Phys.org / A single gene may control corn snake's skin pattern diversity
In many animals, skin coloration and its patterns play a crucial role in camouflage, communication, or thermoregulation. In the corn snake, some morphs display red, yellow, or pink blotches, and their dorsal spots can merge ...
Phys.org / Multi-spacecraft radio observations trace the heliospheric magnetic field
Solar flares accelerate energetic electrons that escape into interplanetary space, guided by the Parker spiral magnetic field, and are responsible for the generation of the interplanetary Type III solar radio bursts. With ...
Medical Xpress / AI 'digital twin' platform personalizes cancer treatment dosing in research trial
While artificial intelligence (AI) has shown promising potential, much of its use has remained theoretical or retrospective. Turning its potential into real-world health care outcomes, researchers at the Yong Loo Lin School ...
Medical Xpress / Gene therapy delivered early can help children with rare neurodegenerative disease retain motor and cognitive functions
If administered early, gene therapy has the potential to change the medical history of children born with metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD), a rare and lethal neurodegenerative disease of genetic origin which leads to the ...
Phys.org / Evolutionary analysis uncovers protein changes that protect mammals from aging and disease
Over recent decades, humanity has witnessed a remarkable and continuous increase in lifespan. However, this advancement has been accompanied by a growing aging population, increasingly affected by age-related diseases such ...
Phys.org / Scientists repurpose gene editing tool to help uncover hidden microbial diversity
Pioneering research led by the University of Bristol has repurposed a gene-editing tool to help shed light on the true biodiversity present in natural environments. The study, published in the journal Royal Society Open Science, ...
Medical Xpress / 3D spatial mapping of tumor cell 'neighborhoods' reveals potential targets for personalized cancer therapy
Researchers in Nikolaus Rajewsky's lab at Max Delbrück Center combined high-resolution, single-cell spatial technologies to map a tumor's cellular neighborhoods in 3D and identify potential targets for personalized cancer ...
Phys.org / New microscope reveals quantum dance of atoms in twisted graphene
In new research published in Nature, Weizmann Institute scientists introduce a powerful tool to explore quantum phenomena—the cryogenic Quantum Twisting Microscope (QTM).
Phys.org / Tillage reductions lead to dramatic rise in crop yields and soil organic carbon levels
A new study from South Dakota State University reveals reductions in tillage intensity have led to an increase in soil organic carbon levels and an increase in corn and soybean yields.
Phys.org / Physicists uncover hidden order in the quantum world through deconfined quantum critical points
In the intricate world of quantum physics, where particles interact in ways that seem to defy the standard rules of space and time, lies a profound mystery that continues to captivate scientists: the nature of deconfined ...
Medical Xpress / Drug that treats flu shows additional benefit of protecting close contacts from infection
One dose of the antiviral baloxavir marboxil lowers the chance of transmitting the influenza virus to family members by about 30%, according to research published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Phys.org / Controlling starch levels in algae could reduce greenhouse gases
High-starch algae are important in biofuel production, as a feed supplement in agriculture and as an efficient way to bind carbon dioxide. Researchers have now found a new method to control starch storage in algae—a finding ...
