Medical Xpress / Toxic exposure creates disease risk over 20 generations, epigenetic inheritance study suggests
A single exposure to a toxic fungicide during pregnancy can increase the risk of disease for 20 subsequent generations—with inherited health problems worsening many generations after exposure. Those are the findings of ...
Phys.org / Birds change altitude to survive epic journeys across deserts and seas
Every year, billions of birds undertake extraordinary migrations, crossing vast deserts and open seas with no place to stop, feed, or rest. A new international study published in iScience by a consortium of researchers from ...
Phys.org / NASA targets March for first moon mission by Artemis astronauts after fueling test success
NASA aims to send astronauts to the moon in March after acing the latest rocket fueling test.
Medical Xpress / 'Kick it while it's down' approach to cancer treatment could improve cure rates
A new study provides hope that smarter timing of cancer treatments could improve cure rates. The study's Principal Investigator, Dr. Robert Noble, Senior Lecturer at the Department of Mathematics, City, St George's, University ...
Phys.org / Scientists home in on Acinetobacter baumannii's resistance evolution
Acinetobacter baumannii is a bacteria which can become a virulent killer in health-care settings among severely ill patients. The germ has rapidly developed drug resistance to even last-line carbapenem drugs. Now a group ...
Tech Xplore / Shipping damage, measured in real time: How wireless origami cushioning could improve logistics
Origami, the traditional Japanese art of paper folding, has received considerable attention in engineering. By applying paper-folding principles, researchers have created compact structures that are flexible, lightweight, ...
Tech Xplore / Physics-aware AI algorithm uses Newton's third law to keep simulations stable
A team of EPFL researchers has developed an AI algorithm that can model complex dynamical processes while taking into account the laws of physics—using Newton's third law. Their research is published in the journal Nature ...
Medical Xpress / Down syndrome study sheds new light on early brain development
A research team led by scientists at Queen Mary University of London and University College London (UCL) has found new clues about how the brains of people with Down syndrome develop differently from a very early age. The ...
Phys.org / Blood marker from dementia research could help track aging across the animal world
A protein called neurofilament light chain (NfL)—studied in humans in the context of neurodegenerative diseases and aging—is also detectable in the blood of numerous animals, and NfL levels increase with age in mice, ...
Medical Xpress / How targeting the STING pathway could change care for a common brain tumor
Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered a potent immunotherapy approach for treating meningiomas, the most common type of primary brain tumor, according to a study published in Nature Communications.
Phys.org / How massive lava fields formed in the Pacific Northwest
Volcanic eruptions are significant geologic hazards. Underwater volcanoes are challenging to study, yet they play an integral role in marine geology and may cause destructive tsunamis that can threaten coastal communities.
Medical Xpress / How the brain balances continuity and segmentation
Life doesn't arrive in neat chapters. It flows, one conversation bleeding into the next, one thought quietly reshaping the one that follows. Yet our brains do something remarkable: they preserve a sense of continuity while ...
