Breakthrough in fertility treatment: Prostaglandin receptors found to promote embryo implantation

Sciencedaily.com 

A team fhas uncovered a new mechanism that could revolutionize infertility care by promoting embryo implantation. The discovery focuses on prostaglandin (PG) receptors in the uterus that enhance the critical process of decidualization, which is necessary for a successful pregnancy. This finding opens the door to developing new fertility treatments that target these receptors.

What numbers do you see? A new bistable perceptual phenomenon on symbolic numbers

Sciencedaily.com 

This research described a new perceptual phenomenon of bistability induced by partial occlusion of digital numerals. Results of experiments using visual adaptation indicate that this perceptual bistability mainly originates from mid-level visual processing stages which take part in processing global complex shapes and number forms.

Researchers develop nanoparticle technology for targeted diagnosis and treatment of atherosclerosis

Sciencedaily.com 

A team developed a nanoparticle technology that offers an effective solution to diagnose and treat atherosclerosis, in a non-invasive manner. Atherosclerosis is the build-up of plaque in the arteries which causes their narrowing and is a primary cause of ischemic heart disease (IHD) and ischemic stroke (IS), major contributors to deaths caused by cardiovascular diseases globally. This theranostic approach represents a significant advancement in the field of cardiovascular medicine as it offers a... Читать дальше...
