A new multi-institutional study led by researchers at Dartmouth Health and Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth suggests that alpha-gal syndrome, a tick-borne disease that can result in a chronic allergy to meat and animal ...
Phys.org / Mechanical memory helps explain how cells adapt their movement to changing environments
Cells in our bodies squeeze through dense tissue channels, thread past neighboring cells and navigate every nook and cranny within the extracellular matrix—the mesh-like network that surrounds and supports cells. How well ...
Medical Xpress / Out of sync: How competing demands shape the cancer patient experience
Scientists are making progress in developing new cancer treatments, but a patient's experience with cancer is shaped by more than medicine. A new sociological study finds that conflicting medical, work and family timelines ...
Phys.org / Evolution favors flatter paths when fitness outcomes are equal, study finds
A surprising discovery by Technion researchers sheds new light on the dynamics of evolution. Published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the study shows that when an organism has several evolutionary ...

Phys.org / New workflow helps ecologists measure how individual animals use their habitat
A researcher has developed a new, reproducible workflow that lets ecologists measure, in a standardized way, how individual animals within a species differ in their habitat use, based on GPS tracking data. The tool was developed ...
Phys.org / People with more mobility in the labor market experience less discrimination
Employees who can easily change jobs are less likely to experience workplace discrimination. When dealing with a discriminatory employer, job mobility acts as an important incentive: If you can leave more easily, your employer ...
