Warming of Antarctic deep-sea waters contribute to sea level rise in North Atlantic, study finds

Science Daily - 19/04/2024
Analysis of mooring observations and hydrographic data suggest the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation deep water limb in the North Atlantic has weakened. Two decades of continual observations provide a greater understanding of the Earth's climate regulating system.

Study opens new avenue for immunotherapy drug development

Science Daily - 19/04/2024
Researchers have designed a new method for developing immunotherapy drugs using engineered peptides to elicit a natural immune response inside the body.

Energy scientists unravel the mystery of gold's glow

Science Daily - 19/04/2024
EPFL researchers have developed the first comprehensive model of the quantum-mechanical effects behind photoluminescence in thin gold films; a discovery that could drive the development of solar fuels and batteries.

Scientists trigger mini-earthquakes in the lab

Science Daily - 19/04/2024
Earthquakes and landslides are famously difficult to predict and prepare for. By studying a miniature version of the ground in the lab, scientists have demonstrated how these events can be triggered by a small external shock wave. Bring a flotation device: it involves the ground briefly turning into a liquid!

Analyzing the progression in retinal thickness could predict cognitive progression in Parkinson's patients

Science Daily - 19/04/2024
Although there are still some aspects pending confirmation for its use in the clinical setting, and its resolution needs to be improved slightly, a study has shown that a method routinely used to carry out ophthalmological tests can also be used to monitor the neurodegeneration that occurs in Parkinson's patients. In the course of the research it was found that the neurodegeneration of the retina probably precedes cognitive impairment.

Why can zebrafish regenerate damaged heart tissue, while other fish species cannot?

Science Daily - 19/04/2024
A heart attack will leave a permanent scar on a human heart, yet other animals, including zebrafish, can clear cardiac scar tissue and regrow damaged muscle as adults. Biologists sheds new light on how zebrafish heal heart tissue by comparing how this species responds to heart injury with medaka, a fish species that cannot regenerate cardiac tissue.
