Medical Xpress / 'Molecular glue' redirects a cancer-driving protein to activate cell death
A two-headed molecule designed by Stanford Medicine researchers hijacks one of the most common protein drivers of B-cell lymphoma, flipping it from its role as a promoter of cell growth into an arbiter of cell death. In mice, ...
Phys.org / 'Wall-to-wall' map of NYC trees could help cool cities worldwide
Researchers have created an interactive map identifying 1.8 million individual trees in New York City, using a new approach that could optimize the placement of trees for cooling in cities around the world.
Tech Xplore / At 0.8 nanometers, carbon film may replace two layers in future chip wiring
As transistors inside microchips continue to shrink, the metal wiring that connects them is becoming a growing obstacle to faster, more energy-efficient chips. Narrower wires have greater electrical resistance, while smaller ...
Medical Xpress / Super-resolution microscopy reveals how a cancer drug triggers cellular breakdown
Cancer drugs are often designed to block specific molecular targets, but what happens after they enter a cell is not always well understood. A new study published in Biophotonics Discovery demonstrates how advanced imaging ...
Tech Xplore / People are more likely to ditch the car and use an e‑bike if they feel confident and safe
Finally, Australians are being encouraged to swap four wheels for two. Governments are investing in cycling infrastructure, and calls for e-bike subsidies are growing louder.
Medical Xpress / How loss of tumor suppressor drives ER+ breast cancer to metastasize to the bone
A Baylor College of Medicine-led team has uncovered how loss of tumor suppressor neurofibromin (NF1) in estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer cells drives the cells' preference to metastasize to bone.
Phys.org / UK forecasts 'biggest' El Nino will smash records, spark hottest year
This year's El Niño weather pattern will be the biggest in more than a century and could make 2027 the hottest year globally, Britain's national weather agency predicted Friday.
Medical Xpress / West Nile virus reported in 12 European countries: EU health agency
Twelve countries in Europe have reported locally acquired cases of West Nile virus so far this year, the EU health agency said Friday, urging the continent to boost its control efforts.
Phys.org / Farm mice study shows antibiotic resistance is an environmental problem, not just a medical one
Scientists analyzed the genomes of gut microorganisms from an extensive population of 875 wild house mice (Mus musculus) collected from farms in Germany. They searched for genes responsible for resistance to common antibiotics ...
Phys.org / Centuries-old physics test could help detect millicharged particles
Theoretical physicists have long predicted the existence of millicharged particles (mCPs), hypothetical particles that carry a very small electric charge. These particles are expected to interact very weakly with ordinary ...
Tech Xplore / Electronic skin improves temperature and pressure sensing for personalized prosthetics
An electronic skin with a sensing system that can detect pressure and temperature could someday help amputees gain feeling in their prosthetics. The work, led by Washington State University researchers and published in the ...
Phys.org / Ruby-forming mineral found by Mars rover hints at violent impacts
So far, most of the minerals found on Mars tell a story of lava poured out by ancient volcanoes, followed by long stretches in which water trickled through and slowly reshaped the rock. However, some rocks scattered across ...
