New blood tests are beginning to reshape Alzheimer’s diagnostics by detecting molecular changes linked to the disease years earlier than...
Long COVID and ME/CFS Alter Skeletal Muscle Properties Differently Than Bed Rest
Skeletal muscle may be a key—yet underappreciated—bridge between long COVID and myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), a new study suggests....
Nagoya Institute Scientists Identify Molecular Basis of Red-Green Color Vision
Primate color vision depends on three cone pigments that all bind the same chromophore, 11-cis-retinal. Yet small differences in the...
Vector-Based Olfactory Navigation Strategy Revealed in Drosophila Flies
Flies hunting airborne odor plumes do more than follow scent—they “edge track,” repeatedly steering along the moving boundary between odor...
Chemical distance model may predict which trace elements plants absorb
Simple chemical cues may soon help scientists predict which trace elements are most likely to enter plants from contaminated soils....
Study uncovers how blood cancers evade BTK-targeted therapies
Scientists from Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami have identified a rare mutation that can make certain...
Primary Care Doctors Compare Tradeoffs Between Salaried Employment and Private Practice
A new qualitative study published in The Annals of Family Medicine spotlights how day-to-day practice differs between U.S. primary care...
Advanced Simulations Reveal New Insights Into Proton Transport in Water
International quantum simulations are giving a rare, full-resolution view of how a hydrated proton moves through water. Led by researchers...
Rapid path to antibiotic resistance accelerates spread and treatment failures
Antibiotic resistance is evolving faster than many treatment pipelines can keep up with, largely because bacteria can acquire survival traits...
Columbia’s PROGRESS Study Lays Out Methods for Genetic Risk in Autism
Columbia University’s new Prospective Genetic Risk Evaluation and Assessment (PROGRESS) effort aims to change how genetic risk is handled for...
Timing Transcatheter Closure of Hemodynamically Significant Patent Ductus in Preterm Infants
Transcatheter closure of a hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus (hsPDA) is increasingly used as the definitive way to stop abnormal...
Saitama University Reveals How Ductile Tunnel Supports Withstand Simulated Squeezing Ground Pressure
Mountain tunnels built in weak ground can experience severe inward convergence, known as squeezing ground. As the surrounding rock deforms,...
