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 ...
Phys.org / Tomb more than 1,000 years old found in Panama
Archaeologists have discovered a tomb more than a thousand years old in Panama containing human remains alongside gold and ceramic artifacts, the lead researcher told AFP on Friday.
Phys.org / New database may unlock potential of lipids in treating and preventing disease
A new tool enables biomedical researchers from around the world to quickly see the connections between lipids and proteins inside cells, thanks to a new initiative led by scientists at Oregon Health & Science University. ...
Phys.org / How early farming unintentionally bred highly competitive 'warrior' wheat
An evolutionary "arms race" for light and space led to the early domestication of wheat, according to new research that could offer fresh insights into crop design. The study led by Dr. Yixiang Shan and Professor Colin Osborne, ...
Phys.org / Why the planet doesn't dry out all at once: Scientists solve a global climate puzzle
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IITGN), in collaboration with international partners, have shown that ocean temperature patterns help limit the global spread of droughts. Published in Communications ...
Medical Xpress / Smarter tissue and organ repair thanks to next-gen hydrogel
A multidisciplinary team have built hydrogels built entirely from synthetic peptides so their properties can be precisely tailored through chemical design. By harnessing the power of collagen-inspired peptides and light-triggered ...
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 / Alloy-engineered valleytronics: Microscopic mechanism gives scientists precise control over how excitons behave
Scientists have observed a new microscopic mechanism enabling precise control of the magneto-optical properties of excitons in alloys of two-dimensional semiconductors. This discovery opens up tangible prospects for technological ...
Medical Xpress / Children born with upper limb difference show the incredible adaptability of the young brain
A unique study imaging brain activity in children born with upper limb difference—for example, one hand—has shown the amazing ability of the brain to adapt to compensate and support their daily lives. The research, led ...
Phys.org / Smarter shelf strategy can boost retail profits and cut food waste by more than 20%, study finds
Grocery retailers may not need new technology—or behavior change from shoppers—to meaningfully reduce food waste. New research in the journal Management Science finds that small operational decisions already under a retailer's ...
Phys.org / Globe-trotting ancient 'sea-salamander' fossils rediscovered from Australia's dawn of the Age of Dinosaurs
Around 250 million years ago, what is today scorching desert in remote northwestern Australia was the shore of a shallow bay bordering a vast prehistoric ocean. Fossils recovered from this region over 60 years ago, and almost ...
Medical Xpress / DeepRare AI outperforms doctors on rare disease diagnosis in head-to-head test
Rare diseases are complex medical disorders that are notoriously difficult to diagnose because many present with a wide variety of symptoms that can overlap with more common illnesses. Currently, around 300 million people ...
