Researchers use machine learning to identify autism blood biomarkers
- ScienceDaily
- 21/2/25 14:25
Using machine learning tools to analyze hundreds of proteins, researchers have identified a group of biomarkers in blood that could lead to an earlier diagnosis of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and, in turn, more effective therapies sooner.
COVID-19 isolation linked to increased domestic violence, researchers suggest
- ScienceDaily
- 21/2/25 14:25
Extra stress in the COVID-19 pandemic caused by income loss, and lack of ability to pay for housing and food has exacerbated the often silent epidemic of intimate partner violence, a new study suggests.
After spread, travel bans are of limited value in thwarting the spread of COVID-19, researchers find

New research aimed at providing a decision support system to Italian policy makers suggests that reducing individual activity (i.e., social distancing, closure of non-essential business, etc.) is far superior in controlling the dissemination of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
Human-caused North Atlantic right whale deaths are being undercounted
- ScienceDaily
- 21/2/25 14:24
Scientists have found that known deaths of critically endangered North Atlantic right whales represent a fraction of the true death toll. This comes as the death of a calf and recent sightings of entangled right whales off the southeastern United States raise alarm.
New shape-changing 4D materials hold promise for morphodynamic tissue engineering
- ScienceDaily
- 21/2/25 14:24
New hydrogel-based materials that can change shape in response to psychological stimuli, such as water, could be the next generation of materials used to bioengineer tissues and organs, according to a team of researchers.
Scientists uncover new details of SARS-CoV-2 interactions with human cells
- ScienceDaily
- 21/2/25 14:24
In order to infect cells, SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, needs to insert itself into the membrane of human cells. New molecular models show what parts of SARS-CoV-2 are critical for that interaction, revealing new potential drug targets.
Antibodies recognize and attack different SARS-CoV-2 spike shapes
- ScienceDaily
- 21/2/25 14:24
The spikes on the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19, change shapes. New research reveals ways that antibodies can recognize these different shapes and block the virus and informs the design of vaccines and antiviral therapies.
How SARS-CoV-2's sugar-coated shield helps activate the virus
- ScienceDaily
- 21/2/25 14:24
SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, is coated with sugars called glycans, which help it evade the immune system. New research shows precisely how those sugars help the virus become activated and infectious and could help with vaccine and drug discovery.
Why some coronavirus strains are more infectious than others
- ScienceDaily
- 21/2/25 14:24
The coronaviruses that cause SARS and COVID-19 have spike proteins that move into 'active' and 'inactive' positions. New research indicates how those molecular movements may make the COVID-19 virus more infectious compared to the SARS virus.

Pushing computing to the edge by rethinking microchips' design
- ScienceDaily
- 21/2/24 20:36
Responding to artificial intelligence's exploding demands on computer networks, researchers in recent years have radically increased the speed and slashed the energy use of specialized AI systems. Now, the researchers have moved their innovation closer to widespread use by creating co-designed hardware and software that will allow designers to blend these new types of systems into their...
