Increasingly, the world's oceans are telling us our climate system may be changing faster and more dramatically than expected.
Phys.org / Some technologies use accelerated natural processes to capture carbon, but can they store it durably?
Natural geological processes have been regulating Earth's climate for millions of years. Accelerated versions of these processes are now being promoted as technologies to draw down carbon from the atmosphere—and some are ...
Medical Xpress / Common food preservatives linked to high blood pressure and heart disease
Eating foods that contain common preservative food additives may increase the risks of high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease, according to research published in the European Heart Journal.
Phys.org / Ancient DNA reveals web of marriage and migration in Peru centuries before Inca rule
Long-distance migration along Peru's Pacific coast began at least 800 years ago, centuries before the rise of the Inca Empire and much earlier than previously thought, a new international study reveals.
Medical Xpress / Atopic dermatitis linked to increased risk for retinal detachment
A history of atopic dermatitis (AD) is associated with an increased risk for retinal detachment (RD), according to a study published in Ophthalmology Retina.
Medical Xpress / Cholesterol-craving cancers need lipid enzymes to use metabolites for growth, study shows
While many American adults are trying to reduce cholesterol levels, certain cancerous tumors have a relentless appetite for the metabolite. Some tumor cells use as much cholesterol as they can access to accelerate their growth ...
Medical Xpress / Brain inflammation is unlikely to explain persistent long COVID symptoms, neuroimaging study finds
A new brain imaging study has found no evidence of widespread brain inflammation in patients suffering from prolonged symptoms after COVID-19 infection. Instead, the most severe long COVID symptoms were associated with increased ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers shape guidance for cancer screening
University of Warwick researchers have played a central role in developing new position statements from the UK National Screening Committee (UK NSC), setting out how emerging cancer screening technologies should be evaluated ...
Medical Xpress / Ebola outbreak in the DRC: Four reasons it will be hard to contain
By the second week of the latest Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo, it was already clear that containing the spread of the hemorrhagic disease was proving to be difficult.
Phys.org / Graphene quantum dots show promise in targeting Parkinson's-related protein clumping
The buildup of a protein called 𝛂-synuclein (ASN) into toxic clumps is a hallmark of synucleinopathies, a group of neurodegenerative diseases that includes Parkinson's and multiple system atrophy (MSA). These aggregates are ...
Phys.org / New maps show where European landscapes can advance climate and biodiversity goals together
Across Europe, many landscapes show strong potential to move forward climate mitigation, climate adaptation, and biodiversity benefits, with low socioeconomic risk, according to an analysis using a new climate-smart rewilding ...
Phys.org / Seagrass found to produce new genetic individuals rather than clone itself, offering hope for 'underwater meadows'
In many underwater ecosystems, seagrass meadows act as a food source, a safe haven, and an ecological lynchpin. But until now, very little was known about how these plants reproduce—critical information for conserving the ...
