A low calorie diet and high intensity exercise can reduce nerve damage in prediabetic mice, according to a Michigan Medicine study. Researchers say findings reinforce the potential of lifestyle factors to treat peripheral neuropathy, a prevalent and painful complication of obesity, prediabetes and type 2 diabetes.
Researchers tested new nanoink and printing technologies on the "roller coaster" of NASA microgravity flights. They demonstrated that electronic circuits can be printed in zero gravity -- potentially leading to electronic repairs or manufacturing in space.
Kettlebell training may help reduce inflammation and increase muscle strength as we age, even in people who have not been physically active in the past. The findings from a new study will be presented at the 2024 Integrative Physiology of Exercise conference, Nov. 20–22, in State College, Pennsylvania.
Soaking in a hot tub may be preferable to an icy cold bath after exercise if the goal is to maintain optimum performance, according to a new study. This is especially true for those competing in back-to-back races in a short time span. The research will be presented at the 2024 Integrative Physiology of Exercise conference, Nov. 20–22, in State College, Pennsylvania.
Females may begin to recover twice as fast as males when it comes to muscle injuries, according to a new study in mice. The findings support the idea of forming individualized treatment plans based on a person’s biological sex. The research will be presented at the 2024 Integrative Physiology of Exercise conference, Nov. 20–22, in State College, Pennsylvania.
In a polarized nation, there is one thing that nearly all Americans agree on, according to a recent study: Sports are good for us. Researchers found that more than 9 out of 10 Americans agreed that sports build character and improved one’s health, while 84% agreed playing sports makes one popular in school and 85% said it makes one more well-known in the community.
In a groundbreaking new study, conducted within the framework of the FWF-funded Cluster of Excellence "Microbiomes drive Planetary Health", scientists from the University of Vienna, in collaboration with the University of Southampton, Aalborg University and Boston University, have revealed that the widely prescribed Parkinson's disease drug entacapone significantly disrupts the human gut microbiome by inducing iron deficiency. The study, published in Nature Microbiology, provides new insights into the often-overlooked impact of human-targeted drugs on the microbial communities that play a critical role in human health.
Chronic pain patients using spinal cord stimulators experienced pain relief, improvement in disability and sleep, and reduction in opioid use with fast-acting subperception therapy (FAST). The positive findings continued over a 12-month period.
We are thrilled to announce that five of our journals include Fruit Research, Vegetable Research, Ornamental Plant Research, Grass Research and Forestry Research have been officially indexed in the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) of Web of Science. This achievement marks a significant milestone in our ongoing efforts to elevate the global visibility and academic impact of our journals.
Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT) developed a smart monitoring system that applies digital sensing technology to maintain and manage small- and medium-sized aging bridges.
Morning glory plants that can resist the effects of glyphosate also resist damage from herbivorous insects, according to a University of Michigan study.
Dr. Hyang-Tag Lim's research team at the KIST has implemented a quantum computing algorithm that can estimate interatomic bond distances and ground state energies with chemical accuracy using fewer resources than conventional methods, and has succeeded in performing accurate calculations without the need for additional quantum error mitigation techniques.
Dozens of physician-scientists will share research insights at ASH 2024, a breast-cancer survivor chronicles her journey, researchers seek answers for gastric cancer disparities, and taking major steps to reduce lung cancer’s lethal burden are in this month tip sheet from Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Algorithms that can detect subtle changes in a person’s voice are emerging as a potential new diagnostic tool for Parkinson’s disease, according to researchers from Iraq and Australia.
In 1974, the independent discovery of the J/psi particle at SLAC and Brookhaven National Laboratory rocked the physics world, and entire textbooks had to be rewritten. Earlier this month, SLAC hosted a symposium to celebrate the milestone.
Trust between humans and robots is improved when the movement between both is harmonised, researchers have discovered.
The University Psychedelic Education Program (U-PEP) is now LIVE. This program, funded through philanthropic support, aims to broaden access to education about the therapeutic potential of psychedelic medicines. U-PEP achieves this by equipping university faculty, particularly in nursing and social work, with the essential knowledge and resources they need to develop and integrate evidence-based, culturally responsive psychedelic content into their curriculum.
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center today was awarded nearly $8 million from the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) in support of faculty recruitment as well as lung and colorectal cancer screening and early detection programs to address cancer incidence rates across Texas.
Small modular reactors could play key role in rebuilding a clean economy in post-war Ukraine. Argonne scientists will assess the emerging technology in new research.
University of Washington researchers developed a system for detecting subtle biases in AI models. They found seven of the eight popular AI models they tested in conversations around race and caste generated significant amounts of biased text in interactions — particularly when discussing caste. Open-source models fared far worse than two proprietary ChatGPT models.
