Cells protect themselves better than expected - new discovery reveals surprising defence strategy
An international research team led by scientists from SickKids Hospital in Toronto, the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, Dalhousie University, the University of Exeter (UK) and the Medical University of Vienna has uncovered a previously unknown protective strategy of cells. The study, published in the top journal Science, shows how two cell compartments - mitochondria and peroxisomes - work directly together to defend themselves against so-called "oxidative stress factors".

Over 400 different types of nerve cell have been grown - far more than ever before
For the first time, researchers at ETH Zurich have successfully produced hundreds of different types of nerve cell from human stem cells in Petri dishes. In the future, it will thus be possible to investigate neurological disorders using cell cultures instead of animal testing. Nerve cells are not just nerve cells.

Where did Stone Age hunter-gatherers get the raw material for their tools?
Where did Stone Age hunter-gatherers get the raw material for their tools?
A new study has shown that as early as the Stone Age, people in Africa traveled long distances to procure colorful stone, forming the raw material for the manufacture of tools. The study was led by Gregor D. Bader from the Department of Early Prehistory and Quaternary Ecology and the Senckenberg Centre for Human Evolution and Palaeoenvironment at the University of.

What a folding ruler can tell us about neural networks
Researchers at the University of Basel have developed mechanical models that can predict how effectively the different layers of a deep neural network transform data. Their results improve our understanding of these complex systems and suggest better strategies for training neural networks. Deep neural networks are at the heart of artificial intelligence, ranging from pattern recognition to large language and reasoning models like ChatGPT.

Adding Up Feynman Diagrams to Make Predictions about Real Materials
Caltech scientists have found a fast and efficient way to add up large numbers of Feynman diagrams, the simple drawings physicists use to represent particle interactions. The new method has already enabled the researchers to solve a longstanding problem in the materials science and physics worlds known as the polaron problem, giving scientists and engineers a way to predict how electrons will flow in certain materials, both conventional and quantum.

Keep­ing the pho­ton in the dark
A research team led by Gregor Weihs has developed a method for the deliberate control of dark excitons in quantum dots. Using chirped laser pulses and a magnetic field, the physicists succeeded in controlling these optically inactive quasiparticles and harnessing their unique properties for the storage and processing of quantum states.

Oxytocin improves contact between mothers with postpartum depression and their child
Researchers at Radboud University and the Radboudumc found that mothers with postpartum depression benefit from oxytocin nasal spray. The oxytocin causes mothers to respond more positively to their newborn child. 'Although extra oxytocin does not affect mothers' caregiving behavior and stress levels, it does contribute to better contact between mother and child.' Mothers with postpartum depression or a lighter form of it often feel sad, tired or anxious after the birth of their child.

Map of how body responds to extreme conditions could help to spot early signs of illness
How major organs work together to manage extreme physiological stresses such as lack of oxygen and sleep has been mapped for the first time by researchers from UCL and the University of Portsmouth. The study, published in the Journal of Physiology , aimed to find out what happens inside the body when people are tired, out of breath, or oxygen-deprived, by mapping how different parts of the body communicate during stress, potentially paving the way for earlier illness diagnosis.

Hidden benefits of weight loss on fat tissue 
Scientists have produced the first detailed characterisation of the changes that weight loss causes in human fat tissue By analysing hundreds of thousands of cells, the team found a range of positive effects, including clearing out of damaged, ageing cells, and increased metabolism of harmful fats. The researchers say the findings help to better understand how weight loss leads to health improvements at a molecular level, which in the future could help to inform the development of therapies for diseases such as type 2 diabetes.

Large-scale DNA study maps 37,000 years of human disease history
Researchers have mapped the spread of infectious diseases in humans across millennia, to reveal how human-animal interactions permanently transformed our health today. We've long suspected that the transition to farming and animal husbandry opened the door to a new era of disease - now DNA shows us that it happened at least 6,500 years ago Eske Willerslev A new study suggests that our ancestors' close cohabitation with domesticated animals and large-scale migrations played a key role in the spread of infectious diseases.
