How the keto diet could one day treat autoimmune disorders
2024-11-04
Scientists have long suspected the keto diet might be able to calm an overactive immune system and help some people with diseases like multiple sclerosis.
Now, they have reason to believe it could be true.
Scientists at UC San Francisco have discovered that the diet makes the gut and its microbes produce two factors that attenuated symptoms of MS in mice.
If the study translates to humans, it points toward a new way of treating MS and other autoimmune disorders with supplements.
The keto diet severely restricts carbohydrate-rich ...
Influence of tool corner radius on chip geometrical characteristics of machining Zr-based bulk metallic glass
2024-11-04
Different from traditional alloys, BMGs exhibit a unique atomic arrangement characterized by short-range order and long-range disorder at the atomic level. Such atomic structure leads to the absence of defects such as grain boundaries and dislocations, resulting in exceptional mechanical properties. The promising properties of BMGs have rapidly positioned them as a new class of structural and functional materials, showing great application potential in various fields including structural, energy and chemical engineering. In order to facilitate their engineering applications, research has reported their cutting characteristics from various aspects, ...

SwRI receives $23 million in U.S. Air Force contracts to sustain aging aircraft
2024-11-04
SAN ANTONIO — November 4, 2024 —Southwest Research Institute has received two contracts totaling $23 million from the U.S. Air Force for a program to address aging aircraft structures and material degradation. Under these contracts, the Institute will help the Air Force modernize methods to sustain the T-38 Talon, the A-10 Thunderbolt and the B-52 Stratofortress. All three military aircraft first came into service more than 45 years ago.
“SwRI will assist with the full spectrum of structural sustainment for these aircraft,” said Luciano Smith, manager of SwRI’s Structural Integrity Group. “Our analyses will help the Air Force know ...

Security in quantum computing
2024-11-04
Alongside artificial intelligence, quantum computing is one of the fastest-growing subsets in the high-performance computing community. But what happens when this relatively new and powerful computing method reaches the limit of the cyberinfrastructure and network security capabilities of today?
Researchers at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications are addressing this issue before it becomes a problem.
“The problem is urgent because practical quantum computers will break classical encryption in the next decade,” ...
Noninvasive choroidal vessel analysis via deep learning: A new approach to choroidal optical coherence tomography angiography
2024-11-04
Researchers from Peking University have developed a novel noninvasive choroidal angiography method that enables layer-wise visualization and evaluation of choroidal vessels using deep learning. This new approach, published in Health Data Science, employs an advanced segmentation model that can handle varying quality of optical coherence tomography (OCT) B-scans, making it a promising tool for clinical applications in diagnosing retinal diseases.
Choroidal Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (C-OCTA) offers a significant improvement in the analysis of choroidal vessels, a critical component in the ...
National Multiple Sclerosis Society awards $1M to Case Western Reserve University researchers to study new approach to treat the disease
2024-11-04
CLEVELAND—Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a debilitating disease of the brain and spinal cord that impacts millions worldwide.
In MS, the immune system mistakenly attacks the myelin sheath—a protective layer surrounding nerve cells in the nervous system. The loss of myelin, combined with ongoing inflammation, causes dysfunction and death of nerve cells, making the disability worse, such as difficulties with movement, coordination, and sensation.
Treatments now focus on reducing attacks on myelin, but don’t address nerve-cell damage and death.
But with $1 million from the National Multiple ...
