Medical Xpress / Short-circuiting pancreatic cancer: A potential RNA therapy
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the most lethal form of pancreas cancer. It's also the most common form of the disease. Potential treatments typically target a key mutated oncogene called KRAS. In some cases, PDAC ...
Phys.org / Portable biosensor could enable on-site PFAS detection
A portable biosensor developed at La Trobe University may allow rapid, on-site detection of toxic "forever chemicals" in water, removing the need for samples to be sent to specialist laboratories.
Phys.org / Understanding the link between nucleotide metabolism and chromatin assembly
A Northwestern Medicine study has revealed a previously unknown connection between two fundamental cellular processes, offering fresh insight into how human cells build and maintain chromatin, according to findings published ...
Medical Xpress / States with abortion restrictions found to have worse outcomes for patients using fertility treatment
Research from Oregon Health & Science University has found that laws restricting access to abortion may disproportionately affect pregnancies conceived through fertility treatment.
Tech Xplore / Detecting 'hidden defects' that degrade semiconductor performance with 1,000X higher sensitivity
Semiconductors are used in devices such as memory chips and solar cells, and within them may exist invisible defects that interfere with electrical flow. A joint research team has developed a new analysis method that can ...
Tech Xplore / Solar hydrogen can now be produced efficiently, no platinum required
A research team led by Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, has presented a new way to produce hydrogen gas without the scarce and expensive metal platinum. Using sunlight, water and tiny particles of electrically conductive ...
Medical Xpress / Mapping metastasis—how nutrient availability shapes breast cancer's spread
Breast cancer can spread—or metastasize—to many different parts of the body, but it's not well understood why tumors grow better in some organs than others.
Medical Xpress / Stem cell therapy for stroke shows how cells find their way in the brain
Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the cornea—can heal from minor scratches within a single day. The brain is not one of these fast-healing ...
Medical Xpress / Research shows how immune system reacts to pig kidney transplants in living patients
Novel research led by Brazilian scientists describes the immune system's reactions in detail in the first living patient to receive a genetically modified pig kidney transplant. This paves the way for the search for therapies ...
Phys.org / Superconducting detector captures hot spots with submicron resolution
A research team from Osaka Metropolitan University proposed using a current-biased kinetic inductance detector with submicron 400 megapixels to image hot spots induced by a localized external stimulus over a 15 × 15 mm2 ...
Medical Xpress / Stem cell engineering progress paves way for next-generation living drugs
For the first time, researchers at the University of British Columbia have demonstrated how to reliably produce an important type of human immune cell—known as helper T cells—from stem cells in a controlled laboratory ...
Medical Xpress / What is CPR and who needs it?
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a vital skill anyone can perform. It is administered to an unconscious person who is not breathing normally.
