Medical Xpress / The heart's 'natural bypass' that could spare patients from risky procedures
Your heart already has its own built-in bypass system that predicts whether the heart muscle is alive or dead—according to new research from the University of East Anglia and Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital.
Phys.org / A natural chemistry laboratory in protostar shock waves
Life exists because elements combine to form complex organic molecules. Astrochemistry studies this process, trying to understand how nature creates carbon-based molecules critical for life. One source for these types of ...
Medical Xpress / Experimental pill promises new hope for deadly pancreatic cancer
A novel pill helped people with advanced pancreatic cancer live longer, researchers reported Sunday, raising hopes of long-needed better treatments for one of the deadliest types of cancer.
Phys.org / Supermassive black holes could be the universe's biggest planet nurseries
Supermassive black holes are the largest known black holes in the universe, sitting at the center of most large galaxies. They are sometimes described as cosmic monsters because they feed on surrounding gas and dust when ...
Phys.org / Bacteria uncover distinct strategy to import rare sugar polymers, crystal structures show
Even though sugars are often framed as simple sources of energy, they also serve as structurally complex and functionally diverse molecules that mediate interactions between organisms. Among these, β-1,2-glucans, which are ...
Phys.org / What 'biodegradable' packaging really means—and three key questions to ask about it
"Biodegradable" has become one of the most reassuring words in modern packaging. It appears on coffee cups, shopping bags and food containers, implying a promise: this product is better for the environment because nature ...
Medical Xpress / First comprehensive look at breast cancer in Native American women reveals key genetic differences
Researchers from the University of Notre Dame have published the first known detailed study of breast cancer tissue from Native American women. The study, published in npj Precision Oncology, reveals important molecular differences ...
Phys.org / A kohl bottle from York may hint at an ancient Egyptian in Roman-Britain
Ancient Egyptians are often depicted wearing black eyeliner, known as kohl, which was stored in small containers. While kohl containers are typically found throughout Egypt and Sudan (Nubia), their presence beyond these areas ...
Science X / Universal aging clock predicts death risk across multiple mammalian species
What's common between rats, humans, dogs and dolphins? We are all mammals, and one day will be the last day of our lives. A multinational team of researchers have now given us a powerful molecular clock that, with the help ...
Phys.org / Leaf forces help steer stomata as young plants grow, experiments reveal
Scientists have uncovered how the interplay between cell shape and mechanical stress influences the orientation of stomata (microscopic pores on the leaf surface) during early plant development.
Medical Xpress / Two patients with Ebola-like symptoms in isolation in Brazil
Two patients who recently arrived in Brazil from African countries have been put in isolation after showing symptoms linked to Ebola, officials said, raising concerns about the deadly virus spreading beyond the African continent.
Medical Xpress / Dual PET imaging detects tumor progression and heart inflammation during cancer treatment
A novel PET imaging approach enables simultaneous visualization of tumor progression and cardiac inflammatory responses during cancer treatment. Using this strategy, researchers demonstrated the effectiveness of a new combination ...
