Medical Xpress / Innovative targeted therapy halts prostate cancer spread to the bone
New findings from VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center and the VCU Institute of Molecular Medicine (VIMM), published in Pharmacological Research, show that an innovative drug effectively prevents prostate tumors from spreading ...
Phys.org / Time lapse video shows trees give visual clues as they rehydrate each spring
With the arrival of spring a few weeks ago, new buds and colors on the trees started to appear. Along with that new growth, a UBC Okanagan researcher has determined that some trees in spring also provide simple, visual clues—raised ...
Phys.org / Japan's giant caldera volcano is refilling 7,300 years later
The magma reservoir of the largest volcanic eruption of the Holocene is refilling. This Kobe University insight on the Kikai caldera in Japan allows us to understand giant caldera volcanoes like Yellowstone or Toba more generally ...
Phys.org / Nature's photocopiers caught 'doodling'—scientists say it could revolutionize how DNA is written
New research has discovered that the molecular machines responsible for copying our DNA have a surprising hidden talent—an ability to create entirely new and highly sophisticated DNA sequences from scratch. The study, led ...
Tech Xplore / Lithium-air batteries break performance barriers thanks to a newly developed 2D catalyst
As the electric vehicle and energy storage system (ESS) markets experience rapid growth, the development of next-generation batteries capable of surpassing the energy density limitations of existing lithium-ion batteries ...
Medical Xpress / Heat-activated skin patch can kill melanoma cells without surgery
Melanoma is a deadly form of skin cancer that is typically removed surgically. Now, researchers publishing in ACS Nano report they have developed a potential noninvasive treatment for melanoma in the form of a stretchy, heat-activated ...
Medical Xpress / Easter eggs can be dyed and still eaten. Just follow these tips to make sure it's safe
Easter is around the corner, and it's time to start thinking about how to decorate your eggs.
Medical Xpress / AI-powered portable eye scanner expands access to low-cost community screening
Imagine being able to assess how healthy the front of our eyes are not only in hospitals, but also in remote eye-screening camps, elderly-care facilities, pharmacies, or even train stations. That is the future a research ...
Phys.org / Embryo-like fossils from Southern China offer new clues about ancient life
Some of the most ancient fossils collected to date were traced back to the Ediacaran period. This is the time interval ranging from around 635 to 541 million years ago, shortly before the time when scientists predict that ...
Phys.org / Cosmic collision of galaxies mapped by Maunakea telescope
An astronomer at the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo is using data from the Canada–France–Hawaiʻi Telescope (CFHT) on Maunakea to help reconstruct a slow-motion cosmic collision, one that has been unfolding for hundreds of ...
Phys.org / Molecular system can distinguish and neutralize cancer cells, paving the way for 'smart' drugs
How can cancer cells be targeted without damaging healthy tissue? This is one of the major challenges facing oncology today. Using synthetic DNA strands, a team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) has created a "smart" ...
Medical Xpress / Largest genome study of urban Peruvians unlocks clues for precision medicine
Latin American people are represented in fewer than 4% of genetic epidemiological studies around the world. When they are included, they're often lumped together as one group, despite the rich diversity among different Latin ...
