| Stem cell transplantation: undesirable rejection mechanism identified (2020-11-19) | In the treatment of leukaemia stem cell transplantation subsequent to chemotherapy and radiation can often engender severe adverse inflammatory reactions - especially in the skin or in the gut since these so-called barrier organs are more frequently affected Up until now the reason for this was unclear A team of researchers in Vienna has now identified an immune mechanism that is partially respons.. |
| Wind farm and sleep disruption (2020-12-03) | As wind power generation becomes more important experts in Australia are examining whether wind farm turbine background noise in the environmental can affect sleep and wellbeing of nearby residents While five previous studies showed no systemic effects on common sleep markers such as time taken to fall asleep and total sleep time - they did reveal some more subtle effect on sleep such as shifts in.. |
| Eye exam could lead to early Parkinson’s disease diagnosis (2020-11-23) | A simple eye exam combined with powerful artificial intelligence AI machine learning technology could provide early detection of Parkinsons disease according to research being presented at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America RSNA |
| Alzheimer disease, related dementias and risk of financial errors (2020-11-30) | Researchers linked administrative health care and demographic data from Medicare to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York/Equifax Consumer Credit Panel to characterize the financial presentation of Alzheimer disease and related dementias before and after diagnosis |
| Cytokine storms play a limited role in moderate-to-severe COVID-19 (2020-11-13) | St Jude and Washington University researchers have discovered new characteristics that differentiate the response of COVID-19 from flu |
| Dogmatic people seek less information even when uncertain (2020-11-20) | People who are dogmatic about their views seek less information and make less accurate judgements as a result even on simple matters unrelated to politics according to a study led by UCL and Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics researchers |
| Measles outbreaks likely in wake of COVID-19 pandemic (2020-11-16) | Major measles outbreaks will likely occur during 2021 as an unexpected consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic according to a new academic article |
| Study reveals true origin of oldest evidence of animals (2020-11-23) | Two teams of scientists have resolved a longstanding controversy surrounding the origins of complex life on EarthThe joint studies found molecular fossils extracted from 635-million-year-old rocks arent the earliest evidence of animals but instead common algae |
| RUDN University mathematician suggested new approach to cooperative game (2020-12-01) | A mathematician from RUDN University developed a matrix representation of set functions This approach is vivid and easy to check and it makes the calculations easier Among other things the new development can be applied to cooperative game theory |
| Biologists create “atlas” of gene expression in neurons, documenting diversity of brain cells (2020-11-04) | New York University researchers have created a developmental atlas of gene expression in neurons using gene sequencing and machine learning to categorize more than 250000 neurons in the brains of fruit flies Their study published in Nature finds that neurons exhibit the most molecular diversity during development and reveals a previously unknown type of neurons only present before flies hatch |
