Medical Xpress / Some tumors eliminate healthy neighboring cells to grow, study reveals
Chromosomal instability is a common feature in many solid tumors and is associated with greater aggressiveness. For years, its main contribution to cancer was thought to be driving the evolution of tumor genomes, causing ...
Phys.org / Infrastructure for African mines destroying forests at 34 times the rate of the mines themselves
Industrial-scale mining in Africa to support global supply chains is leading to unprecedented deforestation across the continent, with 34 hectares of forest removed for every single hectare of active mine site.
Medical Xpress / First leishmaniasis vaccine enters phase one trial as disease spreads to US
A phase 1 clinical trial testing the safety of a leishmaniasis vaccine is set to begin in the coming months—the first vaccine created to protect against the disfiguring skin disease common in tropical regions of the world ...
Medical Xpress / Integrated care may cut ER visits and hospital stays for adults with developmental disabilities
University of Cincinnati and Ohio State University researchers have found that adults with developmental disabilities who have integrated care were less likely to go to the emergency room or be hospitalized than those who ...
Phys.org / Previously unknown detoxification pathway for chloromethane revealed
Chloromethane is a gas that is toxic to humans and contributes to the depletion of the ozone layer. It is produced during the combustion of coal, biomass and other raw materials. Natural sources such as algae, plants and ...
Medical Xpress / Common arthritis drugs reduce systemic Sjögren's disease activity in 24 weeks
A combination of two widely available anti-rheumatic drugs offers the first effective and affordable treatment for patients with Sjögren's disease with systemic disease activity, according to new results from a clinical trial ...
Phys.org / AI-generated compounds hit specific cell types and outperform conventional screening
The classical drug discovery paradigm begins with a known molecular target: a protein whose modulation is expected to reverse the course of a disease. However, in many pathologies, such a target does not always exist or is ...
Phys.org / Predictive surrogates could cut quantum computing measurement overhead by more than 99.97%
Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, have the potential of outperforming classical computers on some tasks. Despite their potential, the use of these systems remains very ...
Medical Xpress / Newborn balance testing could flag hidden vestibular problems alongside hearing loss
A new doctoral thesis from Karolinska Institutet shows that the balance system can be assessed during the first months of life. Using new, child-friendly methods, health care services can detect vestibular dysfunction in ...
Phys.org / Mount Etna eruptions reveal carbon dioxide and water can trigger separate explosive paths
The plumbing systems of volcanoes are vast and complex. But they aren't consistent, even in the same volcano. A Cornell-led collaboration found very different mechanisms behind two historic eruptions of Mount Etna in Italy. ...
Phys.org / MUSE maps spiral galaxy W2246f, uncovering old core and ongoing star formation across disk
Astronomers have employed the Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) on the Very Large Telescope (VLT) to perform deep spectroscopic observations of a peculiar spiral galaxy known as W2246f. Results of the observational ...
Phys.org / Volcanic eruptions linked to rising famine risk across China's history
Large volcanic eruptions may have played a bigger role in triggering historical famines across China than previously understood, according to a new study that traced links between eruptions, climate disruption, and food shortages ...
