Medical Xpress / Osteoporosis often goes undetected and untreated: How doctors are changing that
For many years, older adult patients who fractured their hip typically spent most of their recovery time with orthopedic doctors, working to regain their strength and function. But for some of those patients, that care only ...
Medical Xpress / Progress on overdose deaths could be jeopardized by federal cuts, critics say
The Trump administration has made deep cuts to the main federal agency focused on fighting opioid addiction, potentially jeopardizing the nation's recent progress on reducing overdose deaths, some public health officials ...
Phys.org / Seeing the hidden microbial world beneath our feet—from the sky
A new study by Dr. Angela Harris from The University of Manchester and Professor Richard Bardgett from Lancaster University has revealed that scientists can now detect the hidden world of microbes living in the soil—from ...
Medical Xpress / Heat shock protein masks BRCA1 mutations, suggesting a new treatment path
Researchers from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center identified a new role for heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) in cancer predisposition and treatment resistance.
Phys.org / How fish embryos first regulate their genes
A RIKEN researcher and his colleague have identified how genes are expressed in fish embryos when they first start using their own genetic material. If the same mechanisms apply to humans, they could shed light on developmental ...
Phys.org / Could the solution to the carbon problem be carbon itself?
Can we use carbon to help decarbonize the world and transform the energy and chemical industries? Yes, it seems, but there are some key challenges to overcome first.
Phys.org / Theoretical framework for electrocatalysis expands clean energy production opportunities
An international study, involving researchers from the University of Tartu Institute of Chemistry, was recently published in Chemical Society Reviews. It provides the most comprehensive theoretical description to date of ...
Tech Xplore / Lightweight design benchmark enables direct comparison of different methods
How can components be designed for an optimal balance of minimal weight and maximum robustness? This is a challenge faced by many industries, from medical device manufacturing to the automotive and aeronautics sectors.
Medical Xpress / Depression tied to immune system imbalance, not just brain chemistry
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is characterized by a lowered mood and loss of interest, contributing not only to difficulties in academic and professional life but also as a major cause of suicide in South Korea. However, ...
Phys.org / Researchers uncover the source of widespread 'forever chemical' contamination in North Carolina
An environmental chemistry laboratory at Duke University has solved a longstanding mystery of the origin of high levels of PFAS—so-called "forever chemicals"—contaminating water sources in the Piedmont region of North ...
Phys.org / Over a decade in the making: Lanthanide nanocrystals illuminate new possibilities
In a discovery shaped by more than a decade of steady, incremental effort rather than a dramatic breakthrough, scientists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and their collaborators demonstrated that great ideas ...
Phys.org / All flow directions scheme can boost weather forecast accuracy in complex terrain
Imagine trying to predict wind patterns as air flows across a landscape. It's a straightforward task over a flat plain—but becomes more complex when the terrain shifts to jagged mountain ranges. Here, wind does not simply ...
