Polish researchers have developed four gene therapy candidates for patients with PUS3 syndrome, an ultra-rare genetic disorder believed to have Polish origins, with one candidate expected to be selected for clinical use, according to geneticist Professor Leszek Lisowski.
Preliminary results from the Astro Performance experiment indicate that astronauts returning from the IGNIS mission experienced significant changes in vitamin D levels and motor stability, researchers said, after analysing more than 14,000 health parameters collected before and after the flight.
Research by scientists at the Wroclaw Medical University has found that the gut-brain axis may play a significant role in psychotic disorders, with evidence linking gut microbiota composition to schizophrenia, including its deficit subtype, and to traumatic experiences.
Scientists have identified 24 new species of amphipod crustaceans, including an entirely new superfamily, in the depths of the Central Pacific Ocean, one of the least explored ecosystems on Earth.
Scientists at Gdańsk University of Technology have developed gelatine-based eutectogels that could be used in the treatment of difficult-to-heal wounds and in controlled drug delivery systems, the university said.
Misuse of generative artificial intelligence tools in education can weaken independent thinking and hinder knowledge development, particularly among students without a strong foundation in a subject, research and experiments show.
Archaeologists in Poland have uncovered ceramic vessels used to drink lactose-reduced milk beverages around 5,500 years ago, likely during ritual feasts connected to funerals.
Fish are shrinking not only due to intensive fishing but also because of evolutionary responses to climate change, according to research by scientists from Poland and Australia published in Science.
A team from Wrocław University of Science and Technology is part of an international consortium developing 3D metal printing technology for microgravity environments, aiming to enable production of spare parts directly in orbit.
Polish researchers have developed microscopic “nanoflowers” that allow antibiotics to be delivered directly to infected bones, enabling drugs to act faster, more effectively, and with reduced toxicity. The technology could be a breakthrough in the treatment of osteomyelitis, a severe bone and bone marrow disease that can lead to bone necrosis and growth disorders in children.
