Medical Xpress / Order of cancer-driving mutations affects the chance of tumor development, study shows
The order of cancer-driving mutations—genetic changes—plays an important role in whether tumors in the intestine can develop, new research reveals.
Medical Xpress / Single enzyme failure found to drive neuron loss in dementia
Researchers at Helmholtz Munich, the Technical University of Munich and the LMU University Hospital Munich uncovered a mechanism that protects nerve cells from premature cell death, known as ferroptosis. The study provides ...
Phys.org / LHC data confirm validity of new model of hadron production—and test foundations of quantum mechanics
A boiling sea of quarks and gluons, including virtual ones—this is how we can imagine the main phase of high-energy proton collisions. It would seem that particles here have significantly more opportunities to evolve than ...
Medical Xpress / From field to lab: Study reveals how people with vision loss judge approaching vehicles
Patricia DeLucia has spent decades studying something many of us never think about: judgments about collisions that are crucial for safety. But the roots of her research stretch back to her childhood, long before she became ...
Medical Xpress / Targeted alpha therapy using astatine shows promise in thyroid cancer resistant to conventional treatment
A new targeted alpha therapy is showing promise for patients whose thyroid cancer no longer responds to radioactive iodine, the standard beta-emitting treatment. In a first-in-human study, investigators found that a single ...
Medical Xpress / Psoriasis rates rise globally, with highest burden in wealthier regions
Researchers in China report that global incidence rates of psoriasis rose slightly from 1990 to 2021 and are projected to continue rising for both men and women through 2050.
Medical Xpress / From AI to wearables: WHO outlines global plan for digital health tools
Make way for digital health. Smart watches and health apps aren't just for fitness enthusiasts and people with access to advanced care—the World Health Organization (WHO) is looking to these and other digital tech devices ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers uncover the earliest stages of human placenta formation
A gene that turns on very early in embryonic development could be key to the formation of the placenta, which provides the developing fetus with what it needs to thrive during gestation.
Phys.org / New study challenges the idea of humans as innately nature-loving
Nature is a source of well-being and recovery for many people. However, research shows that there is also a growing number of individuals who experience negative emotions, such as fear, discomfort, or even disgust, toward ...
Medical Xpress / Rising temperatures linked to shorter, poorer sleep for US adults
Higher nighttime temperatures are linked to shorter sleep times and lower sleep quality, especially for people with chronic health conditions, lower socioeconomic status, or those living on the West Coast, according to a ...
Phys.org / Lightning channels reveal hidden bursts: Lateral negative re-discharges observed for first time
A new study led by researchers from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has uncovered the first observational evidence of lateral negative re-discharges occurring on negative leader ...
Tech Xplore / Georgia Power says it needs a huge increase in power capacity to meet data center demand
With data centers flooding into Georgia, utility regulators face a big decision: Should they let Georgia Power Co. spend more than $15 billion to increase its electricity capacity by 50% over the next six years to serve computer ...
