Medical Xpress / Q&A: Medicare spending on clinical care for people aging with HIV projected to rise steeply over next decade
As more Americans with HIV live into older age, Medicare spending on their care is projected to rise dramatically from $10.9 billion in 2026 to $27.3 billion in 2035, with HIV medications accounting for nearly two-thirds ...
Phys.org / AI method reveals hidden patterns in microbial communities in the Warnow Estuary
Microbial communities are highly sensitive to environmental changes, yet their enormous diversity makes it difficult to identify ecological patterns. A research team from the Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnemünde ...
Phys.org / One snail, five slimes: Collagen and calcium reshape mucus for different jobs
Snails are particularly active after a rain shower. Even on the Max Planck Campus in Potsdam-Golm, common brown-lipped snails (Cepaea nemoralis) leave behind shiny trails of mucus. Researchers from the "Biomaterials" department ...
Medical Xpress / How early-life stress leaves a 'scar' inside brain cells
Experiencing severe stress during childhood can make a person more vulnerable to anxiety, depression and other mood disorders when faced with hardships as an adult. Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine ...
Phys.org / From mountain peaks to microclimates, new maps bring satellite big data down to Earth
Zooming from her office, Michigan State University researcher Kelly Kapsar showed satellite images from across the United States. In some, different colors revealed the precise heights of the forested ridges in the Sierra ...
Medical Xpress / From growth to function: Gene helps human heart cells decide when to mature
Understanding how heart muscle cells stop dividing and acquire the characteristics needed to sustain lifelong cardiac function remains one of the greatest challenges in cardiovascular biology. Leveraging human induced pluripotent ...
Medical Xpress / D-serine accelerates gastric tumor growth by suppressing killer T cells
One of the crucial steps in cancer proliferation is evading killer immune cells. Cancer cells use a variety of signaling molecules to evade the immune system. Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy interferes with some ...
Phys.org / Newly identified C/EBPγ protein links cancer cell plasticity and DNA repair
A research team has identified the transcription factor C/EBPγ as a novel regulator that simultaneously promotes epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and DNA double-strand break repair in lung adenocarcinoma cells. The ...
Medical Xpress / Household hums below hearing range damage mouse kidneys in five-day experiment
Previous studies have hinted that people surrounded by more environmental noise—low, deep rumblings from air-conditioning units, elevator motors, distant traffic and ventilation ducts—tend to have worse kidney function. But ...
Phys.org / Honduras review confirms 227 native mammal species after eight-year effort
An eight-year international research effort has produced the most comprehensive review of Honduras' mammals since 1998, verifying 227 native species across 146 genera and 42 families, along with three introduced rodent species. ...
Tech Xplore / Negative imaginary theory moves from math niche to robots, aircraft and nanodevices
Over the past two decades, a powerful but highly specialized branch of control engineering—known as negative imaginary (NI) systems theory—has quietly evolved into a key tool for stabilizing complex, vibration-prone systems, ...
