A thorough understanding of insect physiology and ecology can influence sustainable farming practices throughout Africa in the future. This idea formed the basis of the recent inaugural lecture delivered by Professor Christopher Weldon, an entomologist in the Department of Zoology and Entomology at the University of Pretoria (UP).
In the study, appearing April 30 in JAMA Surgery, patients treated with SGLT2i had a small but significantly higher risk of postoperative euglycemic ketoacidosis but a lower risk of postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) and mortality at 30 days post-surgery.
A pioneering study has unveiled a revolutionary technique that enhances stem cell therapy for neurodegenerative diseases by combining magnetic guidance with localized ultrasound stimulation. This innovative approach successfully navigates magnetically loaded stem cells to specific brain regions and promotes their differentiation into neurons using a miniaturized ultrasound device.
A research team has developed a novel strategy for isolating high-purity muscle stem cells (MuSCs), fibro-adipogenic progenitors (FAPs), and smooth muscle cells (SMCs) from porcine muscle tissue.
A research team reveals the promising antihypertensive effects of egg white hydrolysates (EWH) and ovotransferrin-depleted egg white hydrolysates (OD-EWH) in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs), suggesting that these natural ingredients could be effective alternatives to traditional pharmaceuticals for managing hypertension.
Led by Drs. Mijeong Han and Young Hun Kang at the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology (KRICT), the team combined carbon nanotubes with Bi鈧�.鈧勨倕Sb鈧�.鈧呪倕Te鈧� (BST) in a porous foam structure to maximize thermoelectric performance.
The University of Pretoria (UP) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with China鈥檚 Central South University (CSU), formalising an existing collaboration between the two institutions. This agreement aims to strengthen cooperation in areas such as staff and student exchanges, joint education programmes, scientific research and other mutual interests.
Study finds that 25% of 7350 patients hospitalized between 2016 and 2021 for scooter-related injuries were using substances such as alcohol, opioids, marijuana and cocaine when injured. The findings underscore the urgent need to strengthen safety regulations, enforce helmet use, and reduce substance use among scooter riders.
The first 100 days of President Donald Trump鈥檚 second term were highlight by fast-paced executive actions, deepening political polarization, and mixed public reaction, says Virginia Tech political scientist Karen Hult.
The setting for the TV series "Paradise" is an idyllic small town, but it turns out this pleasant community exists entirely underground. Virginia Tech mining engineer Nino Ripepi and electrical engineer Ali Mehrizi-Sani look at just how realistic "Paradise" actually is.
For the first time, researchers can study the microstructures inside metals, ceramics and rocks with X-rays in a standard laboratory without needing to travel to a particle accelerator, according to a study led by University of Michigan engineers.
Every year, some mothers die after giving birth due to heart problems, and many of these deaths could be prevented. The ability to screen for heart weakness before pregnancy could play a crucial role in identifying women who may need additional care to improve pregnancy outcomes.
