dengue virus can infect immune cells meant to fight disease
Researchers at the University of Vermont's Robert Larner, M.D. College of Medicine and Upstate Medical University in Syracuse, New York, have discovered that dengue virus can infect and replicate inside memory B cells, immune ...
Phys.org / Hidden DNA copying may give bacteria a faster route to antibiotic resistance
The dangers of antibiotic overuse have become increasingly clear in recent decades. Excessive use accelerates the evolution of bacterial resistance to antibiotics, raising the alarming prospect of infections that no longer ...
Medical Xpress / Sweat-powered fingertip patch accurately monitors Parkinson's medication
Engineers and neuroscientists at the University of California San Diego have developed a soft, wearable fingertip patch that continuously tracks a patient's Parkinson's disease medication levels through sweat. The device ...
Medical Xpress / How vaccine skeptics use storytelling effectively to create powerful but medically inaccurate messaging
As long as there have been vaccines, there have been people who doubted their science and safety.
Phys.org / Researchers identify useful tool for diagnosing endocrine dysfunction in sick foals
Researchers have found that an arginine vasopressin stimulation (AVP) test offers a reliable way to assess endocrine function in sick foals. The work, published in the Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, could lead to ...
Medical Xpress / Engineered gut bacteria show promise against pancreatic cancer
Cancer immunotherapies have transformed treatment for many cancers, but pancreatic cancer remains especially difficult to treat. One major reason is that pancreatic tumors often create a "cold" tumor microenvironment, where ...
Phys.org / Physicists capture first direct evidence of a Floquet topological state
A new study published in Nature Physics reports the first direct experimental evidence of a Floquet topological state, a novel light-induced phase of matter that, until now, has existed only on paper and in simulations. Topological ...
Medical Xpress / Turning COVID-19 immune memory into a powerful new ally against cancer
In a discovery that could redefine the future of cancer immunotherapy, scientists from Celloram Inc., University Hospitals and Case Western Reserve University have developed a novel cancer vaccine platform that transforms ...
Medical Xpress / What vegan and vegetarian diets can and can't tell us about eating disorders
The simple sentence: "No thanks, I don't eat meat" can prompt very different reactions, but the question that often follows is: "Why?"
Phys.org / Cracking the code: Can AI help us decipher ancient languages?
