A team of UTHealth Houston researchers slowed and even reversed diabetic nerve damage in mice, bringing researchers one step closer to developing a treatment for humans. The research is published in Science Translational ...
Phys.org / Terbium's elusive plus-4 form emerges under ordinary lab conditions, opening possibilities for rare-earth metals
Chemists in a new study led by the University of Iowa report they have isolated and described in detail an atypical state of the rare-earth metal terbium, an advance that could expand its use in quantum technologies, including ...
Medical Xpress / Psychiatrists agree on a diagnosis in only 55% of cases, international study finds
In the 1970s, psychiatric diagnoses were marked by considerable uncertainty and disagreement. Since then, organizations such as the American Psychiatric Association and the World Health Organization (WHO) have worked to develop ...
Medical Xpress / Blood protein analysis could help diagnose rare diseases missed by genome sequencing
Researchers from Queen Mary University of London, the Berlin Institute of Health at Charité (BIH) and Genomics England have shown that measuring proteins in the blood can provide important additional clues about the effects ...
Phys.org / AI ethics problem may lie with organizations, not engineers, study finds
AI engineers often recognize ethical risks associated with the systems they build, but many lack the authority, incentives and organizational support needed to act on them, according to new research from the University of ...
