Medical Xpress / Blood test reveals clearer prognosis after cardiac arrest
A blood biomarker yet to be used in cardiac arrest care can give a clearer picture of the extent of brain damage after a cardiac arrest. This has been shown in a large international multicenter study led by researchers at ...
Medical Xpress / New immunotherapy targets for glioblastoma identified by mapping cell interactions
Glioblastoma is the most common form of brain cancer in adults, and its consequences are usually quick and fatal. After receiving standard-of-care treatment (surgery followed by radiation and chemotherapy), fewer than half ...
Phys.org / Wildfires can turn harmless minerals in soils into contaminants, research shows
In the wake of a wildfire, a vital micronutrient can become a toxic heavy metal—and could eventually make its way into groundwater.
Medical Xpress / 'Sloth fever' unlikely to spread via mosquitoes in southeastern US, say researchers
In 2024, "sloth fever" hit the news cycle as a new public health threat: The virus was found in people who'd recently traveled to Cuba, and the serious health risks associated with the disease prompted concern about whether ...
Phys.org / Swedish freshwater bacteria reveal lost genes and unexpected photosynthesis abilities
Bacteria are among the most diverse and ancient forms of life on Earth. Yet, much of what is known about them comes from a small group of species, mostly studied for their roles in human health.
Medical Xpress / Mini-tumors combine synthetic and real cells to simulate immune responses
Normally, the immune system recognizes and eliminates abnormal cells. However, cancer cells can develop strategies to evade this control: they block defense mechanisms or send inhibitory signals. In this way, tumors can grow ...
Phys.org / Hidden patterns of isolation and segregation found in all American cities
A comprehensive analysis of 383 U.S. cities reveals a striking pattern: most have rings of isolation in suburban areas and segregated pockets near the urban core, that are shaped by race, wealth, and proximity to downtown, ...
