Medical Xpress / Surgical stitches could release anti-inflammatory drugs at wound sites for weeks
Deep cuts from accidents or surgeries require stitches, typically followed by oral anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen. While these medications help with pain, they don't act specifically on the wounds. Consequently, ...
Phys.org / Highly and casually active citizen scientists contribute equally valuable data
The word "nemotia" is a neologism, a newly coined term that in this case, describes the sense of overwhelmingness and disconnect accompanying the thought that nothing you do will ever make a difference. If this describes ...
Medical Xpress / Nicotine e-cigarettes found to be more successful in helping smokers quit
A new analysis of existing studies co-led by a University of Massachusetts Amherst public health researcher finds that nicotine e-cigarettes consistently help adults quit smoking, a conclusion that emerges with striking agreement ...
Medical Xpress / New medicine piggybacks onto fat absorption pathways to allow oral delivery in major depressive disorder
Monash University and Seaport Therapeutics have developed a new approach to delivering drug molecules that piggybacks onto natural fat absorption pathways to allow oral delivery of some drugs previously requiring injection. ...
Phys.org / How birds send heat into space measured for the first time—a hidden reflectance of feathers
As human-caused climate change continues to raise temperatures across the globe, understanding how birds regulate their temperature is vital for their conservation. But how much heat birds emit—an invisible spectrum of radiation ...
Tech Xplore / Stamping high-res imagery onto everyday items to 'reprogram' their appearance
Imagine a world where you could change the designs you see on bags, shirts, and walls whenever you want. Typical clothes would become customizable fashion pieces, while your humble abode could turn into a smart home. That's ...
Medical Xpress / Simple blood tests may predict response to lymphoma treatment
Many people with an aggressive blood cancer called diffuse large B cell lymphoma are cured by the current gold standard of treatment: an antibody designed to wipe out cancerous B cells plus a combination of four chemotherapy ...
Medical Xpress / Single-cell maps show chemokine signals collapse as aggressive lymphoma spreads
Lymph nodes are key control centers in the immune system and play an important role in defending the body against infections and tumors. For these processes to function properly, immune cells (B cells and T cells) must be ...

Researchers from Leiden University, University of York, University of Barcelona/IQTCUB/ICREA and The Francis Crick Institute report a new class of experimental compounds that powerfully block influenza viruses. The findings ...
Phys.org / Snow flies produce bursts of heat and proteins to avoid freezing, new study finds
In a new study, Northwestern University scientists explored how snow flies—small, wingless insects that crawl across snow to find mates and lay eggs—survive in freezing cold temperatures. They discovered this snow-dwelling ...
Phys.org / The truth of timekeeping lies within: Key developments in understanding circadian rhythms
Almost all living things have an internal 24-hour clock that remains accurate regardless of temperature or other environmental changes. This clock is a highly sophisticated yet simple timekeeping mechanism that is critically ...
Tech Xplore / 'Neuron-freezing' technique can stop LLMs from giving users unsafe responses
Researchers have identified key components in large language models (LLMs) that play a critical role in ensuring these AI systems provide safe responses to user queries. The researchers used these insights to develop and ...
