Medical Xpress / Hidden metastases reveal clues to colorectal cancer recurrence
Researchers identified a six-gene signature in microscopic colorectal cancer (CRC) liver metastases that may help predict recurrence after treatment. The findings suggest these tiny, often undetectable tumor deposits could ...
Phys.org / Image: Curiosity rover sees Martian sulfur up close
This close-up view shows fragments of sulfur crystals, the first ever seen on the Red Planet.
Phys.org / More sustainable process for alcohol oxidation
Researchers at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, have developed a new method that makes the oxidation of alcohols easier to control and more sustainable. Alcohol oxidation is important both for synthetic chemistry and sustainable ...
Phys.org / New physics-based machine-learning method speeds search for 2D quantum materials
Researchers at The University of Manchester have developed a new computational approach to help identify two-dimensional materials that may host unusual quantum behavior. The work, published in Science Advances, focuses on ...
Medical Xpress / Mouse study identifies C1 neurons as a driver of prolonged fear and anxiety
Anxiety disorders affect more than 300 million people globally. Several brain regions have been linked to anxiety, but how these regions connect has been poorly understood. By exploring these connections, scientists at St. ...
Tech Xplore / Small aquatic robots that assemble into reconfigurable structures on the water
Most people think of the waterfront as the edge of the city. A team of MIT researchers sees it as a dynamic, Lego-like construction site. Their new system, called "FloatForm," is a swarm of small square robotic boats that ...
Phys.org / Making scientific knowledge free for all
Scientific research publishing is a particularly lucrative industry. The most recent estimates suggest that it generates around 19 billion U.S. dollars (or 16.67 billion euros) in annual turnover, with margins of around 40%. ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers discover new form of hereditary prostate cancer
Researchers at the University of British Columbia have identified a new form of hereditary prostate cancer that, while rare, can cause aggressive disease at a young age. The discovery paves the way for genetic testing programs ...
Medical Xpress / Hidden pocket reveals new way to target prostate cancer's 'undruggable' ERG protein
In the United States, prostate cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related disease and death in men. About half of prostate cancer cases in patients of European ancestry have a gene rearrangement in which the genes TMPRSS2 ...
Medical Xpress / A healthy diet during pregnancy associated with lower exposure to some—but not all—chemicals, study finds
Following dietary guidelines during pregnancy may reduce exposure to many—but not all—environmental chemicals from food and everyday products, according to a new study of nearly 1,500 pregnant participants. The study, "Dietary ...
Phys.org / Earth's deep memory is thawing with the Arctic permafrost, degrading records of our ancient world
Permafrost usually hits the news as a hazard, a planetary risk. When this ice-rich ground thaws, it damages roads and building foundations. It drains lakes and tips trees into drunken forests. It releases greenhouse gases ...
Phys.org / Hummingbirds and pineapples: Why this ancient relationship hits the evolutionary sweetspot
High above the rainforest floor, tiny ponds form in the leaves of plants perched on tree branches. Frogs breed in these ponds, alongside insects, microbes and even tiny crustaceans, creating miniature ecosystems suspended ...
