Credit: Depositphotos For many years, numerous essential proteins crucial for treating diverse illnesses have proven challenging to administer through oral drug therapy. Conventional small molecules often face difficulties in binding to proteins with flat surfaces or necessitate specificity for specific protein homologs. Larger biologics, which can target these proteins, usually require injection, restricting patient convenience...
The provinces of North Holland and North Brabant in the Netherlands are each looking to cycle paths as a way to generate renewable energyWattway by Colas The Dutch have a strong affinity for cycling, with over 35,000 km (21,747 miles) of cycle paths weaving through the Netherlands. Two of these bike routes have been enhanced...
Credit: Pixaobay Delicate probes, as thin as wires, inserted into the brains of living individuals reveal the functions performed by individual neurons. An unparalleled degree of insight into how humans comprehend speech has been made possible by recordings from hundreds of individual neurons while patients undergoing brain surgery listened to this and 199 other sentences. The...
Among other things, the new antenna could allow connected vehicles to be significantly more aerodynamic LG In the current era of internet- and cellular-connected vehicles, the demand for antennas is higher than ever. However, incorporating these devices into the body of vehicles imposes limitations on design possibilities. LG aims to revolutionize this with a transparent antenna...
Researchers have been able to accurately diagnose autism in children using AI to screen retinal photographsDepositphotos Scientists captured images of children's retinas and employed a deep learning AI algorithm for autism diagnosis, achieving a perfect 100% accuracy. These results endorse the use of AI as an unbiased screening tool for early detection, particularly in cases...
While complex, increased risk of suicidal ideation could come down to blood compounds Depositphotos In a discovery with potential implications for personalized medicine and therapy, scientists have identified blood compounds associated with thoughts of suicide. Researchers from the University of California (UC) San Diego have discovered biomarkers associated with mitochondrial dysfunction, disrupting intercellular communication and potentially contributing...
Researchers have designed an LED with two wavelengths to reduce disruptions to the body clock caused by exposure to artificial lightDepositphotos Scientists have created and assessed 'human-centric' LEDs, which emit varying wavelengths of blue light based on the time of day, aiming to minimize the disruptive impact of artificial light on our circadian rhythm. They...
Research shows there's a neurobiological reason why you wake up tired after going to bed stressedCredit: Pixaobay We are familiar with the idea that stress can interfere with a good night's sleep, but it's not just racing thoughts; scientists have now identified how stress activates brain cells at inappropriate times during sleep stages, leading to...
