Phys.org / When the air gets dry, cockroaches cuddle: Study reveals survival strategy
When conditions get too dry, Madagascar hissing cockroaches like to "cuddle." Under certain conditions, the large insects gather in groups, with many participants in physical contact with one another. According to recent ...
Medical Xpress / How the cheese-noodle principle could help counter Alzheimer's
Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have clarified how spermine—a small molecule that regulates many processes in the body's cells—can guard against diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's: It renders ...
Medical Xpress / New CAR T strategy targets most common form of heart disease
A pioneering preclinical study has shown that CAR T cell therapy—a personalized form of immunotherapy used in cancer treatment—could be a highly effective tool against atherosclerosis, the condition where a build-up of ...
Medical Xpress / Targeting brain immune cells could restore Alzheimer's-related lipid imbalance, research shows
More than a century ago, Alois Alzheimer noted unusual changes in brain fats, which he described as "lipoid granules," along with the buildup of amyloid‐beta (amyloid) plaques and tau protein tangles. These observations ...
Tech Xplore / A brain-like chip interprets neural network connectivity in real time
The ability to analyze the brain's neural connectivity is emerging as a key foundation for brain-computer interface (BCI) technologies, such as controlling artificial limbs and enhancing human intelligence. To make these ...
