Medical Xpress / Sleep cycle an uphill battle for most driven Tour de France competitors
Peak performance in elite sport relies on a myriad of physical and mental capacities—and now there is an increasing consideration of the role of good sleep for training and competition performance.
Phys.org / It takes a village: Chimpanzee babies do better when their moms have social connections
In chimpanzee communities, strong social ties can be a matter of life and death not just for the adults who form them, but for their kids, too. A new study of wild eastern chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) from ...
Phys.org / Genomes reveal the Norwegian lemming as one of the most recently evolved mammal species
Using whole genome sequencing and cutting‐edge analyses, researchers at Stockholm University have uncovered the surprising evolutionary history of the Norwegian lemming (Lemmus lemmus), revealing it to be one of the most ...
Tech Xplore / Dual-light 3D printing technique enables seamless blending of flexible and rigid materials
Inspired by how nature blends toughness and flexibility, such as the rigid structure of bone surrounded by pliable cartilage, all with elegant and precise geometric properties, researchers at The University of Texas at Austin ...
Medical Xpress / Engineered protein can turn off tissue-damaging immune cells in autoimmune diseases
An engineered protein turns off the kind of immune cells most likely to damage tissue as part of type-1 diabetes, hepatitis, multiple sclerosis, shows a new study in mice.
Tech Xplore / Using generative AI to help robots jump higher and land safely
Diffusion models like OpenAI's DALL-E are becoming increasingly useful in helping brainstorm new designs. Humans can prompt these systems to generate an image, create a video, or refine a blueprint, and come back with ideas ...
Medical Xpress / Senescence uncovered: Scientists find worms can mimic mammalian cell aging process
Senescent cells, which are damaged and inflammatory, contribute significantly to aging. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Aging have found that worms can enter a senescent-like state, similar to that ...
Medical Xpress / New insights on genetic damage of some chemotherapies could guide future treatments with less harmful side effects
For the first time, scientists have systematically studied the genetic effects of chemotherapy on healthy tissues.
Medical Xpress / Low-intensity brain stimulation may restore neuron health in Alzheimer's disease
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a debilitating neurodegenerative condition that affects a significant proportion of older people worldwide. Synapses are points of communication between neural cells that are malleable to change ...
Phys.org / New 3D glacier visualizations provide insights into a hotter Earth
As glaciers retreat due to a rise in global temperatures, one study shows that detailed 3D elevation models could drastically improve predictions about how they react to Earth's warming climate.
Medical Xpress / Dementia is rare in midlife rugby players, but long-term risk may be increased
Two new studies have provided further insights into the complex links between head injury in elite rugby and potential dementia risks.
Phys.org / Marginalized Americans are highly skeptical of artificial intelligence, research finds
Artificial intelligence may be marketed as society's great equalizer—transforming businesses, streamlining work and making life easier for all—but for many marginalized Americans, AI doesn't feel like a promise.
