Medical Xpress / A brain mechanism may help slow Parkinson's disease—but only in females
Scientists have identified a protective brain pathway that may help slow the progression of Parkinson's disease by strengthening the brain's own dopamine-producing neurons, but the positive effect was only observed in females.
Medical Xpress / Global outbreaks may fuel violence against women—but most cases go unmeasured
Violence against women and girls may increase during infectious disease outbreaks—as economic strain, isolation and disrupted services reshape daily life—yet those impacts remain largely unmeasured, according to researchers ...
Science X / Even iconic fliers get it wrong: Most birds have not evolved optimal wing-shapes
Even the giant wings of the albatross are not "optimally" shaped for their extraordinary long-distance migrations, according to new University of Bristol research. The study, published in Nature Communications, reveals that ...
Tech Xplore / AI fails to make inroads with cybercriminals, study finds
Cybercriminals have been struggling to adopt AI in their work, reports the first-of-its-kind study that analyzed a dataset of 100 million posts from underground cybercrime communities. The study is published on the arXiv ...
Medical Xpress / This hand-held cancer probe feels what surgeons may miss and changes how tumors are found in real time
Breast cancer impacts over two million women around the world each year. Following radiotherapy or chemotherapy, breast-conserving surgery is the first line of intervention for early-stage breast cancer. This surgery aims ...
Medical Xpress / Two drug strategies boost myelin repair in MS models, cutting neuroinflammation
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is most prevalent in Northern Europe and Canada, and more common in the northernmost latitudes. In recent years, the number of cases has grown, particularly among women. The disease causes the patient's ...
Phys.org / An experiment shows that yellow trout can grow larger than the wild strain
An experiment conducted in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, has concluded that yellow trout can grow larger than the wild strain, which is the most commonly farmed phenotype of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). The yellow, ...
Phys.org / How oak trees outwit their predators
Spring in the forest: Many insects, particularly caterpillars, hatch just when the trees' nutrient-rich leaves are still young and soft. This means they find a table laden with food and can start eating straight away. If ...
Medical Xpress / The '100‑day cough' that adults often miss
Whooping cough, medically known as pertussis, is a highly contagious bacterial infection that affects the airways. It gets its common name from the "whoop" sound that some infected children make when they take a deep, gasping ...
Medical Xpress / Even silent tissue reactions can shape long-term breast implant outcomes
A new study suggests that breast implant complications are often not just mechanical events, but may be linked to slow biological changes in the surrounding (peri-implant) tissue over time. Researchers have found that microbial ...
Phys.org / Rotated lithium niobate crystals unlock conductive interfaces in otherwise insulating material
An international research team involving the Institute for Photonic Quantum Systems (PhoQS) at Paderborn University has made significant progress in researching so-called quantum materials. Their extraordinary properties—electrical ...
Phys.org / Selling yourself short: New research shows how sexualized dating profiles can undermine long-term appeal
New research led by Prof. Gurit Birnbaum, a researcher of sexuality in close relationships at Reichman University's Baruch Ivcher School of Psychology, and conducted in collaboration with her graduate student Kobi Zholtack ...
