Medical Xpress / Discovery illuminates how inflammatory bowel disease promotes colorectal cancer
A chain of immune reactions in the gut—driven by a key signaling protein and a surge of white blood cells from the bone marrow—may help explain why people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have a higher risk of colorectal ...
Phys.org / Beneath Antarctica's largest ice shelf, a hidden ocean is revealing its secrets
Beneath Antarctica's Ross Ice Shelf lies one of the least measured oceans on Earth—a vast, dark cavity roughly twice the volume of the North Sea.
Phys.org / Arctic cloud and ice formation affected by Russian river runoff as region studied for first time
Organic matter carried in rivers to the Russian part of the Arctic Ocean may be creating more clouds and keeping the region cooler, a new study has found.
Medical Xpress / A balancing act: Dual mRNA markers in T cells act as a kill switch to prevent an overactive immune system
How do immune cells strike a balance, unleashing rapid attacks against pathogens or cancer, while avoiding damage to healthy cells? Research into an immune kill switch holds potential for controlling infections or preventing ...
Medical Xpress / New study reveals widespread liver dysfunction in Down syndrome, suggests link to diet
Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Linda Crnic Institute for Down Syndrome (Crnic Institute) have uncovered compelling evidence that individuals with Down syndrome experience significant alterations in liver ...
Phys.org / Rethinking where life could exist beyond Earth
Astronomers have long searched for life within a rather narrow ring around a star, the "habitable zone," where a planet should be neither too hot nor too cold for liquid water. A new study argues that this ring is too strict: ...
Phys.org / Resurrected ancient enzyme offers new window into early Earth and the search for life beyond it
By resurrecting a 3.2-billion-year-old enzyme and studying it inside living microbes, researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison have created a new way to improve our understanding of the origins of life on Earth ...
Phys.org / Entangled atomic clouds enable more precise quantum measurements
Researchers at the University of Basel and the Laboratoire Kastler Brossel have demonstrated how quantum mechanical entanglement can be used to measure several physical parameters simultaneously with greater precision.
Medical Xpress / Breast cancer study reveals synergistic effect of CDK2 and CDK4/6 combination therapy
A new preclinical study from researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, published in Nature Communications, identifies a powerful strategy to overcome drug resistance in breast cancer by simultaneously ...
Tech Xplore / High-performance solar evaporator rapidly transforms seawater into fresh drinking water
A research team affiliated with UNIST has unveiled a new technology that can convert seawater into clean drinking water using only sunlight, without any external power source. This breakthrough could play a crucial role in ...
Medical Xpress / Alzheimer's disease can be evaluated with brain stimulation, finds study
As individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD) move from the mild cognitive impairment stage to moderate and severe dementia, complex awareness deteriorates although lower-level sensory awareness is relatively maintained. Most ...
Phys.org / Seismometer networks could track space junk as it falls to Earth
Space debris—the thousands of pieces of human-made objects abandoned in Earth's orbit—pose a risk to humans when they fall to the ground. To locate possible crash sites, a Johns Hopkins University scientist has helped ...
