U.S. should look at how other high-income countries regulate health care costs, experts urge

Posted: 22 Nov 2020 06:46 AM PST

Structuring negotiations between insurers and providers, standardizing fee-for-service payments and negotiating prices can lower the United States' health care spending by slowing the rate at which healthcare prices increase, according to a new study.

Breaking the ice on melting and freezing

Researchers have shared new insights into melting icebergs and lake ice formation.

U.S.-European mission launches to monitor the world's oceans

Posted: 22 Nov 2020 06:40 AM PST

The Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich satellite will extend a nearly 30-year continuous dataset on sea level collected by an ongoing collaboration of U.S. and European satellites while enhancing weather forecasts and providing detailed information on large-scale ocean currents to support ship navigation near coastlines.

Folding of SARS-CoV2 genome reveals drug targets -- and preparation for 'SARS-CoV3'

Posted: 21 Nov 2020 07:43 AM PST

Researchers report having observed the RNA folding structures of the SARS-CoV2 genome with which the virus controls the infection process. Since these structures are very similar among various beta corona viruses, the scientists not only laid the foundation for the targeted development of novel drugs for treating COVID-19, but also for future occurrences of infection with new corona viruses that may develop in the future.

New solvent-based recycling process could cut down on millions of tons of plastic waste

Posted: 20 Nov 2020 11:21 AM PST

Multilayer plastic materials are ubiquitous in food and medical supply packaging, particularly since layering polymers can give those films specific properties, like heat resistance or oxygen and moisture control. But despite their utility, those ever-present plastics are impossible to recycle using conventional methods.

Potential cellular target for eliminating bone breakdown in osteoporosis found

Posted: 20 Nov 2020 10:26 AM PST

By disabling a function of a set of cells in mice, researchers appear to have halted the process that breaks down bone, a potential boon for osteoporosis treatment.

Plant evolves to stay hidden from harvesting humans

A plant used in traditional Chinese medicine has evolved to become less visible to humans, new research shows.

MMR vaccine could protect against COVID-19, study shows

Posted: 20 Nov 2020 06:11 AM PST

The measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine has been theorized to provide protection against COVID-19. In a new study, researchers provide further proof of this by showing that mumps IgG titers, or levels of IgG antibody, are inversely correlated with severity in recovered COVID-19 patients previously vaccinated with the MMR II vaccine.

Near-infrared probe decodes telomere dynamics

Posted: 20 Nov 2020 06:11 AM PST

A new synthetic probe offers a safe and straightforward approach for visualizing chromosome tips in living cells. The probe could advance research into aging and a wide range of diseases, including cancers.
