Phys.org / Why restoring rivers isn't enough: New research shows fish are evolving in response to human-made rivers
This new international study is calling for a major rethink of how rivers are managed, arguing that fish are not just passive victims of environmental change but active participants in a feedback loop that can reshape entire ...
Phys.org / Gulf Stream shifted north during 12,900-year-old cold snap, first direct evidence shows
During an abrupt global cold snap nearly 13,000 years ago, the Gulf Stream ocean current shifted farther north, temporarily disrupting eastern Canada's oceanic ecosystems, a process that could happen again as the climate ...
Phys.org / Scientists discover collagen, the human body's most abundant protein, is liquid-like inside cells
Collagen, the protein that builds skin, bones, tendons and organs, exists inside cells as a liquidlike droplet rather than the long, rigid rod seen in textbooks over the last half-century, according to a new study from the ...
Phys.org / Faster biological aging consistently linked to poverty and discrimination
By integrating findings from 140 studies and nearly 66,000 individuals, researchers from the Biosocial team at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in collaboration with Columbia University in New York have shown ...
Medical Xpress / Sugar-coated CAR-T cells survive longer and shrink lymphoma tumors in mice
Scientists at Florida International University may have found a way to make a powerful cancer treatment work even better. The treatment, called CAR-T therapy, uses a patient's own immune cells to fight cancer. Doctors remove ...
Medical Xpress / CRISPR enzyme precisely detects and shreds DNA in cancer mutations once considered 'undruggable'
In 2020, Jennifer Doudna won the Nobel Prize in chemistry for her work on the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology that allows scientists to precisely modify DNA by cutting it at specific locations. Six years later, a new ...
Medical Xpress / Fructose sends a weaker satiety signal to the brain than glucose
Researchers at the Monell Chemical Senses Center have found that common dietary sugars fructose and glucose, despite having the same number of calories, communicate with the brain through different gut–brain pathways, a difference ...
Phys.org / New findings complete first evolutionary history of all living millipede orders, dating back 460 million years
Long before vertebrates walked on land, millipedes had the place to themselves. Hundreds of millions of years before dinosaurs arrived, these early decomposers were helping establish Earth's terrestrial ecosystems. But despite ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers develop injectable device to control nerves without surgery
Researchers from NYU Abu Dhabi, in collaboration with Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, have developed a tiny, injectable medical device that introduces a new approach to treating chronic pain and movement disorders by controlling ...
Science X / How tokens unlock robust cooperation in human societies even when memory fails
Humans stand out in their ability to collaborate with people they may never meet again, often at their own expense. Scientists have long been intrigued by this unique feature, which facilitates everything from international ...
Phys.org / Molecular anchors on gut phages could open new therapeutic avenues
Bacteriophages, or phages, are viruses that infect bacteria and are not considered human pathogens. Yet researchers at the Translational Microbiology Laboratory of the Institute of Biochemistry, HUN-REN Biological Research ...
Medical Xpress / Single high dose of psilocybin temporarily restores lost abilities in an 80-year-old Alzheimer's patient
Psilocybin is a naturally occurring psychoactive compound found in mushrooms of the Psilocybe genus. These mushrooms may have existed on Earth for nearly 65 million years, dating to the asteroid impact that caused the dinosaurs' ...
