Lack of canine COVID-19 data fuels persisting concerns over dog-human interactions
2023-03-20
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Early COVID-19 pandemic suspicions about dogs’ resistance to the disease have given way to a long-haul clinical data gap as new variants of the virus have emerged.
“It is not confirmed that the virus can be transmitted from one dog to another dog or from dogs to humans,” said veterinarian Mohamed Kamel, a postdoctoral fellow at Purdue University.
During the pandemic’s early days, dogs seemed resistant to the coronavirus, showing little evidence of infection or transmission, said Mohit Verma, assistant professor of agricultural ...

Advanced brain imaging study hints at how DMT psychedelic alters perception of reality
Scientists have gleaned new insights into how psychedelics alter conscious experience via their action on brain activity.
In a study at Imperial College London, detailed brain imaging data from 20 healthy volunteers revealed how the potent psychedelic compound, DMT (dimethyltryptamine), alters brain function. During the immersive DMT experience there was increased connectivity across the brain, with more communication ...
Human-caused mortality is the leading source of death for mountain lions in California
2023-03-20
California, USA - Mountain lions are protected from hunting in California by a law passed by popular vote in 1990. However, a team of researchers working across the state found that human-caused mortality, primarily involving conflict with humans over livestock and collisions with vehicles, was more common than natural mortality for this protected large carnivore. Their findings were published March 20 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Most research on mountain lions is conducted at relatively small scales, which has limited understanding ...
Oncotarget | Unlocking the potential of molecular-driven stratification of osteosarcoma
2023-03-20
BUFFALO, NY- March 20, 2023 – A new editorial paper was published in Oncotarget's Volume 14 on February 11, 2023, entitled, “Unlocking the potential of molecular-driven stratification for osteosarcoma treatment and prognosis.”
Over the last 40 years, the complex genetic landscape, the heterogeneity of the microenvironment and the cell plasticity of Osteosarcoma (OSA) tumors have delayed the therapeutic and prognostic stratification of patients and the introduction of new efficient treatments.
As a direct consequence, the vast majority ...
New research shows “himpathy” towards perpetrators of workplace sexual harassment
2023-03-20
Managers spend much of their time managing conflict and struggle to know how to respond when a ‘he-said-she-said’ workplace dispute occurs. However, a new study shows how employees’ intuitive moral values might give rise to feelings of sympathy toward alleged perpetrators and anger toward their accusing victims. The research, published in this month’s edition of Organization Science, also offers novel insights into what enables perpetrators to go unpunished and why their victims experience backlash for coming forward. ...
Scientists use tardigrade proteins for human health breakthrough
2023-03-20
University of Wyoming researchers’ study of how microscopic creatures called tardigrades survive extreme conditions has led to a major breakthrough that could eventually make life-saving treatments available to people where refrigeration isn’t possible.
Thomas Boothby, an assistant professor of molecular biology, and colleagues have shown that natural and engineered versions of tardigrade proteins can be used to stabilize an important pharmaceutical used to treat people with hemophilia ...
Researchers separate cotton from polyester in blended fabric
2023-03-20
In a new study, North Carolina State University researchers found they could separate blended cotton and polyester fabric using enzymes – nature’s tools for speeding chemical reactions. Ultimately, they hope their findings will lead to a more efficient way to recycle the fabric’s component materials, thereby reducing textile waste.
However, they also found the process need more steps if the blended fabric was dyed or treated with chemicals that increase wrinkle resistance.
“We can separate all of the cotton out of a cotton-polyester blend, meaning now we have clean polyester ...
University of Limerick, Ireland research: Back pain treatment for teens ‘ignores big picture issues’
2023-03-20

The study, carried out by researchers at University of Limerick along with colleagues in the UK and Australia, has shown that new approaches to tackling back pain are not being tested among teenagers.
The research, published in the European Journal of Pain, reveals that there is a lack of treatments addressing ...
