- Computer scientists unveil novel attacks on cybersecurityon April 26, 2024 at 8:52 pm
Researchers have found two novel types of attacks that target the conditional branch predictor found in high-end Intel processors, which could be exploited to compromise billions of processors currently in use.
- Using stem cell-derived heart muscle cells to advance heart regenerative therapyon April 26, 2024 at 3:00 pm
Regenerative heart therapies involve transplanting cardiac muscle cells into damaged areas of the heart to recover lost function. However, the risk of arrhythmias following this procedure is reportedly high. In a recent study, researchers tested a novel approach that involves injecting ‘cardiac spheroids,’ cultured from human stem cells, directly into damaged ventricles. The highly positive outcomes observed in primate models highlight the potential of this strategy.
- Advance in the treatment of acute heart failure identifiedon April 25, 2024 at 8:15 pm
A multicenter study has identified a potential new treatment for acute heart failure, a leading cause of hospitalization and death.
- Early trauma cuts life short for squirrels, and climate change could make matters worseon April 25, 2024 at 8:15 pm
Life can be tough for young red squirrels living in the Canada’s Yukon territory, where frigid winters, food scarcity and predators threaten their long-term survival. Scientists want to know what factors might protect young squirrels, especially as their environment becomes more impacted by climate change.
- RNA modification is responsible for the disruption of mitochondrial protein synthesis in Alzheimer’s diseaseon April 25, 2024 at 8:15 pm
A team of researchers has identified a mechanism that causes mitochondrial dysfunction in Alzheimer’s patients resulting in a reduction of the supply of energy to the brain.
- Climate change could become the main driver of biodiversity decline by mid-centuryon April 25, 2024 at 8:15 pm
Global biodiversity has declined between 2% and 11% during the 20th century due to land-use change alone, according to a large multi-model study. Projections show climate change could become the main driver of biodiversity decline by the mid-21st century.
- Vitamin D alters mouse gut bacteria to give better cancer immunityon April 25, 2024 at 8:15 pm
Researchers have found that vitamin D encourages the growth of a type of gut bacteria in mice which improves immunity to cancer.
