Medical Xpress / Understanding the origins of Hodgkin lymphoma cells could lead to better diagnostics
For the first time, Weill Cornell Medicine researchers have demonstrated that Hodgkin lymphoma cancer cells from patient samples are immune cells stuck in an "identity crisis." Normally, a B cell matures into a plasma cell ...
Medical Xpress / Baby teeth and brain imaging reveal how early-life metal exposures shape brain development and behavior
Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai report that early-life exposure to common environmental metals may influence brain development and behavioral health more than a decade later. The study, published ...
Phys.org / First gap-free peanut genomes reveal genes behind bigger seeds and better oils
An international team of researchers has produced complete, gap-free genome sequences for six peanut varieties, providing a comprehensive blueprint for future peanut breeding and improvement strategies.
Phys.org / Common soil fungus could cut pesticide use while helping tomatoes grow stronger
Trichoderma species—a common fungus found in soils—have varying abilities to promote tomato plant growth and differentially affect the abundance of certain soil bacteria, according to a study led by researchers at Penn State.
Phys.org / Scientists discover how the Twelve Apostles were formed—and their real age
Scientists at the University of Melbourne have uncovered for the first time how Australia's iconic Twelve Apostles were formed, finding tectonic plate movements over millions of years lifted and tilted the giant structures ...
Medical Xpress / Label-free optical imaging enables automated measurement of human white matter microstructure
White matter pathways allow distant parts of the brain to communicate, supporting memory, emotion, and language. One such pathway, the uncinate fasciculus, connects the front of the temporal lobe with regions of the frontal ...
Medical Xpress / Exploiting a new vulnerability that targets 'zombie' cells as an anticancer therapy
A new set of drugs exploit a recently revealed weakness in "zombie-like"—or senescent—cells that could lead to new treatments for cancer and age-associated diseases. The study from the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) ...
Science X / As extreme heat tightens its grip, farms and food security face a punishing new reality
The frequency, intensity, and duration of extreme heat events have risen sharply over the past half century, and the risks to agrifood systems and ecosystems are set to soar in the future, according to "Extreme heat and agriculture," ...
Phys.org / Brushstroke-mapping AI reopens a centuries-old mystery about one of El Greco's masterpieces
Spanish Renaissance master El Greco is often considered one of the greatest painters of all time, and many of his artworks are displayed in galleries around the world. His painting The Baptism of Christ is generally believed ...
Tech Xplore / Engineered wood provides solar power even after the sun goes down
While sustainable solar energy can potentially meet our global power needs, it has one major flaw. When sunlight disappears, solar panels stop generating electricity. The problem is that while they do an excellent job of ...
Medical Xpress / Fracture risk assessment becomes more accurate with age-based thresholds
Fracture risk in Sweden has been overestimated, according to research from the University of Gothenburg. As health care tools are updated with new data, more people—including younger patients—may receive treatment. A widely ...
Phys.org / How accelerating evolution could help corals survive future heat waves—new study
As global warming accelerates, extreme heat waves are causing widespread death of tropical reef corals. Most corals rely on tiny algae cells living within their tissues that photosynthesize and produce energy. Corals use ...
