Phys.org / Immune cells selectively pull DNA from dying nuclei, revealing a process dubbed nucleocytosis
Over the years, cell biology has built a detailed picture of how cells compartmentalize their internal functions. Central to this organization is the nucleus, which houses the genetic material and is separated from the cytoplasm ...
Phys.org / NASA revamps Artemis moon landing program by modeling it after speedy Apollo
NASA said Friday it's revamping its Artemis moon exploration program to make it more like the fast-paced Apollo program half a century ago, adding an extra practice flight before attempting a high-risk lunar landing with ...
Phys.org / How AI can improve the quality of peer review
A new AI coach for scientists has been shown to significantly improve the quality of peer reviews, making them clearer and more helpful for authors. Peer review is essential to ensuring the integrity of scientific publications, ...
Medical Xpress / A universal 'instruction manual' helps immune cells protect our organs
Researchers at the University of Liège have identified a key genetic regulator that enables macrophages to reach full maturity and preserve the health of our organs. The MafB factor, a veritable "molecular switch," activates ...
Phys.org / Researchers challenge misleading language around plastic waste solutions
Solutions to the plastic waste crisis are often pitched using words that can skew value judgments, new research argues. The paper, authored by the Sustainable Materials Innovation Hub at The University of Manchester, explores ...
Phys.org / Yogurt waste inspires researcher to innovate with sourdough bread
If you were one of the many amateur bakers who learned to bake sourdough bread during lockdown, you'll know how complex a single loaf can be. The rise of the bread, moisture, firmness and even crumb structure can make or ...
Phys.org / Color-changing nanopigment sensor tracks pH one to ten with stable, repeatable readings
Chemists in South Korea have created a stable color-changing sensor that displays an easily quantifiable response to the pH of its surroundings. Published in Microsystems & Nanoengineering, Dong-Hwan Kim and colleagues at ...
Phys.org / Wildfire smoke linked to rise in violent assaults, 11-year study finds
A new study spanning 11 years of data has revealed a clear link between wildfire smoke pollution and an increase in violent assaults in Seattle. These findings represent the first direct causal evidence that short-term exposure ...
Medical Xpress / Study suggests one common amino acid may affect how long men live
A large new study suggests that higher levels of a common amino acid called tyrosine may be linked to a shorter lifespan in men.
Phys.org / Vertebrate paleontology has a numbers problem. Computer vision can help
How many fossils does it take to accurately train an image-based AI algorithm? According to a new study co-authored by Bruce MacFadden, UF Distinguished Professor Emeritus and retired curator of vertebrate paleontology at ...
Medical Xpress / Immune blueprint maps how the system fights most widespread form of malaria parasite
New research co-led by Burnet Institute and WEHI has uncovered how the human immune system fights Plasmodium vivax, paving the way for the first effective vaccine against the most widespread form of malaria. Published in ...
Phys.org / Nano-cage removes up to 98% of PFAS in tap water tests
Contamination of ground, surface and drinking water by perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) affects millions of people worldwide. A promising new method developed by Flinders University scientists paves the ...
