| Mindfulness meditation reduces pain by separating it from the self Posted: 08 Jul 2022 01:27 PM PDT Mindfulness meditation is effective in reducing pain relief; a new study reveals the underlying neural circuitry. |
| Posted: 08 Jul 2022 01:27 PM PDT A new universal flu vaccine protects against influenza B viruses, offering broad defense against different strains and improved immune protection, according to a new study. |
| Swans sacrifice rest to squabble Posted: 08 Jul 2022 11:15 AM PDT Swans give up resting time to fight over the best feeding spots, new research shows. |
| Posted: 08 Jul 2022 11:15 AM PDT From pandemics to nuclear energy -- the world is full of risks. Psychologists have developed a new method of determining how risk is perceived within a society. |
| Whole exome sequencing predicts whether patients respond to cancer immunotherapy Posted: 08 Jul 2022 09:36 AM PDT Immunotherapies, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors, have transformed the treatment of advanced stage cancers. Unlike chemotherapies that kill cancer cells, these drugs help the body's immune system to find and destroy cancer cells themselves. Unfortunately, only a subset of patients responds long-term to immune checkpoint inhibitors -- and these treatments can come at a high cost and with side effects. Researchers have developed a two-step approach using whole exome sequencing to zero in on genes and pathways that predict whether cancer patients will respond to immunotherapy. The study, published in Nature Communications and conducted by researchers at New York University, Weill Cornell Medicine, and the New York Genome Center, illustrates how the use of whole exome sequencing can better predict treatment response than current laboratory tests. |
| A 'wise counsel' for synthetic biology Posted: 08 Jul 2022 09:36 AM PDT Researchers develop user-friendly software system to optimize biological systems. |
| Electric vehicles pass the remote road test Posted: 08 Jul 2022 09:36 AM PDT A new study, which demonstrates that even the most rural areas of Australia are feasible for electric vehicles, provides new hope for how the technology could be spread around the most secluded locations in other parts of the world. The study found the vast majority of residents, or 93 per cent, could travel to essential services with even the lower-range of electric vehicles currently available on the Australian market, without needing to recharge en route. |
| Immune system uses two-step verification to defend against HIV Posted: 08 Jul 2022 09:36 AM PDT A discovery could offer new methods for treating HIV, while uncovering the innate immune system's role in other diseases. |
| Major step forward in fabricating an artificial heart, fit for a human Posted: 08 Jul 2022 09:36 AM PDT Bioengineers have developed the first biohybrid model of human ventricles with helically aligned beating cardiac cells, and have shown that muscle alignment does, in fact, dramatically increases how much blood the ventricle can pump with each contraction. |
| Brain ripples may help bind information across the human cortex Posted: 08 Jul 2022 09:36 AM PDT Researchers provide some of the first empirical evidence that brain ripples exist. These electrical waves have long been hypothesized as a way for the brain to integrate and encode memories. |
| Surfaces at realistic conditions Posted: 08 Jul 2022 09:36 AM PDT Researchers have been engaged in describing how surfaces change in contact with reactive gas phases under different temperature and pressure conditions. |
| Hidden in plain sight: Seven showy tropical forest ferns described as new to science Posted: 08 Jul 2022 06:57 AM PDT Researchers have described seven new fern species from the rainforests of tropical America. Many of the species were uncovered as the by-product of ecological research: the species diversity in tropical forests is still so poorly known that field trips and herbarium work keep discovering previously unknown species. |
| Narwhals show physiological disruption in response to seismic survey ship noise Posted: 08 Jul 2022 06:56 AM PDT The reaction of narwhals to the loud noise from seismic air guns used in oil exploration involves a disruption of the normal physiological response to intense exercise as the animals try to escape the noise. The overall effect is a large increase in the energetic cost of diving while a paradoxically reduced heart rate alters the circulation of blood and oxygen. |
| New research finds deep-sea mining noise pollution will stretch hundreds of miles Posted: 07 Jul 2022 11:21 AM PDT New research examines the potential for underwater noise pollution from seabed mining operations, which could affect the understudied species that live in the deep sea -- the largest habitat on Earth. |
| Opioid prescriptions significantly higher for patients with lifelong disabilities, study finds Posted: 07 Jul 2022 07:09 AM PDT People with two pediatric-onset neurodevelopmental disorders are prescribed opioids at a rate up to five times higher than those who do not have those conditions, a new study finds. Researchers say the findings raise concerns over addiction, overdose and mental health issues. |
