Phys.org / Stress-reduction molecule has potential to treat aging and metabolic disorders
University of Queensland researchers say the discovery of a new stress reduction role for a naturally occurring molecule in the body could lead to new drugs and treatment for metabolic disorders and aging.
Phys.org / Athens hit with several months of rain in one day: Expert
A deadly storm this week dumped nearly six months of rain on the Greek capital Athens in less than a day, one of the country's top weather experts told AFP on Thursday.
Phys.org / South Africa's Kruger park suffers 'devastating' damage from floods
South Africa's iconic Kruger National Park suffered major damage to critical infrastructure in recent flooding, with the cost of repairs estimated to run over 30 million dollars, officials said Thursday.
Phys.org / Chimpanzees are better at solving resource dilemmas in larger, more tolerant groups
Despite being one of the most cooperative species on the planet, humans routinely fail to manage shared resources sustainably. We overfish from the oceans, burn fossil fuels, and over-prescribe antibiotics; behaviors that ...
Phys.org / The hidden microbial communities that shape health in space
Microorganisms live in biofilms—the equivalent of microbial "cities"—everywhere on Earth. These city-like structures protect and house microbial communities and play essential roles in enabling human and plant health ...
Phys.org / Space station crew credits ultrasound machine for handling in-orbit health crisis
The astronauts evacuated last week from the International Space Station say a portable ultrasound machine came in "super handy" during the medical crisis.
Medical Xpress / Microbial shifts in the gut drive intestinal stem cell aging, but reversal is possible
A new study reveals that age-related changes in the gut microbiota directly impair intestinal stem cell (ISC) function and that restoring a youthful microbial environment can reverse this decline.
Medical Xpress / Accelerating pluripotent stem cell-derived therapies for patients
The International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) has released "Charting the Translational Pathway: ISSCR Best Practices for the Development of Pluripotent Stem Cell (PSC)-Derived Therapies," a new paper highlighting ...
Tech Xplore / NASA tests technology offering potential fuel savings for commercial aviation
NASA researchers successfully completed a high-speed taxi test of a scale model of a design that could make future aircraft more efficient by improving how air flows across a wing's surface, saving fuel and money.
Phys.org / NASA's Artemis II mission to fly legacy keepsakes with astronaut crew
As America approaches its 250th anniversary of declaring independence, NASA's Artemis II mission will carry a host of mementos that reflect the nation's long tradition of exploration, innovation, and leadership in its official ...
Medical Xpress / New approach offers hope for people with rare eye cancer
Researchers at Queen Mary's Barts Cancer Institute have found a more active approach to monitoring and treating people with a rare eye cancer (known as uveal melanoma) that has spread to the liver could help some patients ...
Medical Xpress / Chemotherapy rewires gut bacteria to curb metastasis, research reveals
Chemotherapy commonly damages the intestinal lining, a well-known side effect. But this injury does not remain confined to the gut. It reshapes nutrient availability for intestinal bacteria, forcing the microbiota to adapt.
