Medical Xpress / Aging may change lung cancer treatment: Targeting ATF4 could curb metastasis
Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have identified a protein linked to an increased risk of metastasis and recurrence in lung cancer. The findings are presented in a study published in the journal Nature that paves ...
Phys.org / Microplastic biofilms carry genes that could alter nutrient cycling in estuaries
A study led by William & Mary's Batten School of Coastal & Marine Sciences & VIMS and published in FEMS Microbiology Ecology reveals that microbial communities growing on microplastics in the Chesapeake Bay carry the genetic ...
Medical Xpress / Medicinal cannabis eases endometriosis, pelvic pain
Medicinal cannabis could provide a new treatment option for those with endometriosis, with a study led by the University of Otago, Wellington showing it reduced pain, improved sleep and lowered anxiety. The study, led by ...
Phys.org / New research shows path to affordable water in fast-growing cities
By 2050, up to half the world's urban population will face water scarcity. A new model of water supply, demand, and policies in a drought-prone city of 7 million in India shows how policies could prevent the poor from bearing ...
Tech Xplore / Electric trucks are finally ready for prime time. Could high oil prices speed up the shift?
For years, long-range electric trucks seemed impossible. But much has changed in a short time. Rapid improvements to batteries and chargers mean battery electric trucks are already viable for urban and short-range trucks. ...
Medical Xpress / Turning cancer's protein machinery against itself to boost immunity
A new study led by Pierre Close's team (GIGA, Laboratory of Cancer Signaling, and WELRI Investigator) reveals how subtly disrupting the way tumors produce their proteins can trigger a potent antitumor immune response. Researchers ...
Phys.org / DNA barcoding reveals which gene-therapy nanoparticles reach targets in vivo
Drug delivery researchers have vastly improved the potential of genetic therapies by overcoming the challenge of consistently getting genes and gene-editing tools where they need to be within cells. Findings of the study ...
Phys.org / North American heat wave hit wildlife hard, but a few surprising species thrived
Mussels baked by the billions. Insect larvae cooked inside scorched cherries. Baby birds plummeted to their deaths from their overheating nests. But some species did just fine during the 2021 North American heat wave, according ...
Medical Xpress / Spinal stimulation above and below injury restores leg movement and sensory feedback in clinical trial
The effects of spinal cord injuries are complex and multifaceted. People lose not only the ability to control the movement of their limbs, but also the ability to receive sensory feedback from them. Both are critical to generate ...
Tech Xplore / A night vision upgrade: How AI-tuned VO₂ films could make infrared cameras far more sensitive
Inspired by the infrared sensory organs of snakes, which allow them to detect prey in complete darkness, researchers at UNIST have harnessed artificial intelligence (AI) to develop a sensor material that significantly enhances ...
Medical Xpress / Blood marker for Alzheimer's may also be useful in heart and kidney diseases
A certain blood protein regarded as an early indicator of Alzheimer's disease also appears to play a role in other disorders. Researchers at DZNE and the Hertie Institute for Clinical Brain Research (HIH) at the University ...
Medical Xpress / Fructose-fed mice with low testosterone gained liver weight, but antibiotics blunted it
Low testosterone in itself can cause a variety of health problems, but the addition of a poor diet can exacerbate certain conditions. Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is one example that approximately ...
