| Objection: No one can understand what you’re saying Posted: 07 Mar 2022 01:20 PM PST A new study from cognitive scientists offers an answer to why legal documents such as contracts or deeds are often so impenetrable. |
| Lead exposure in last century shrank IQ scores of half of Americans, study finds Posted: 07 Mar 2022 01:20 PM PST Researchers calculate that exposure to car exhaust from leaded gas during childhood stole a collective 824 million IQ points from over 170 million Americans alive today, more than half of the population of the United States. |
| Predicting the progression of rheumatoid arthritis Posted: 07 Mar 2022 10:20 AM PST Researchers evaluated the ability of a polygenic risk score constructed from a genome-wide association study of rheumatoid arthritis susceptibility to predict radiographic progression, which is indicative of structural joint damage in individuals with rheumatoid arthritis. The research team identified an association between the polygenic risk score and radiographic progression, an observation that was pronounced in people with a younger age of onset of rheumatoid arthritis. |
| New modelling framework developed to improve infectious disease control Posted: 07 Mar 2022 08:31 AM PST A new model to analyse infectious disease outbreak data has been developed by mathematicians that could be used to improve disease tracking and control. |
| Common houseplants can improve air quality indoors Posted: 07 Mar 2022 08:31 AM PST Ordinary potted house plants can potentially make a significant contribution to reducing air pollution in homes and offices, according to new research. |
| Novel acute myeloid leukemia subtypes identified Posted: 07 Mar 2022 08:31 AM PST Researchers have discovered the first proteomic subtype of an aggressive blood cancer by using mass spectrometry technology. |
| Promising approach against treatment-resistant cancer Posted: 07 Mar 2022 08:31 AM PST A research team has devised a novel and highly promising strategy for overcoming a key cause of cancer deaths: the ability of cancer cells to thrive in the face of chemotherapy drugs designed to destroy them. |
| How stress hormones guide bacteria in their host Posted: 07 Mar 2022 08:30 AM PST A newly discovered protein helps bacteria recognize stress hormones in the human body and direct their motion in the host. |
| Neurobiology: Our minds distinguish between various social influences Posted: 07 Mar 2022 08:30 AM PST Researchers show what happens in the human brain when we try to influence other people or when we ourselves are influenced by others. |
| Field-based patient trial for cell-free Zika testing delivers highly accurate results Posted: 07 Mar 2022 08:30 AM PST Researchers have led one of the first field trials for a synthetic biology-based diagnostic using patient samples. This work, conducted on-site in Latin America, reveals the potential for cell-free synthetic biology tools and companion hardware for providing rapid, de-centralized, and low-cost patient testing for infectious diseases like the Zika virus. |
| Optimism may promote emotional well-being by limiting how often one experiences stressful situations Posted: 07 Mar 2022 05:23 AM PST 'Don't worry, be happy,' is more than just song lyrics. A growing body of evidence supports an association between optimism and healthy aging, but it is unclear how optimism impacts health. When it comes to dealing with day-to-day stressors, such as household chores or arguments with others, a new study has found that being more or less optimistic did not make a difference in how older men emotionally reacted to or recovered from these stressors. However, optimism appeared to promote emotional well-being by limiting how often older men experience stressful situations or changing the way they interpret situations as stressful. |
| Closer look helps experts ponder when a protein’s prone to wander Posted: 07 Mar 2022 05:23 AM PST Using sophisticated microscopy techniques, researchers show why proteins stick better to some surfaces than others. The details could be important to manufacturers fine-tuning drug purifications, biosensors or anti-fouling surfaces. |
