Phys.org / Does the Nepal glacier collapse signal a new climate risk?
Does the devastating flooding unleashed by the collapse of a section of a glacier in the Nepali Himalayas signal a new kind of risk in a world warmed by climate change? Here's what scientists told AFP.
Medical Xpress / Pre-cancerous blood cells may fuel disease risk by prematurely aging the bone marrow
Precancerous blood cells can actively reshape their surroundings, prematurely aging cells in the bone marrow to create conditions that favor their own growth and potentially increase the risk of blood cancer, according to ...
Phys.org / Parasitic plants act like genetic engineers by stealing and remodeling useful genes
Many plant species parasitize other plants by latching on and taking the nutrients their hosts need to survive. But sometimes, plants steal more than nutrients; they take genes.
Phys.org / Degraded DNA reveals two extinct Galapagos giant tortoise lineages
Using a new combination of computational tools to analyze ancient DNA, Yale researchers have discovered two ancient, extinct giant tortoise lineages that once lived on the Galapagos Islands.
Phys.org / How bacteria develop resistance to programmable antibiotics
Antimicrobial resistance is one of the greatest challenges facing modern medicine. A new class of programmable antibiotics known as asobiotics can be used to treat bacterial infections when classical antibiotics fail. A team ...
Medical Xpress / Eplontersen trial fails to meet primary endpoint in transthyretin-mediated amyloid cardiomyopathy
The CARDIO-TTRansform trial investigating eplontersen in patients with transthyretin-mediated amyloid cardiomyopathy did not meet its primary efficacy endpoint, according to results presented in a Hot Line session at ESC ...
Medical Xpress / Patients are missing out on the cardiovascular benefits of blood pressure-lowering medicines, say researchers
The true impact of missing doses of blood pressure-lowering medication will be demonstrated in a presentation at ESC Congress 2026. Approximately 1.4 billion adults worldwide ages 30–79 are estimated to have high blood pressure ...
Phys.org / Dog-friendly dining isn't just a trend, it's good for business, new research shows
Restaurants that go beyond simply allowing dogs on patios by offering dedicated menu items for them can significantly boost customer traffic, spending and word-of-mouth, according to new research from Toronto Metropolitan ...
Phys.org / Some Galápagos 'yellow' sea turtles remain homebodies, surprising scientists
Sea turtles are famous for being prodigious wanderers. Guided by Earth's magnetic field, ocean currents and the sun, they tend to crisscross the seas in search of food, returning to the region of their birth every few years ...
Phys.org / The wisdom of the egg cell: Oocyte epigenetic mark may help prevent excessive placental growth after fertilization
The genome—which contains genes encoded in DNA—acts as the fundamental blueprint of life. But what you might not know is that, in addition to this genetic information, we have something akin to an "instruction manual" for ...
Medical Xpress / New mRNA immunotherapy eliminates pancreatic tumors in mice
Inspired by the work of the RNA Therapeutics Institute at UMass Chan Medical School and the development of the COVID vaccine, Marcus Ruscetti, Ph.D., and Chaitanya Naimesh Parikh, Ph.D. '26, have developed an immunotherapy ...
Phys.org / Heat-tolerant corals may be more vulnerable to disease
Corals that partner with heat-tolerant algae may be better equipped to survive warming oceans—but that resilience comes with an unexpected trade-off, according to a new study from Boston University published in Science Advances.
