Medical Xpress / Sexual problems common after cancer in young adults
Each year, approximately 2,000 people aged 18–39 are diagnosed with cancer in Sweden. Most survive their illness, but for many, life continues with long-term consequences. In a new doctoral dissertation, Charlotta Bergström ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers map genetics of blood lipids with unprecedented precision
DZNE researchers have generated new insights into how the human genome shapes the chemical composition and concentration of blood lipids. Across the genome, they identified more than 50 regions whose relevance to lipid metabolism ...
Medical Xpress / Newly designed peptides suggest safer immunotherapies are within reach
Calcium is widely known for its role in maintaining strong bones and teeth, but it is also one of the body's most important cellular messengers. Calcium signals help regulate muscle contraction, neural function, immune cell ...
Tech Xplore / Open-source framework lets drones dodge obstacles in milliseconds while minimizing travel time
In the aftermath of a devastating earthquake, unpiloted aerial vehicles (UAVs) could fly through a collapsed building to map the scene, giving rescuers information they need to quickly reach survivors. But this remains an ...
Phys.org / New shell helps gold nanoparticles keep shape under laser heat longer
Gold nanoparticles, which are about one-thousandth the width of a human hair, can convert light they receive from a laser into heat. This capacity, known in medicine as photothermal therapy, is effective at destroying cancer ...
Medical Xpress / A new imaging approach captures brain activity across nine cell types at once
Scientists at the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience (MPFI), in collaboration with ZEISS and MetaCell, have developed a powerful new imaging pipeline called Neuroplex. As described in a paper published in eLife, ...
Tech Xplore / Custom device maps carbon capture reactions in real time
Removing carbon dioxide (CO2) directly from the air, a process called direct air capture (or DAC), is one of several approaches being developed to help reduce the concentration of this greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. Among ...
Phys.org / Beyond 0 and 1: Ferrotoroidic material can store four magnetic states
Today's computers store information using only two values: 0 and 1. But as electronic devices become smaller and reach their limits, scientists are searching for new ways to pack more information into the same space. One ...
Phys.org / New chip offers way to make use of quantum system 'imperfections'
Quantum technologies promise powerful new kinds of computers, giving scientists new tools to mimic and explore nature at its tiniest scales. At those levels, everything in nature—from atoms and electrons to light itself—follows ...
Medical Xpress / Nervous system helps lung cancer evade the immune system, study reveals
Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have revealed that sensory nerve signals interfere with the immune system's response to lung cancer. This previously unrecognized neuroimmune connection could be targeted to improve ...
Phys.org / Imperfect polymer sequences still control protein function, revealing new design rules
What happens when a scientific problem seems too complex to solve precisely, yet understanding it could reshape how researchers design new materials and medicines? For decades, much of the polymer science community has relied ...
Medical Xpress / A new way to strengthen the body's defense against respiratory viruses
Researchers have discovered a new method to boost the body's natural ability to fight respiratory viruses, including respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), one of the leading causes of severe lung infections worldwide.
