Newswise — Cuando dos materiales hacen contacto, las cargas en sus superficies reciben un pequeño empujón. Así es como el frotamiento de un globo sobre la piel genera electricidad estática. Del mismo modo, el agua que fluye sobre algunas superficies puede ganar o perder carga. Ahora, investigadores que publican un artículo en ACS Central Science…
EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE UNTIL 4:00 P.M. ET, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2, 2025 Newswise — MINNEAPOLIS — Cervical artery dissection is a tear in an artery in the neck that provides blood flow to the brain. Such a tear can result in blood clots that cause stroke. A new study has found almost a five-fold increase in…
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,…
Newswise — SAN DIEGO, 25 de marzo de 2025 — El plástico está en todas partes. Y muchos productos que usamos en la vida diaria, como tablas de cortar, prendas de vestir y esponjas de limpieza, pueden exponer a las personas a partículas diminutas de plástico, llamadas microplásticos, que miden micrómetros de ancho. Ahora, la…
Newswise — High-grade glioma, an aggressive form of pediatric and adult brain cancer, is challenging to treat given the tumor location, incidence of recurrence and difficulty for drugs to cross the blood-brain barrier. Researchers from the University of Michigan, Dana Farber Cancer Institute and the Medical University of Vienna established a collaborative team to uncover…
Newswise — Barcelona, 25 February 2025 – Myeloid leukaemias are among the most aggressive blood cancers and have low survival rates. Today, leukaemia patients undergo genetic analysis to identify mutations and select the most appropriate treatment. However, even among patients with the same mutation, disease progression and response to therapy can vary significantly. A study…
EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE UNTIL 4:00 P.M. ET, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 2025 Newswise — MINNEAPOLIS — ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, can sometimes be difficult to diagnose or to predict how quickly the disease is likely to progress. A new study helps determine which blood tests are best at identifying and monitoring ALS. The study is…
Newswise — Paxlovid does not significantly reduce COVID-19 hospitalization and mortality among vaccinated older adults, according to new UCLA-led research. The study questions the assumption that Paxlovid’s effectiveness in reducing COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths in unvaccinated adults also applies to vaccinated adults. Pfizer’s 2022 clinical trial found reduced COVID-19 hospitalization in unvaccinated middle-aged adults; while…
Newswise — Researchers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have finally solved the mystery of how a massive galaxy cluster is forming stars at such a high rate. The confirmation from Webb builds on more than a decade of studies using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and Hubble Space Telescope, as well as several ground-based observatories. …
