Medical Xpress / Late diagnosis and limited care drive gynecologic cancer-related deaths in low- and middle-income countries
Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) bear a disproportionate burden of gynecologic malignancies—cancers of the cervix, endometrium, ovary, vagina and vulva. A review published in CANCER reveals that survival disparities ...
Phys.org / New solar system models show Earth is no fluke
Over the past three decades, computer models of planetary system formation have gone from fairly crude representations to sophisticated simulations using thousands of different starting points.
Phys.org / LHC collisions reveal oxygen and neon's shifting nuclear geometry
Many people are aware that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN smashes tiny subatomic particles together at nearly the speed of light to test foundational laws of physics and discover new fundamental particles, but some ...
Medical Xpress / Macrophage 'molecular scissors' may drive obesity-linked inflammation and metabolic damage
Imagine the body's immune cells as a neighborhood cleanup crew. When all is healthy, macrophages roam tissues, clearing away cellular debris and helping maintain order. But obesity can turn these normally protective cells ...
Phys.org / A little Big Bang: Bowling-pin-shaped nuclei shed new light on the universe's first moments
What happened in the first moments of the universe—before the building blocks of life and the world we know today came into existence? Physicists at the CERN research facility in Switzerland are trying to answer this question ...
Medical Xpress / Black people in Canada face barriers to donating much-needed blood
Black people in Canada who want to donate blood face barriers to doing so, despite a critical need for specific blood types to treat sickle cell disease, according to new research published in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association ...
Phys.org / The superconducting gap of an ultrathin nickelate defies expectations
Superconductors are materials that carry electrical current with zero resistance below a specific critical temperature. In conventional superconductors, the transition to superconductivity generally occurs at very low temperatures.
Phys.org / More than half of adults in US say they lack basic statistical understanding
From the daily weather forecast to a baseball player's batting average to an individual's risk of developing lung cancer, understanding statistics can help people in the United States navigate their lives, according to Mark ...
Medical Xpress / Cannabis addiction climbs fast while alcohol use disorder slowly declines across the USA
Alcohol is second on the list of the most addictive drugs in America. By altering the brain's chemistry and triggering the release of pleasure-inducing chemicals like dopamine, alcohol can create a strong desire to repeat ...
Phys.org / Oldest human brain cells grown in lab 'recorded passage of time'
Peppercorn-sized clumps of human brain cells grown in a lab for a record seven years aged similarly to those inside our heads, suggesting they "recorded the passage of time," scientists said Wednesday.
Phys.org / What a record-breaking El Niño could mean for the world
This year's El Niño is on track to be the strongest on record, threatening to unleash extreme weather across the globe and make 2027 the hottest recorded year by far.
Phys.org / Protein degradation rate helps explain why humans develop more slowly than mice
Humans develop at a slower rate than other mammalian species, like mice, but scientists are still trying to understand the molecular basis of these differences. Now, researchers from the Ebisuya Group at EMBL Barcelona and ...
