Scientists uncover cellular mechanism driving both rare childhood dementia and Alzheimer's disease
Researchers at the University of California San Diego and their colleagues have identified a key cellular pathway that drives brain degeneration in both a rare childhood disorder and the far more common Alzheimer's disease.
More than a decade of observation in Seattle suburbs shows where sensitive bird species won't go
Nearly 30 years ago, a simple question sent University of Washington researchers into the Puget Sound lowlands to look for birds.
New contactless method reveals how mirror-image materials respond differently to light
New research introduces a contactless way to see how mirror-image materials respond differently to circularly polarized light, without first building them into a complete electronic device. The researchers developed a novel method based on light-induced charge separation that all
Researchers create early warning system to monitor housing evictions
Human service organizations play an important role in connecting people to housing, health care, food access and other essential services.
Fungal chitin offers new route to tougher hydrogels for medical devices and soft robots
Researchers at the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and the University of Tennessee (UT), Knoxville, have made an advance by using a natural substance from fungi called chitin to create hydrogels that are significantly stronger and tougher. This n
Marine heat waves pose hidden threat to human health, researchers warn
The devastating impacts of marine heat waves extend far beyond dying coral reefs and declining fisheries, with new research warning that these extreme ocean-warming events pose a growing threat to human physical and mental health.
Late Paleozoic Ice Age warming event hints at potential climate 'tipping point'
Researchers say a spike in temperatures during an ice age 304 million years ago could inform what climate scientists are learning about rapidly changing conditions today. Destaque: 304 mi.
Youth mental health program saves nearly $10 for every dollar invested
An innovative youth mental health service model can improve care and ease pressure on Canada's health care system, a new study led by researchers at McGill University demonstrates. Destaque: $10.
Sleep could help identify people at risk of developing Alzheimer's disease at an earlier s
What if certain signs of the disease were to manifest subtly during sleep, long before the first memory problems appear? This is the line of inquiry being explored by a team of researchers at ULiège.
Differences in immune cells predict skin cancer treatment outcomes
In a first-of-its-kind study by King's College London, researchers have linked changes in two major types of immune cells in blood to different survival outcomes for patients with melanoma.
MRI model reveals microstructural brain changes linked to Huntington's disease
Researchers have shown that an imaging model can detect microstructural abnormalities in the brain associated with Huntington's disease, potentially offering a new method for monitoring disease progression and evaluating new treatments.
