Phys.org / Genome advancement puts better Wagyu marbling on the menu
Researchers from the University of Adelaide's Davies Livestock Research Center (DLRC) have described the most complete cattle genome yet, in a study that will lead to improvements in Wagyu breeding and result in better beef ...
Medical Xpress / Blocking Claudin-4 protein may help immune system fight aggressive ovarian cancer
Scientists at The University of Texas at El Paso have found a promising new target in the fight against high-grade serous carcinoma, an aggressive form of ovarian cancer. Less than 50% of women survive five years after diagnosis, ...
Phys.org / Researchers uncover synchronous ecological collapse across Paleotethys Ocean during Permian–Triassic transition
A research team from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Paleontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (NIGPAS), in collaboration with international partners, has completed a high-resolution biomarker analysis of the Zal ...
Phys.org / The silent violence of ableism in architecture
Outdated models of disability still dominate thinking in our built environment. Approaches grounded in old medical and charity models of disability have long reinforced a status quo trapped in hundred-year-old thinking—and ...
Medical Xpress / Omomyc enhances PARP inhibitor effects and overcomes resistance in breast cancer models
Findings from a preclinical study demonstrate that Omomyc—the only direct MYC inhibitor to have successfully completed a phase I clinical trial—causes DNA damage in cancer cells which is synergistically enhanced in combination ...
Phys.org / Urban blue spaces quietly support food, income and community
The rivers, lakes and ponds in cities—urban blue spaces also known as UBS—are increasingly recognized for their ecological and social roles. However, their contributions to sustainable food systems remain understudied.
Tech Xplore / Approximate domain unlearning: Enabling safer and more controllable vision-language models
Vision-language model (VLM) is a core technology of modern artificial intelligence (AI), and it can be used to represent different forms of expression or learning, such as photographs, illustrations, and sketches.
Medical Xpress / Why undisturbed sleep is important to brain injury recovery
A new study highlights how important uninterrupted sleep is to recovery after a traumatic brain injury, finding that fragmented sleep in injured mice is linked to a loss of rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep and increased fatigue.
Phys.org / Researchers use social media for real-time monitoring of heat experiences
A study led by health communications experts at the University of California, Irvine has yielded a new way to monitor heat equity in real time, facilitating the design of heat warning systems and targeted mitigation efforts ...
Medical Xpress / Comparing DNA language models to guide optimal AI selection for genomics
Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have performed a comprehensive evaluation of five artificial intelligence (AI) models trained on genomic sequences, known as DNA foundation language models. ...
Phys.org / The minority dilemma in media reports: Study finds cognitive bias, not prejudice, drives labels in news coverage
In media coverage, individuals' membership in minority groups, such as their country of origin, is often explicitly mentioned. In contrast, majority membership is usually not highlighted. Does this reflect prejudice against ...
Medical Xpress / Oregon's first-in-the-nation hospital price cap cuts costs without compromising care
As health care costs continue to soar across the U.S., a growing number of states are setting limits on how much hospitals can charge. These policies, known as hospital payment caps, aim to curb spending by tying hospital ...
