This new method has been compared with conventional mechanical and electrical pressure measurements, providing...
A team of researchers found that HIV takes refuge in lymph nodes in the spleen and gut during antiretroviral treatment. These cells, which are part of the immune response, allow the virus to escape treatment by limiting drug flow or eliminating them faster.
A new study found that farmers prefer receiving mental health information from licensed medical providers, spouses, and friends. Face-to-face communication, such as newspapers and magazines, is also preferred over online methods like social media and the internet.
A recent study published in Nutrition Today found that infant and toddler foods in pouches tend to have higher sugar content and fewer single-vegetable products compared to jarred or tray-packaged options. This highlights the need for caregivers to be aware of the nutritional profiles of these popular convenience foods.
This study examines how penguin species in Antarctica respond to changes in krill availability due to human activities and climate change. The analysis of nitrogen stable isotope values reveals that gentoo penguins shift their diet towards fish and squid, while chinstrap penguins remain exclusive to krill.
A Yale University analysis found that online grocery delivery systems cover 90% of food deserts, increasing access to nutritious food for low-income communities. The study suggests that online shopping can reduce obesity and improve health outcomes by providing essential nutrients and promoting better eating habits.
Researchers have made significant breakthroughs in cell-free gene expression, enabling high-yielding protein synthesis and expanding genetically encoded chemistry. This has opened doors to create new types of enzymes, materials, and therapeutics. Northwestern University's Center for Synthetic Biology is at the forefront of this field.
Researchers have developed a new tool that can analyze 1.4 million genetic sequences simultaneously, allowing them to study species relationships on a larger scale than before. This technology has the potential to reconstruct how life has evolved over hundreds of millions of years and unlock secrets about the code of life.
The study challenges scholarly consensus on the Justinianic Plague's effects, finding no detectable decrease in economic vitality or demographic decline. Historical texts exaggerate plague mortality, and burial customs remained unchanged despite the outbreak.
A study by Anglia Ruskin University found that LGB students with supportive families had a significantly lower chance of being bullied at school and in the workplace. The researchers discovered that family support reduced bullying by 31% for gay and bisexual men and 25.6% for lesbian or bisexual women during school age.
Researchers at the Institute for Basic Science discovered a carrier multiplication process in 2D semiconductors that could improve the efficiency of solar cells. The phenomenon is more efficient in 2D materials than in bulk semiconductors and has the potential to increase the maximum power conversion efficiency up to 46%
Researchers found that rats susceptible to depression had more serotonin neurons after chronic stress, but these effects could be reversed through amygdala activation. In contrast, resilient rats showed no significant change in serotonin levels under stressful conditions.
A recent study by researchers at SESYNC found no concrete evidence to attribute the effects of the Justinianic Plague to the pandemic. The team examined diverse datasets, including written sources, inscriptions, and pollen samples, but found that trends continued without change before and after the plague outbreak.
US President Donald Trump's Twitter use 'hyper-personalised, character assassinated and used unprofessional language' to gain support, the authors say. His tweets proved devastatingly effective in the 2016 election campaign.
A study found that users view native ads as advertisements and use them to evaluate advertisers. Users who see native ads continue their search and are more likely to click on the advertiser's organic listings and make a purchase.
A McGill University-led research team found evidence that glacial meltwater provided oxygen to eukaryotes during the most severe ice age, allowing them to survive. The study's findings shed light on extreme climate change and evolution, suggesting a link between Snowball Earth and animal evolution.
A new study reveals a statistical connection between cancer incidence rates and precipitation, as well as climate zones in the US. Researchers found that counties with high precipitation and cold climates have significantly higher invasive cancer rates.
A new study presents a novel MRI-guided procedure that effectively treats prostate cancer with minimal side effects. The technique, called TULSA, uses therapeutic ultrasound to destroy diseased prostate tissue while sparing healthy nerve tissue.
A University of Colorado Cancer Center study suggests two new approaches to treating bone metastases from prostate cancer: targeting different signaling pathways for lytic and blastic lesions. Both types of bone metastases show promise with anti-cancer immunotherapy, particularly those with high PD-L1 levels.
A new study published in The Lancet Public Health estimates that one in two homeless people experience a head injury, with moderate or severe injuries affecting nearly a quarter. The research suggests providing stable housing may lower the risk of traumatic brain injury for this vulnerable group.
A new study suggests that volcanic eruptions triggered by tectonics led to the Great Oxidation Event, a significant increase in oxygen in Earth's atmosphere about 2.5 billion years ago. The research proposes that this event was also linked to a change in the composition of carbon isotopes in carbonate rock record.
The C4 Rice Project aims to create a more efficient photosynthetic pathway, allowing rice to thrive in harsher environments. By the end of the next phase in 2024, scientists hope to have experimental field plots up and running in Taiwan.
A new study has confirmed a direct link between inbreeding and facial deformities in the Habsburg dynasty. The research found that the 'Habsburg jaw', a distinct chin characteristic, was more prevalent among family members with higher degrees of relatedness.
Researchers developed a method to forecast probability and severity of aftershocks, analyzing seismic patterns and incorporating statistical methods. This tool provides a useful approach for mitigating earthquake hazard, enabling timely updates based on new data.
A study published in Neuropsychopharmacology found that chronic opioid treatment before a traumatic event enhances fear learning in mice, potentially linking opioid dependence to PTSD. The findings suggest that individuals with a history of opioid use may become more susceptible to the negative effects of stress.
Researchers have developed 'clever drugs for slimy bugs' to combat staph infections by destroying biofilms that prevent conventional antibiotics from working. Hybrid antibiotics have been shown to kill bacteria directly or leave them susceptible to killing in lab-grown biofilms.
Researchers have identified two brain networks that interact to increase the risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviors. These networks involve alterations in structure, function, or biochemistry that lead to excessive negative thoughts and difficulties regulating emotions.
The experience of Arctic peoples can help with regional adaptation measures. A seminar brought together researchers, local residents, and government officials to discuss climate change problems and find solutions.
