Photos // Video Newswise — Desalination plants, a major and growing source of freshwater in dry regions, could produce less harmful waste using electricity and new membranes made at the University of Michigan.The membranes could help desalination plants minimize or eliminate brine waste produced as a byproduct of turning seawater into drinking water. Today, liquid…
Newswise — BALTIMORE, April 15, 2025: With the advent of artificial intelligence (AI), predictive medicine is becoming an important part of healthcare, especially in cancer treatment. Predictive medicine uses algorithms and data to help doctors understand how a cancer might continue to grow or react to specific drugs—making it easier to target precision treatment for…
Newswise — (MEMPHIS, Tenn. – April 10, 2025) Cytochrome P450 (CYP) proteins are responsible for breaking down more than 80% of all Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved drugs, reducing their effectiveness. However, how to prevent CYPs from doing this without off-target effects has puzzled researchers until now. Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital…
Newswise — PHILADELPHIA — (April 14, 2025) —The Wistar Institute’s Joseph Salvino, Ph.D., — in collaboration with Elton Zeqiraj, Ph.D., of The University of Leeds and Roger Greenberg, M.D., Ph.D., of The Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania — has discovered a type of “molecular glue” that can be used to inhibit…
Newswise — Treatment for chronic pain still relies heavily on opioids. While effective, they are highly addictive and potentially deadly if misused. In the quest to develop a safe, effective alternative to opioids, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and Stanford University have developed a compound that mimics a natural molecule found…
BYLINE: Shawn Ballard Newswise — Imagine a world where industrial waste isn’t just reduced, it’s turned into something useful. This kind of circular economy is already in the works for carbon. Now, researchers in energy, environmental & chemical engineering at Washington University in St. Louis have developed a promising pathway to convert harmful nitric oxide,…
April 15, 2025 | Deborah Kotz Newswise — About one in five American adults have osteoarthritis, the most common form of arthritis, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. No treatment, however, exists to target the causes of the disease or to reverse or halt the damage the disease does to joints. Medications currently on the…
The human brain is so complex that scientific brains have a hard time making sense of it. A piece of neural tissue the size of a grain of sand might be packed with hundreds of thousands of cells linked together by miles of wiring. In 1979, Francis Crick, the Nobel-prize-winning scientist, concluded that the anatomy…
The Science Newswise — Unlike the vast majority of elements, the rare earth element promethium has no stable isotopes, which means that it is constantly decaying, making it difficult to study. In this research, scientists created a pure sample of the isotope promethium-147. They bonded it with a molecule to form a stable complex in water. Next,…
Newswise — Affecting one in 500 people, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a condition in which the walls of the left ventricle, the heart’s main pumping chamber, become abnormally thick. “HCM is one of the primary causes of sudden death among young, apparently healthy patients; it is also a frequent cause of heart failure requiring surgery or…
