Parallels in human, dog oral tumors could speed new therapies 2021-11-29
Recent research compared the genetic expression profiles of a nonlethal canine tumor and the rare, devastating human oral tumor it resembles, laying the groundwork for potential translational medicine down the road.
Potential new therapeutic pathway to clear chronic viral infections 2021-11-29
A recent study in mice has uncovered that during chronic viral infection, a protein called BMI-1 gets turned on too early in B cells and messes up the delicate balance of gene expression, resulting in antibodies that are unsuccessful in their endeavor to clear the virus from the body.
Researchers shrink camera to the size of a salt grain 2021-11-29
Researchers have developed an ultracompact camera the size of a coarse grain of salt. The new system can produce crisp, full-color images on par with a conventional compound camera lens 500,000 times larger in volume.
Farmers spread Transeurasian languages 2021-11-29
New research provides interdisciplinary support for the 'Farming Hypothesis' of language dispersal, tracing Transeurasian languages back to the first farmers moving across Northeast Asia beginning in the Early Neolithic -- roughly between 8-10 thousand years ago.
Spicy breast milk? 2021-11-29
In part of a recent human study led by the Technical University of Munich (TUM), it was found that after eating a curry dish containing pepper, piperine - an alkaloid responsible for the pungency of pepper - was present in the milk of breastfeeding women. The findings help decipher mechanisms that shape our food preferences […]
How can our brain still perceive familiar objects even when they become indistinct? 2021-11-27
Researchers have explored the brain neuronal mechanism that allows the perception of familiar images even if they are indistinct. They found that the number of neurons responding to low-contrast rather than high-contrast visual stimuli increased in rats performing a visual orientation discrimination task after repeated experiences. These neurons showed stronger activities in correct-choice than incorrect-choice […]
Only alcohol -- not caffeine, diet or lack of sleep -- might trigger heart rhythm condition 2021-11-24
New research that tested possible triggers of a common heart condition, including caffeine, sleep deprivation and sleeping on the left side, found that only alcohol use was consistently associated with more episodes of the heart arrhythmia.
Morning exposure to deep red light improves declining eyesight 2021-11-24
Just three minutes of exposure to deep red light once a week, when delivered in the morning, can significantly improve declining eyesight, finds a pioneering new study.
We might not know half of what’s in our cells, new AI technique reveals 2021-11-24
Artificial intelligence-based technique reveals previously unknown cell components that may provide new clues to human development and disease.
COVID-19 became much more lethal in late 2020, UK study suggests 2021-11-24
A new statistical analysis supports beliefs that COVID-19 became more lethal in the U.K. in late 2020, while also suggesting that multiple factors -- not just the alpha variant of the virus that causes COVID-19 -- were to blame.
How eating less in early life could help with reproduction later on 2021-11-24
New research shows how switching from a restricted diet to eating as much as you like could be beneficial for reproduction in later life. Researchers studied the eating and mating habits of the small fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. They found that those that switched from a restricted diet to unlimited food, started mating and reproducing […]
Ultrashort-pulse lasers kill bacterial superbugs, spores 2021-11-23
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have found that multidrug-resistant bacteria and bacterial spores can be killed by ultrashort-pulse lasers. The findings could lead to new ways to sterilize wounds and blood products without damaging human cells.
How moles change into melanoma 2021-11-23
Melanoma researchers published a study that gives a new explanation of what causes moles to change into melanoma. These findings pave the way for more research into how to reduce the risk of melanoma, delay development, and detect melanoma early.
Researchers study extent of healthcare avoidance during COVID-19 2021-11-23
One in five individuals avoided healthcare during lockdown in the COVID-19 pandemic, often for potentially urgent symptoms, according to a new study.
Aspirin is linked with increased risk of heart failure in some 2021-11-23
Aspirin use is associated with a 26% raised risk of heart failure in people with at least one predisposing factor for the condition.
Latte lovers rejoice! Study reveals drinking coffee could lower the risk of Alzheimer’s disease 2021-11-23
Good news for those of us who can't face the day without their morning flat white: a long-term study has revealed drinking higher amounts of coffee may make you less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease.
Prehistoric mums may have cared for kids better than we thought 2021-11-23
A new study has revealed the death rate of babies in ancient societies is not a reflection of poor healthcare, disease and other factors, but instead is an indication of the number of babies born in that era.
Optoelectrode changes reduce injuries to brain tissue, improve nerve research 2021-11-23
Researchers have developed a technique for assembling optoelectrodes that looks to offer the best of silicon-based electrodes and polymer-based electrodes. The scientists demonstrated it is possible to efficiently create a semiflexible light-emitting electrode by removing the stiff silicon material from underneath the tip of the probe. The resulting device can study deep brain tissues with […]
Can we perceive gender from children's voices? 2021-11-23
Researchers report developing a database of speech samples from children ages 5 to 18 to explore two questions: What types of changes occur in children's voices as they become adults, and how do listeners adjust to the enormous variability in acoustic patterns across speakers? When they presented listeners with both syllables and sentences from different […]
Social stress key to population's rate of COVID-19 infection, study finds 2021-11-23
Mathematicians have analysed global COVID-19 data to identify two constants which can drastically change a country's rate of infection.
