Medical Xpress / Molecular difference in autistic brains may explain signaling imbalance
Yale School of Medicine (YSM) scientists have discovered a molecular difference in the brains of autistic people compared to their neurotypical counterparts.
Phys.org / New species are being discovered faster than ever before, study suggests
About 300 years ago, Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus set out on a bold quest: to identify and name every living organism on Earth. Now celebrated as the father of modern taxonomy, he developed the binomial naming system ...
Medical Xpress / Protein MCL1 links cancer cell survival and energy metabolism
A study by the Mildred Scheel Early Career Center group led by Dr. Mohamed Elgendy at the TUD Faculty of Medicine provides fundamental insights into cancer biology. Published in Nature Communications, the study shows for ...
Medical Xpress / Birth control can ease PCOS symptoms without added heart or diabetes risk, clinical trial finds
Birth control pills, taken alone or paired with the drug metformin, did not raise the risk of metabolic syndrome, a precursor of heart disease and diabetes in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) even if those women ...
Phys.org / Ultra-high-resolution lidar reveals hidden cloud structures
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory and collaborators have developed a new type of lidar—a laser-based remote-sensing instrument—that can observe cloud structures at the ...
Phys.org / A DIY, fly-powered food waste recycling system
UC Riverside scientists have created a small-scale system that transforms food waste into high-protein animal feed and fertilizer using black soldier flies, offering a sustainable solution to a major environmental problem.
Tech Xplore / Magnetic control of lithium enables a safe, explosion-free 'dream battery'
A new battery technology has been developed that delivers significantly higher energy storage—enough to alleviate EV range concerns—while lowering the risk of thermal runaway and explosion.
Medical Xpress / Major complications seen in 7% of patients with ADPKD undergoing nephrectomy
Major complications occur in 7.0% of patients undergoing nephrectomy with a diagnosis of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), according to a study published online Dec. 17 in Urology Practice.
Phys.org / Mysterious, thermally insulating patches at the base of Earth's mantle
With modern seismic tomography, Earth scientists have discovered that above Earth's core-mantle boundary (CMB), about 2,900 kilometers beneath our feet, there is a thin layer about 300 kilometers thick with remarkable structural ...
Phys.org / Promising new superconducting material discovered with the help of AI
Tohoku University and Fujitsu Limited have successfully used AI to derive new insights into the superconductivity mechanism of a new superconducting material.
Medical Xpress / Modified tau thwarts aggregation in neurodegenerative disease—while retaining its biological function
A designer version of the tau protein, developed by a team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers, maintains its biological function while resisting aggregation, a pathological trait linked to neurodegenerative ...
Phys.org / West Antarctica's history of rapid melting foretells sudden shifts in continent's 'catastrophic' geology
Due to its thick, vast ice sheet, Antarctica appears to be a single, continuous landmass centered over the South Pole and spanning both hemispheres of the globe. The Western Hemisphere sector of the ice sheet is shaped like ...
