Medical Xpress / LIG1 loss exposes a therapeutic vulnerability in triple-negative breast cancer
Loss of one copy of the DNA ligase I (LIG1) gene in triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC) with TP53 mutations confers resistance to chemotherapy, but researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions ...
Phys.org / Scale can measure university students' confidence in using AI
A study conducted at Koç University School of Nursing examined university students' perceived self-efficacy in using artificial intelligence technologies. Led by Associate Professor Remziye Semerci Şahin and Assistant Professor ...
Phys.org / Fatal car crashes in the US rise the day after a major mass shooting incident, finds new study
Mass shooting incidents and car crashes may seem like two unrelated incidents, but a recent study has uncovered that there might be an unexpected link. Every year, more than a hundred mass shootings take place across the ...
Phys.org / AI‑designed gene‑editing enzymes expand the CRISPR toolbox
Scientists have made many advances using traditional CRISPR technology, especially in medicine, but they are now seeking ways to create genuinely new gene-editing enzymes with properties that have not already evolved naturally. ...
Phys.org / River bacteria consume methane but fall short as global warming boosts emissions
Alberto Borges, oceanographer at the University of Liège, has conducted a comparative study in Belgium and Africa on the microbial oxidation of methane in rivers, a natural process in which certain bacteria consume this powerful ...
Phys.org / Tooth enamel reveals the origins of African slaves buried on St Helena
In the mid-19th century, the remote island of St. Helena, located about 1,200 miles (1,900 kilometers) off the southwestern coast of Africa, became a receiving point for thousands of enslaved Africans rescued from illegal ...
Medical Xpress / What people look at most reflects their brains' specialization
While people explore the environment around them, their eyes constantly move between different objects, faces and other specific segments of a visual scene. This dynamic process allows them to prioritize visual information ...
Phys.org / How Gravity from Entropy theory connects the second law of thermodynamics with the emergence of cosmic structure
A new study by Queen Mary University of London mathematician Professor Ginestra Bianconi proposes a new perspective on one of the deepest questions in modern physics: How can the universe become increasingly structured and ...

Phys.org / Amazon soy pact collapse could add 1.4 million hectares of deforestation by 2036
The collapse of a landmark Amazon soy pact will drive at least 1.4 million hectares (3.5 million acres) of extra deforestation in Brazil over the next decade, releasing carbon emissions equal to Canada's annual output, according ...
Phys.org / Giant planets could act as dark matter detectors
Researchers in the U.S. have carried out the most stringent tests to date of the idea that an ultraviolet glow in the atmospheres of giant planets could partly arise through the indirect interaction between dark matter and ...
