Researchers identify potential treatment for Angelman syndrome

Science Daily - 08/07/2024
Researchers have identified a small molecule that could lead to a safe and effective treatment for the neurodevelopmental condition known as Angelman syndrome.

Weaker ocean circulation could enhance carbon dioxide buildup in the atmosphere, study finds

Science Daily - 08/07/2024
Scientists may have to rethink the relationship between the ocean's circulation and its long-term capacity to store carbon, new research suggests. As the ocean gets weaker, it could release more carbon from the deep ocean into the atmosphere -- rather than less, as some have predicted.

Brain size riddle solved as humans exceed evolution trend

Science Daily - 08/07/2024
The largest animals do not have proportionally bigger brains -- with humans bucking this trend -- a new study has revealed.

GeneMAP discovery platform will help define functions for 'orphan' metabolic proteins

Science Daily - 08/07/2024
Researchers have developed a discovery platform to probe the function of genes involved in metabolism -- the sum of all life-sustaining chemical reactions. The investigators used the new platform, called GeneMAP (Gene-Metabolite Association Prediction), to identify a gene necessary for mitochondrial choline transport.

How to stop cancer cachexia? Start at the top

Science Daily - 08/07/2024
Researchers have discovered a new potential drug target for the lethal wasting disease known as cancer cachexia. Their findings illustrate that even small groups of neurons in the brain can have an outsized impact on the body's cancer response.

Pulsed field ablation procedures found safe and effective for atrial fibrillation patients

Science Daily - 08/07/2024
Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is safe for treating patients with common types of atrial fibrillation (AF), according to a new study.

Why some abusive bosses get a pass from their employees

Science Daily - 08/07/2024
Why do employees sometimes accept working for an abusive boss? A new study suggests that when a leader is seen as a high performer, employees are more likely to label abuse as just 'tough love.'
