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.
Plant communities across Europe are not adapting quickly enough to climate warming, creating a growing “climatic debt” that could drive faster ecological change in the future, according to a study published in Nature.
Small, targeted modifications to large language models (LLMs) can produce unforeseen and harmful effects, a new study warns, highlighting risks in deploying AI systems without fully understanding their internal mechanisms.
Blue tits are lining their nests with cigarette butts to reduce parasites and improve the health and survival chances of their chicks, scientists from the University of Lodz have found.
People who experienced adversity in childhood are more likely to help strangers but less likely to support close family members, while trust in others in adulthood is primarily shaped by positive early experiences, according to a study by researchers from the University of Warsaw.
Scientists from the Małopolska Centre of Biotechnology at Jagiellonian University have shown that a key enzyme transport system in the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi is more complex than previously believed, providing new insight into a mechanism essential for the organism’s survival.
Scientists from the Warsaw University of Technology are developing a system designed to deliver chemotherapy drugs directly to tumours using nanometric carriers, which could reduce damage to healthy cells and improve treatment effectiveness.
Polish archaeologists working in Old Dongola in Sudan have discovered an Arabic document confirming the existence of King Qasqash, a ruler previously regarded as a semi-legendary figure.
Body fat affects the human voice, making women’s voices louder and giving men’s voices a “brighter” tone, according to research by Polish anthropologist Łukasz Pawelec, PhD, of the Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences.
RNA’s spatial structure allows it to replicate efficiently without enzymes, a feature that may explain why RNA, not DNA, was the first self-replicating molecule on Earth, according to Polish researchers from the Faculty of Chemistry at Wrocław University of Science and Technology.
