New method developed to isolate HIV particles
Researchers at Leipzig University and Ulm University have developed a new method to isolate HIV from samples more easily, potentially making it easier to detect infection with the virus. They focus on peptide nanofibrils (PNFs) on magnetic microparticles, a promising tool and hybrid material for targeted binding and separation of viral particles. They have published their new findings in the journal Advanced Functional Materials.
’Exhausted’ immune cells in healthy women could be target for breast cancer prevention
Researchers at the University of Cambridge have created the world's largest catalogue of human breast cells, which has revealed early cell changes in
Neuronal circuit for reduced feeding at high temperatures decoded
When temperatures rise, appetite decreases: this can be observed after a winter sauna visit as well as on a midsummer day outdoors. There is scientific evidence that feeding is reduced when we are acutely exposed to heat.
Patients with delirium more likely to develop dementia
University of Queensland researchers have found older patients who experience delirium are three times more likely to develop dementia.
Results for: Schulich researchers develop new ways to make stronger metals
Materials engineers have spent decades trying to make stronger metals by making their constituent crystals - their grains - smaller. And we mean small: to the nanoscale.
Rural residents feel less lonely than their urban neighbours
People living in rural communities in Scotland are less likely to experience loneliness and poor wellbeing than those living in urban areas, according to new research from the University of Glasgow.
Cell research: New lysosomal dipeptide transporter described
In a recently published research paper, led by Marko Roblek from MedUni Vienna's Center for Physiology and Pharmacology, the function of a specific protein (SLC MFSD1) as a dipeptide transporter has been described for the first time.
Sugarcane genetics more complex than human
Researchers have unravelled the mystery of sugarcane genetics, finding the crop's genome is three times the size of the human genome and more complex. After a decade of research, scientists from The University of Queensland, Australia's national science agency CSIRO and Sugar Research Australia (SRA) have been able to fully map the sugarcane genome for the first time.
Almost one-in-five suffering from long COVID
A study of more than 11,000 Australians who tested positive to COVID-19 in 2022 has revealed almost one-in-five were still experiencing ongoing sym
3D images reveal link between crack complexity and material toughness
By capturing a rare glimpse into three-dimensional crack formation in brittle solids, researchers have found that complex cracks require more energy to advance than simple ones; a discovery that could improve materials testing and development.
Is it the school, or the students?
Study shows perceptions of "good" schools are heavily dependent on the preparation of the students entering them.
