Peptide 3D-printing inks could advance regenerative medicine 2023-02-08
How do you build complex structures for housing cells using a material as soft as jelly? Researchers have the answer with a new 3D-printing ink.
Video game playing causes no harm to young children's cognitive abilities, study finds 2023-02-08
Despite old fears that bad effects follow excessive video game playing or questionable game choices, researchers found those factors mattered little, if any, in children's brain health. The bad news? Video games assumed to be effective learning tools showed no meaningful effects, either.
AI can predict the effectiveness of breast cancer chemotherapy 2023-02-07
Engineers have developed artificial intelligence (AI) technology to predict if women with breast cancer would benefit from chemotherapy prior to surgery.
Brain structural differences observed in children with conduct disorder with and without childhood maltreatment 2023-02-07
Characterized by antisocial behaviors and low academic achievement, conduct disorder (CD) impacts an estimated 9.5% of individuals in the United States. Childhood maltreatment is a major risk factor for CD. Past CD studies have identified structural alterations in various brain regions, such as those implicated in emotion processing, learning, and social cognition. A new study […]
Optimal layout for a hospital isolation room to contain COVID-19 includes ceiling vent 2023-02-07
Researchers recently modeled the transmission of COVID-19 within an isolation room at the Royal Brompton Hospital in London, U.K. Their goal was to explore the optimal room layout to reduce the risk of infection for health care staff.
Fertility treatment does not adversely affect cardiovascular health of offspring, international study suggests 2023-02-07
A large study looking at the effects of fertility treatment has found no robust difference in blood pressure, heart rate, lipids, and glucose measurements between children conceived naturally and those conceived using assisted reproductive technologies (ART).
Fungi and bacteria are binging on burned soil 2023-02-07
UC Riverside researchers have identified tiny organisms that not only survive but thrive during the first year after a wildfire. The findings could help bring land back to life after fires that are increasing in both size and severity.
Will revitalizing old blood slow aging? 2023-02-06
Young blood may be an elixir for older bodies, rejuvenating aging hearts, muscles, and brains. But how can old blood become young again? Stem cell scientists may have found a way.
'Thrifty' low-energy budgets of primary cancer tumors quantified 2023-02-06
In five different types of cancers, researchers found that tumors were successful at proliferating on low-energy budgets in part because they neglect normal tissue functions that healthy organs carry out for the benefit of the body as a whole. The discovery has vast implications for anti-cancer strategies because it directs our attention to slow energy […]
Brain 'zips and unzips' information to perform skilled tasks 2023-02-06
The human brain prepares skilled movements such as playing the piano, competing in athletics, or dancing by 'zipping and unzipping' information about the timing and order of movements ahead of the action being performed, a new study reveals.
Following healthy lifestyle may reduce risk of long COVID 2023-02-06
Women who followed most aspects of a healthy lifestyle, including healthy body weight, not smoking, regular exercise, adequate sleep, high quality diet, and moderate alcohol consumption, had about half the risk of long COVID compared with women without any healthy lifestyle factors, according to a new study.
How a high fat diet allows expulsion of intestinal parasite worms 2023-02-06
Scientists have discovered that a high-fat diet allows the immune system to eliminate a parasitic worm which is a major cause of death and illness in the developing world. Parasitic worms affect up to a billion people, particularly in developing nations with poor sanitation. One of these parasites known as 'whipworm' can cause long lasting […]
Shark bites tied for 10-year low in 2022 but spiked in regional hotspots 2023-02-06
The number of unprovoked shark attacks worldwide decreased last year, tying with 2020 for the fewest number of reported incidents in the last 10 years. There were a total of 57 unprovoked bites in 2022, most of which occurred in the United States and Australia. Of these, five attacks were fatal, down from nine deaths […]
Prehistoric human migration in Southeast Asia driven by sea-level rise 2023-02-06
An interdisciplinary team of scientistshas found that rapid sea-level rise drove early settlers in Southeast Asia to migrate during the prehistoric period, increasing the genetic diversity of the region today.
Interactive cyber-physical human: Generating contact-rich whole-body motions 2023-02-06
Performing human-like motions that involve multiple contacts is challenging for robots. In this regard, a researcher has envisioned an interactive cyber-physical human (iCPH) platform with complementary humanoid (physical twin) and simulation (digital twin) elements. iCPH combines human measurement data, musculoskeletal analysis, and machine learning for data collection and augmentation. As a result, iCPH can understand, […]
Harnessing an innate protection against Ebola 2023-02-05
Researchers have identified a cellular pathway that keeps Ebola virus from exiting human cells, with implications for developing new antivirals.
During dolphin research, engineer discovers new method to possibly improve pharmaceuticals 2023-02-05
Something you maybe never thought of -- dolphins get kidney stones just like people! Now a researcher is reporting a new method to control the growth of ammonium urate crystals, the substance known to cause kidney stones in dolphins and the findings may not only help dolphins but may also have implications for the pharmaceutical […]
Neighborhood walkability linked to risk of gestational diabetes 2023-02-05
A new study finds that higher neighborhood walkability is associated with lower risk of gestational diabetes (GD).
Life in a violent country can be years shorter and much less predictable -- even for those not involved in conflict 2023-02-05
How long people live is less predictable and life expectancy for young people can be as much as 14 years shorter in violent countries, compared to peaceful countries, according to a new study. It reveals a direct link between the uncertainty of living in a violent setting, even for those not directly involved in the […]
Nematodes can help us detect indoor air impurities 2023-02-03
Good quality indoor air is crucial to our well-being, while impurities in the air can compromise our working capacity and health. Researchers have developed a new method for measuring indoor air quality, making use of fluorescent strains of nematodes.
