Phys.org / How the value of star employees changes over a career
Overall, star employees tend to create value in different ways as their careers progress. Early on, they create outsized value through their individual performance. Experienced stars, meanwhile, contribute by helping colleagues ...
Medical Xpress / Darier disease cells lose antioxidant defenses under stress, study finds
Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered a mechanism that may explain why people with Darier disease, a rare genetic skin disorder, often develop symptoms years after birth and experience painful flare-ups triggered ...
Medical Xpress / A new ADHD drug targets three brain chemicals instead of two. Here's what that means
A new medicine for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has just entered the treatment toolbox: centanafadine, a once-daily tablet sold under the brand name Simtriyo.
Phys.org / Germany's dry rivers spark battle over engineering vs. restoration
As a heat wave dries Germany's rivers, government ministers are at odds over what to do about it—re-engineer the waterways or restore them to their natural state.
Phys.org / DNA origami nanosyringe actively transports molecules into synthetic cells
Transporting molecules across biological membranes is essential for life. In nature, this can occur through passive transport, known as diffusion. "Biological systems often use mechanical motion to accomplish tasks that cannot ...
Medical Xpress / Could the risk of schizophrenia be identified years before the first symptoms appear?
A study examined the brains of children at increased risk of developing schizophrenia to determine whether signs of vulnerability can be detected during childhood. The findings suggest that subtle brain differences may emerge ...
Medical Xpress / There's a new flu vaccine on the market. Will it move the needle on reducing disease?
Flu season in the Northern Hemisphere is rapidly approaching, and people looking to get their annual shot may now have an additional option.
Medical Xpress / Study ties estrogen-based menopausal hormone therapy to lower Alzheimer's risk
Women on regimens of estrogen-only menopausal hormone therapy are at reduced risk of Alzheimer's disease, a study by Stanford Medicine investigators has found. Because estrogen-only therapy is generally prescribed for women ...
Phys.org / Under-the-radar creeks could be sweeping carbon out of salt marshes
Salt marshes are coastal wetlands that are alternately inundated and exposed by tides. These marshes, like other coastal ecosystems, are hotspots of carbon cycling.
Phys.org / Decoding smell: Study reveals how wind transforms odor signals
Humans trust dogs to help find missing people, and bees to pollinate their crops. But scientists still don't fully understand how these animals use their extraordinary sense of smell to locate the source of an odor.
Tech Xplore / New engineering studies aim to slow battery aging while idle
Most batteries spend more than 70% of their lifetime at rest. Yet few studies have examined calendar aging, which is how a battery degrades when it is neither charging nor being used.
Medical Xpress / Alzheimer's protein patterns vary across populations, biomarker study finds
Blood biomarkers may make it possible to detect changes seen in Alzheimer's disease without advanced brain imaging or cerebrospinal fluid tests. At the same time, much of the research behind today's biomarkers has been conducted ...
