Medical Xpress / Consensus statement addresses management of skeletal fragility in patients with chronic kidney disease
In a consensus statement issued by the European Renal Association and published online Nov. 28 in Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, recommendations are presented for the management of skeletal fragility in patients with ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists develop first gene-editing treatment for skin conditions
Gene-editing tools like CRISPR have unlocked new treatments for previously uncurable diseases. Now, researchers at the University of British Columbia are extending those possibilities to the skin for the first time. The UBC ...
Medical Xpress / Fecal transplant can improve response to immunotherapy in advanced kidney cancer
An Italian study published in Nature Medicine provides compelling evidence that fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) can enhance the effectiveness of immunotherapy in patients with advanced metastatic renal cell carcinoma ...
Phys.org / Shrubs curb carbon emissions in China's largest desert, decades-long experiment shows
An experiment in western China over the past four decades shows that it is possible to tame the expansion of desert lands with greenery, and, in the process, pull excess carbon dioxide out of the sky.
Phys.org / Prototype cassettes mark key step toward new CMS high-granularity calorimeter
In beehives on the CERN site, a buzzing team of bees collaborates to build hexagon after hexagon of honeycomb—a shape that allows the most honey for a given amount of beeswax to be stored. Working nearby, a team of similarly ...
Medical Xpress / Sewage monitoring uncovers 'invisible' COVID-19 cases missed by testing
As COVID-19 testing becomes less routine, official case numbers can make outbreaks look smaller than they really are. A research team led by Professor Michio Murakami has now shown that wastewater surveillance can uncover ...
Tech Xplore / America is falling behind in the global EV race. That's going to cost the US auto industry
At the 2026 Detroit Auto Show, the spotlight quietly shifted. Electric vehicles, once framed as the inevitable future of the industry, were no longer the centerpiece. Instead, automakers emphasized hybrids, updated gasoline ...
Medical Xpress / Deep-learning algorithms enhance mutation detection in cancer and RNA sequencing
Researchers from the Faculty of Engineering at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have developed two innovative deep-learning algorithms, ClairS-TO and Clair3-RNA, that significantly advance genetic mutation detection in cancer ...
Tech Xplore / How AI deepfakes have skirted revenge porn laws
Federal and state governments have outlawed "revenge porn," the nonconsensual online sharing of sexual images of individuals, often by former partners. Last year, South Carolina became the 50th state to enact such a law. ...
Phys.org / New chemi-mechanical process removes pigments and restores properties in recycled plastics
Researchers in Worcester Polytechnic Institute's Department of Chemical Engineering and at the University of Akron have published research in Chemical Engineering Journal about a new technology that seeks to solve long-standing ...
Phys.org / Silica nanocomposite can generate biocides on demand
A surface capable of responding to chemical signals generated by microorganisms and automatically producing biocidal substances—this is not a futuristic vision, but a description of how the B-STING silica nanocomposite ...
Phys.org / When Toronto paused for COVID, a key 'forever chemical' rapidly declined
A new study out of York University has found that the amount of atmospheric trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), the tiniest forever chemical, significantly declined in Toronto during COVID in 2020, which researchers say is good news ...
