Medical Xpress / Study identifies a new class of drug targets for aggressive leukemia
Hyperactive signaling pathways of some aggressive blood cancer cells can be tamped down by a previously unrecognized protein complex, ensuring the cancer's survival. If one component of the complex is deleted or removed, ...
Phys.org / Recycling strategies of fungi can affect how forests store carbon
Some fungi are wasteful, while others recycle—and this can determine how much carbon is stored in a forest. Researchers at Lund University have now revealed how fungi manage their mycelium, the network that builds the structure ...
Phys.org / A microfluidic chip for one-step detection of PFAS and other pollutants
Environmental pollutant analysis typically requires complex sample pretreatment steps such as filtration, separation, and preconcentration. When solid materials such as sand, soil, or food residues are present in water samples, ...
Medical Xpress / False alarm in newborn screening: How zebrafish can prevent unnecessary spinal muscular atrophy therapies
A positive newborn screening for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is currently considered a medical emergency. Without early treatment, severe disability or death in infancy are likely. However, research findings from Germany ...
Tech Xplore / Midair haptics and levitation may get steadier with predictable ultrasonic airflow
Acoustic streaming generated by airborne ultrasonic phased arrays plays a critical role in the performance of advanced ultrasonic technologies, including midair haptic feedback, odor delivery, and acoustic levitation. Researchers ...
Phys.org / How did humans develop sharp vision? Lab-grown retinas show likely answer
Humans develop sharp vision during early fetal development thanks to an interplay between a vitamin A derivative and thyroid hormones in the retina, Johns Hopkins University scientists have found. The findings could upend ...
Phys.org / Syntax discovered in the warbling duets of wild parrots
With a few minutes of searching, anyone can find videos online of chatty birds: macaws talk to their keepers, cockatoos sing to the camera, corvids mimic the jarring sounds of construction sites. Research has shown that some ...
Phys.org / NASA moon mission spacesuit nears milestone
The next-generation spacesuit for NASA's Artemis III mission continues to advance by passing a contractor-led technical review, as the agency prepares to send humans to the moon's South Pole for the first time. Testing is ...
Medical Xpress / SSRI medications during pregnancy may increase risk of gestational diabetes but protect against preterm birth
An international team of researchers has found that the use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of gestational diabetes and early adaptation ...
Phys.org / AI framework fuses data and literature to speed high-entropy alloy discovery
High-entropy alloys are promising advanced materials for demanding applications, but discovering useful compositions is difficult and expensive due to the vast number of possible element combinations. Now, researchers have ...
Tech Xplore / Research shows companies can gain advantage by prioritizing customer privacy
For many companies, customer privacy is often seen as a regulatory burden that limits data use and personalization rather than as a business opportunity. Research by Natalie Chisam at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln ...
Phys.org / Helping lobster hatcheries safeguard genetic diversity
Some lobster mothers produce offspring that are far more likely to survive—in findings that could help safeguard lobster diversity. University of Exeter researchers, working in partnership with the National Lobster Hatchery ...
