The treatments rescued damaged blood and immune cells in newborn mice with just one shot. The post New Gene Therapy Reverses Three Diseases With Shots to the Bloodstream appeared first on SingularityHub.

A new study reveals that caffeine increases the complexity of brain activity during sleep, especially in younger adults, potentially disrupting the brain's ability to recover overnight. Researchers used EEG and AI to ana...

A newly developed lab-designed molecule, JM2, may offer a promising therapy to combat glioblastoma recurrence by targeting the tumor's most resilient cells. Researchers discovered that glioblastoma stem cells rely on the...

A new study suggests that SSRIs, commonly prescribed antidepressants, may reduce biological markers of Alzheimer's disease. In a cohort of 191 individuals, AD patients on SSRIs had lower levels of plasma phosphorylated t...

A new study has uncovered the brain circuits responsible for individual differences in how animals adapt to repeated visual threats. Using advanced neural recording and manipulation tools, researchers identified two dist...

New research reveals complex relationships between blood lipid levels and the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, the most common form of dementia. While small dense LDL cholesterol--linked to heart disease--was asso...

A new study finds that racial inequality and police violence may significantly contribute to higher rates of psychotic episodes in low-income young adults of color. While individual factors like trauma and drug use have ...

A British metal detectorist discovered a gold band with an engraved date-of-death in Norfolk.

New research reveals that men who carry two copies of a common genetic variant in the HFE gene are more than twice as likely to develop dementia, while women with the same variant are not affected. The variant, known as ...

Organic light emitting diodes, or OLEDs, are a type of photoluminescence device that utilizes organic compounds to produce light. Compared to traditional LEDs, OLEDs have shown to be more efficient, can be built into sup...

An artificial intelligence safety firm has found that OpenAI's o3 and o4-mini models sometimes refuse to shut down, and will sabotage computer scripts in order to keep working on tasks.

The site's architecture may indicate the Judaean princess was buried there.

Thousands of satellites with incredibly short lifetimes are being sent up into low Earth orbit. When they fall back down they're fireballs of pollution -- and what doesn't burn up hits the ground.

Invisible radiation leaking out of private satellites, like SpaceX's Starlink spacecraft, is disrupting radio astronomers' ability to detect important signals from across the universe. If left unchecked, we could reach a...

First theorized in 1938, heat's wave-like flow through superfluids, known as "second sound", has proven difficult to directly observe. Now, a new technique has finally done it, and could be used to study neutron stars an...

A NASA-funded plan to build a large radio telescope on the moon's far side is nearing final approval and could become a reality by the 2030s, researchers say. The ambitious project will help safeguard astronomy from sate...

Adolescent anxiety is on the rise globally, and a new Perspective argues that its roots may begin long before birth. Researchers highlight how maternal stress, caregiving quality, and early environmental cues influence t...

Scientists have identified a small, specialized group of neurons in the mouse brain that directly influence eating behavior and weight gain. These PNOC/NPY cells, found in the hypothalamus, increase food intake when acti...

Researchers have developed algorithms that reconstruct a hidden image from the scrambled light waves that bounce off a wall, making it possible to see things behind a corner

The carbon dioxide removal industry is struggling to grow at the pace needed to have a significant role in meeting climate targets

Very soon after the Big Bang, the universe enjoyed a brief phase where quarks and gluons roamed freely, not yet joined up into hadrons such as protons, neutrons and mesons. This state, called a quark-gluon plasma, existe...
