Study: All monogamous mammals are not wired for love in the same way Humans arent the only mammals that form long-term bonds with a single, special mate -- some bats, wolves, beavers, foxes and other animals do, too. But new research suggests the brain circuitry that makes love last in some species may not be the same in others. The study, appearing Feb. 12 in the journal Scientific Reports, compares monogamous and promiscuous species within a closely related group of lemurs, distant primate c...

Researchers investigate which stress tests trigger similar brain activation patterns Scientists use many different tests to investigate what happens in the brain in people experiencing stress. It is unclear to what extent the various methods with which subjects are placed under stress are comparable to each other. In a meta-analysis, a biopsychology team from Ruhr-Universität Bochum compared 31 previous studies that had investigated stress using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Th...

EVAN GOUGH, UNIVERSE TODAY 13 FEBRUARY 2021 Astronomers using a new technique may have not only found a super-Earth at a neighbouring star, but they may also have directly imaged it. And it could be nice and cozy in the habitable zone around Alpha Centauri.   Its much easier to see giant planets than Earth-size planets. No matter which detection method is being used, larger planets are simply a larger needle in the cosmic haystack. But overall, astronomers are very interested in planets that...

Study provides new insights into the mechanism of bone marrow tissue Imagine a day when clinicians treating people with blood diseases such as leukemia or multiple myeloma can send in requests for laboratories to custom-produce specific types of blood cells to replace those affected by the disease. That day became one step closer to reality with a new study led by experts at Cincinnati Childrens that provides powerful new insights into how bone marrow tissue works. The study, published Feb. 10,...

Study elucidates the mode of action of SGLT2 inhibitors in diabetes Although SGLT-2 inhibitors are central to the treatment of diabetes, their exact mode of action was hitherto unknown. In a study conducted by a research group led by Peter Wolf, Martin Krssak and Michael Krebs from MedUni Viennas Department of Medicine III, magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) was used to show that there is a direct correlation between the elimination of glucose via the kidneys and new glucose production in th...

New study to examine the effects of MS disease-modifying therapy on cognitive fatigue Kessler Foundation researchers have received support from Genentech, a member of the Roche Group, to conduct an investigator-initiated study on the effects of ocrelizumab (Ocrevus) on cognitive fatigue in individuals with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS). John DeLuca, PhD, senior vice president of Research and Training, is principal investigator for the study titled, "A Biomarker for Cognitive Fatig...

Study shows efficacy of radionuclide therapy–immunotherapy combination in prostate cancer model A combination of radionuclide therapy and immunotherapy has proven successful in slowing the progression of prostate cancer and increasing survival time, according to new research published in the February issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine. The results of the murine study indicate that radionuclide therapy promotes prostate cancer immunogenicity, provoking a cellular response that makes the...

Discovery may reduce the environmental impact of chemical manufacturing Chemical manufacturers frequently use toxic solvents such as alcohols and benzene to make products like pharmaceuticals and plastics. Researchers are examining a previously overlooked and misunderstood phenomenon in the chemical reactions used to make these products. This discovery brings a new fundamental understanding of catalytic chemistry and a steppingstone to practical applications that could someday make chemical man...
