Medical Xpress / Centuries-old medicine benefits heart failure patients, studies show
A low dose of digoxin ensures that people with heart failure are hospitalized and die less frequently. This emerges from three studies led by UMCG cardiologists Dirk Jan van Veldhuisen, Kevin Damman, and Peter van der Meer. ...
Phys.org / Roots reveal climate adaptation as 284 plant varieties reshape water barrier
Plant roots are far more than simple absorption organs: they can adjust their structure to better cope with water stress. Scientists at the University of Geneva (UNIGE), in collaboration with the University of Lausanne (UNIL), ...
Medical Xpress / Human islet map links cell mix to insulin output and diabetes risk
Diabetes is the most common and serious chronic disease worldwide, characterized by insufficient insulin to maintain proper blood glucose levels. It affects more than 12% of Americans and is the eighth leading cause of death ...
Phys.org / Quantum circuit test finally exposes what has been warping performance
Quantum computers could someday solve pressing problems that are too convoluted for classical computers, such as modeling complex molecular interactions to streamline drug discovery and materials development.
Phys.org / How we feel political emotions in our bodies—and why this matters for democracy
Researchers have found our emotions toward politics not only play on our minds, but shape how our bodies respond to political experiences, even driving political participation higher. The new study, published in the Proceedings ...
Tech Xplore / End-of-life batteries yield next-generation cathode under mild conditions, with 95% reuse
Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) researchers, in collaboration with scientists at Argonne National Laboratory, have developed a new strategy to transform low-value battery waste into a next-generation cathode material ...
Medical Xpress / FDA clears ArteraAI Breast for breast cancer risk stratification
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has cleared ArteraAI Breast for use in patients with early-stage, hormone receptor (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative invasive breast cancer.
Tech Xplore / Americans love their iPhones (though sometimes they wish they could live without them)
The American obsession with the iPhone is complicated, as most love-hate relationships are.
Tech Xplore / Light-tunable polarization sensor could sharpen self-driving cars and medical scans
A technology that surpasses the limitations of existing sensors, which fail to distinguish between water and asphalt on dark roads, has emerged to enhance the accuracy of autonomous driving and medical diagnostics. A research ...
Medical Xpress / Hidden cell 'message route' could shift cancer research
A team at Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah (the U) has uncovered a previously unrecognized molecular mechanism by which cells send signals to one another—an insight that could help researchers better understand ...
Medical Xpress / Once-weekly brisk interval walk rivals thrice-weekly for fat loss with the same total workout time
A research team from the School of Public Health at the LKS Faculty of Medicine, the University of Hong Kong (HKUMed), has found that brisk interval walking performed once a week can significantly improve body fat reduction ...
Phys.org / Meet the whistling mice that use inflatable air sacs to sing
Mice do more than just squeak when they want to make a noise. They can also sing. And the way they do it is different from most mammals that produce sounds by vibrating their vocal cords. When Alston's singing mouse (Scotinomys ...
