Systems approach helps assess public health impacts of changing climate, environmental policies — ScienceDaily
A team co-led by a Washington State University scientist offers an alternative way to understand and minimize health impacts from human-caused changes to the climate and environment in a new…
Novel small molecule potently attenuates neuroinflammation in brain and glial cells — ScienceDaily
Neuroinflammation can worsen outcomes in stroke, traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injury, as well as accelerate neurodegenerative diseases like ALS, Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s. This suggests that limiting neuroinflammation may…
Right Light on the Mother’s Belly May Be Important to Fetal Brain Development
There may be a link between exposure to light during pregnancy and fetal brain development. New findings by researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, working in collaboration with American colleagues, may…
New study shows that machine learning can help identify cell shapes associated with complex cell behaviors — ScienceDaily
Sperm cells are among the most diverse cells in the animal world, despite having the same purpose — to find and fertilize an egg. The sperm of some species have…
Machine learning algorithms are shedding light on neoantigen T cell-receptor pairs — ScienceDaily
Researchers and data scientists at UT Southwestern Medical Center and MD Anderson Cancer Center have developed an artificial intelligence technique that can identify which cell surface peptides produced by cancer…
Polynesian Genetic Ancestry Linked to Obesity, Heart Failure and Diabetes in Native Hawaiians
Both genetic and lifestyle factors likely contribute to disease risks. A new genetic study of Native Hawaiians by Charleston Chiang at the University of Southern California and colleagues finds that…
Mapping words to colors — ScienceDaily
No language has words for all the blues of a wind-churned sea or the greens and golds of a wildflower meadow in late summer. Globally, different languages have divvied up…
Decoding birds’ brain signals into syllables of song — ScienceDaily
Researchers can predict what syllables a bird will sing—and when it will sing them—by reading electrical signals in its brain, reports a new study from the University of California San…
Vampire Bats May Coordinate With “Friends” Over a Bite To Eat
Study tracks foraging behavior of 50 bats in the wild. Vampire bats that form bonds in captivity and continue those “friendships” in the wild also hunt together, meeting up over a meal…
