Woodrats are basically desert superheroes, able to eat toxic plants and survive rattlesnake bites. But researchers from the University of Utah and University of Michigan have found their venom resistance drops when it鈥檚 cold.
Under Yellowstone lies a magma-filled formation that drives the national park鈥檚 famous geysers and other hydrothermal features. New research conducted by University of Utah geoscientists has located the top of the chamber 3.8 kilometers below Earth鈥檚 surface and characterized the upper reservoir鈥檚 structure, offering fresh insights into the risk of future eruptions.
People with medical debt in 2023 were about five times more likely to forgo mental health care treatment in the following year due to cost, compared to those without medical debt, according to a study led by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
Researchers with The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center 鈥 Arthur G. James and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC-James) have found that targeting an enzyme called PGM3 can help stop the growth of glioblastoma, the most dangerous type of brain tumor.
Researchers have developed an AI-driven machine learning model that can predict post-concussion injury risk in athletes with 95% accuracy, analyzing more than 100 variables. The machine's algorithm has potential beyond sports, including the ability to predict fall risk in patients with Parkinson鈥檚 disease.
A first-of-its-kind research expedition to Latham Island has unveiled one of Tanzania鈥檚 most ecologically significant marine ecosystems, with thriving seabird colonies, critically endangered sharks, and climate-resilient coral reefs.
A stress-response protein, CDKN1A, may serve as a biomarker or therapeutic target for MASLD, new research in The FASEB Journal shows. Its expression correlated with disease severity across patient datasets and animal models.
Breanna Hollie, LCSW, a care coordinator for TASC (Treatment Alternatives for Safe Communities, Inc.), closely follows the young people she refers for services through the Juvenile Justice Collaborative.
An international research collaboration led by Rutgers University-New Brunswick scientists that examined microscopic blobs of protein found in human cells has discovered that some morph from an almost honey-like substance to a hard candy-like solid.
These mysterious droplets, known as biomolecular condensates, solidify when they carry a high proportion of the protein alpha-synuclein, the scientists reported in Science Advances. Clumps of alpha-synuclein are commonly found in the brain cells of people with Parkinson鈥檚 disease, a neurodegenerative brain disorder.
At a time of increased gun ownership among women, a new study found just under 4 in 10 women who died by firearm suicide had no documented history of mental or physical health problems, highlighting a need for prevention strategies tailored to at-risk women.
