Medical Xpress / Alternative RNA splicing tied to schizophrenia-like behaviors in animal models
In a new study, Chinese researchers have discovered the previously unrecognized role of alternative splicing of the DOC2A gene in schizophrenia.
Phys.org / Nationwide racial bias shapes media reporting on gun violence, study suggests
Mass shootings in white-majority neighborhoods received roughly twice the news coverage of mass shootings in neighborhoods where a majority of residents were people of color, while coverage of police-involved shootings was ...
Phys.org / Temperature shifts alter honeybee behavior but leave native bees unchanged
Research from Monash University explores how rising temperatures and growing urban environments can affect behavior in native Australian bees and the European honeybee.
Medical Xpress / Reversing immune suppression in pancreatic cancer could lead to novel therapies
In a unique finding, researchers at Georgetown's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center discovered that when pancreatic cancer cells send out tiny particles that are packed with certain microRNA molecules, nearby immune cells ...
Phys.org / Tiny titans of recovery: Fossil burrows reveal resilient micro-ecosystem after global mass extinction
An international team of scientists from South Africa, Canada, France and the UK has uncovered fossil evidence of a tiny ecosystem that helped kick-start the recovery of Earth's oceans after a global mass extinction.
Phys.org / Organic solvents enable chirality control in inorganic crystals
Chirality—often described as "handedness"—is a fundamental property of nature, underlying the behavior of molecules ranging from DNA to pharmaceuticals. While chemists have long known how to separate left- and right-handed ...
Phys.org / Cells use dual strategies to fine-tune inflammatory gene activation
Inflammation has to fight pathogens fast—but it can't get out of control. Researchers at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) have now deciphered in more detail how the organism masters this balancing act. Their work ...
Phys.org / Honeycomb lattice sweetens quantum materials development
Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are pioneering the design and synthesis of quantum materials, which are central to discovery science involving synergies with quantum computation. These ...
Phys.org / Revealing the cell's nanocourier at work
An international group of researchers led by Pompeu Fabra University has discovered the nanomachine that controls constitutive exocytosis: the uninterrupted delivery of spherical molecular packages to the cell surface. This ...
Phys.org / Sharks are famous for fearsome teeth, but ocean acidification could make them weaker
Sharks are the most feared predators in the sea, and their survival hinges on fearsome teeth that regrow throughout their lives. But changes in the ocean's chemistry could put those weapons at risk.
Phys.org / When employees feel slighted, they work less, research reveals
A missed birthday. A forgotten anniversary. A milestone that goes unnoticed. These small slights from a manager may seem like no big deal, but new research from Wharton reveals that even the mildest of mistreatment at work ...
Medical Xpress / Super agers tend to have at least two key genetic advantages, study finds
The gene variant posing the greatest genetic risk of late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD) is called APOE-ε4. A different variant of the same gene, APOE-ε2, is thought to confer protection against AD.
