Researchers explore activating SLC transporters to treat brain disorders, including epilepsy, autism, and Alzheimer's, by regulating neurotransmitter and energy balance. Gene therapies also target SLC deficiencies in neurodevelopmental disorders.
A recent study found that coyote density in Seattle is 9 times higher than in wild areas, with urban coyotes benefiting from abundant food and reduced predation. Coyotes' diets are also more diverse in cities, with a wider variety of food options available, including berries and rabbits.
The Urban Mining Screener tool helps assess the potential resources within existing buildings, enabling recycling, reuse, and more accurate planning of building material flows. By analyzing geodata and building archetypes, the tool estimates materials used in buildings, providing valuable information for demolition contractors, manufac...
Researchers found a statistical relationship between the size of sunspots and the energy released during flares, suggesting that superflares can occur in rare cases
New research from the University of Exeter found that greater independence is not automatically associated with better wellbeing in children. The study highlights the importance of creating conditions that make independence possible, including safer communities and support for parents.
Patients with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma who responded to neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy and underwent reduced-volume surgery had high disease-free survival and organ preservation rates. The study also found that PD-L1 expression may serve as a potential predictive biomarker for response to ICT.
Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology have developed a new method for performing advanced quantum operations significantly faster and more efficiently. This breakthrough addresses a well-known bottleneck in quantum computing and paves the way for fault-tolerant quantum computing.
The Global Forum on Mechanical Engineering 2026 explored the potential of Physical AI in various industries, including manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare. Key highlights include KAIROS, a Korean AI humanoid robot that demonstrated advanced full-body movements, and future directions for the development of humanoid AI.
Researchers found that rituximab treatment increases mitochondrial energy production and reduces cell stress in T cells, leading to improved response rates in patients with nephrotic syndrome. This discovery could help predict patient response to treatment and identify suitable candidates for early remission.
Researchers developed an ABCS reactor for simultaneous treatment of solid waste and wastewater from biomanufacturing, achieving a 1.62-fold increase in methane production. The technology improves wastewater treatment efficiency, reduces facility size, and enables energy self-sufficiency.
