Medical Xpress / Molecular imaging may reduce need for melanoma biopsies
Douglas Grossman, MD, Ph.D., co-leader of the Melanoma Center at Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah (the U) and professor of dermatology at the U, has helped develop a noninvasive technology that aims to ...
Phys.org / Between the Pampa and Patagonia: New clues about how ancient hunter-gatherers fed themselves
An archaeological study reveals how ancient hunter-gatherer groups lived—and survived—more than a thousand years ago in the transition zone between the Pampas and Patagonia in Argentina. The research, carried out by Martínez ...
Tech Xplore / Novel framework for unsupervised point cloud anomaly localization developed
The automatic detection of surface-level irregularities—defects or anomalies—in 3D data is of significant interest for various real-world purposes, such as industrial quality inspection, infrastructure monitoring, robotics, ...
Phys.org / Turning high-emissions waste into fertilizer: Catalyst boosts urea production by coupling CO₂ with nitrogen pollutants
UNSW engineers have tackled a longstanding problem at the heart of global agriculture: how to make urea for fertilizer without the intensity of emissions associated with fossil-fuel-powered factories. The solution is outlined ...
Medical Xpress / Dopamine selects, astrocytes refine: A new mechanism for motor-learning circuit rewiring
When we learn a new motor skill—whether mastering a piano passage or refining balance while walking—the brain must reorganize the circuits that control movement. For decades, this process of synaptic remodeling has been ...
Phys.org / US childhood literacy rates are lagging. Pediatricians could be part of the solution
For some young children in Columbus, Ohio, reading assessments don't start in the kindergarten classroom—they happen first in the doctor's office.
Phys.org / Women, children bearing brunt of homelessness in New Zealand
More than half of those experiencing homelessness in New Zealand are women, often mothers of young children and living in uninhabitable housing or sharing accommodation, a researcher at the University of Otago, Wellington—Ōtākou ...
Phys.org / Opinion: Surviving the extreme temperatures of the climate crisis calls for a revolution in home and building design
People spend 90% of their lives in buildings, which act as a protective "third skin" from the elements, but climates are becoming more extreme and so the design of places we live and work in must be radically overhauled to ...
Medical Xpress / The shame-filled world of hair-pulling and skin-picking disorders
Over the course of their lives, up to 220,000 Norwegians will pick at their skin or pull out their hair to an extent that can be considered a mental health disorder. They pull out their hair until bald spots appear, or pick ...
Phys.org / System isolates single extracellular vesicle surface proteins to map function
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are tiny biological bubbles that carry nucleic acids and proteins between cells, playing an essential role in tissue repair, neuroprotection and immune health. By isolating the surface proteins ...
Medical Xpress / US funding freeze linked to HIV care disruptions in 32 countries, study finds
A new study led by researchers from the CUNY Institute for Implementation Science in Population Health (ISPH) finds that the 2025 freeze on U.S. foreign assistance triggered disruptions to HIV services, medications, labs, ...
Phys.org / Scientists deliver new molecule for getting DNA into cells
Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created a new molecule which carries DNA into biological cells, to treat or vaccinate against illnesses. Many existing options rely on molecules with a strong positive charge, ...
