Phys.org / AI generates short DNA sequences that show promise for gene therapies
Scientists at the Broad Institute and Mass General Brigham have built a generative AI model that creates short DNA segments that can control gene activity in specific cells. These sequences, called cis-regulatory elements ...
Medical Xpress / Popular brain mapping method found to lack disorder-specific accuracy
A popular technique for studying brain disorders, known as lesion network mapping (LNM), appears to have a fundamental limitation. This is the conclusion of neuroscientists from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and the University ...
Medical Xpress / In rare cases, autoantibodies can cause severe reactions to a discontinued Chikungunya vaccine
A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests that rare cases of brain inflammation linked to live-attenuated yellow fever and Chikungunya vaccines were due to autoantibodies carried ...
Phys.org / Nepal's green success story has a hidden social gap, research shows
In recent years, Nepal has been heralded as a global leader in community-based forest conservation. By handing over nearly a third of its nationally owned forest to local villagers in the 1980s, the country reversed years ...
Medical Xpress / Gout medication may reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke
A new study, led by experts at the University of Nottingham, has found that medicines used to treat gout can also reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke in people with gout.
Phys.org / Tapping into risk in America's drinking water
When you turn on the tap, you can typically expect clean, safe water to flow out. But behind that simple action lies a complex system of pipes, pumps, governance, and financials that, for millions of Americans, is at risk ...
Phys.org / How NASA is homing in from space on ocean debris
In late 2025, scientists reported that for the first time, they were able to detect concentrations of plastic pollution on land using NASA's Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation (EMIT) sensor aboard the International ...
Medical Xpress / Deep learning model can predict cardiopulmonary disease in retinal images of premature infants
A deep learning model using retinal images obtained during retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) screening may be used to predict diagnosis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and pulmonary hypertension (PH), according to a study ...
Medical Xpress / What to know about breast self-awareness and how it fits into cancer prevention
What does it mean to have breast self-awareness?
Phys.org / New evidence reveals how Greenland's seaweed locks away carbon in the deep ocean
An interdisciplinary study confirms, for the first time, the oceanographic pathways that transport floating macroalgae from the coastal waters of Southwest Greenland to deep-sea carbon reservoirs, potentially playing a previously ...
Phys.org / AI agents streamline discovery of safer, more efficient solid electrolytes for batteries
Solid-state batteries are widely viewed as a key technology for the future of energy storage, particularly for electric vehicles and large-scale renewable energy systems. Unlike conventional lithium-ion batteries, which rely ...
Medical Xpress / Pregnancy stroke signs are often missed, study shows
More than 25% of pregnant or postpartum women who suffered an acute stroke had had encounters with health care providers for stroke-related symptoms within the prior month but did not receive a timely diagnosis, finds University ...
