Phys.org / Image: Intermediate spiral galaxy NGC 941
NGC 941 is located approximately 55 million light-years away in the constellation Cetus. This faint galaxy is classified as an intermediate spiral, exhibiting characteristics between a barred spiral with a central bar and ...
Medical Xpress / Clues in the bloodstream reveal the role androgen receptor alterations play in metastatic prostate cancer
A new study using serial liquid biopsies to track how metastatic prostate cancer evolves under treatment pressure showed that androgen receptor (AR) alterations consistently emerged and were linked to poorer outcomes across ...
Phys.org / The most rigid crisis protocols tend to be the least efficient
A study conducted by the Carlos III University of Madrid (UC3M) concludes that effective adaptation in crisis and emergency situations requires teams to accurately understand unfolding events and flexibly use different coordination ...
Tech Xplore / VR game helps police officers manage stress better
Training police officers with a virtual-reality game can significantly improve their ability to regulate stress, even in realistic, high-pressure situations. The VR game, developed at the Donders Institute at Radboud University, ...
Phys.org / Skagerrak's invisible diversity may be lost in silence
Fish caught in the same trawl and sold under the same name may in fact have significant genetic differences. Beneath the surface of the Skagerrak lies a biological diversity that is rarely seen in fishmongers. "If management ...
Medical Xpress / First successes in the development of a gene therapy for incurable LAMA2-related muscular dystrophy
Researchers at the University of Basel have developed a gene therapy that could potentially treat a rare and currently fatal muscle disease in children. The study shows in animal models that a single treatment is sufficient ...
Medical Xpress / Designing calmer workplaces: How pine scent and wood visuals may aid recovery
The scent of wood and visual wood elements reduce stress and significantly enhance recovery and mood indoors. The well-being effects of virtual wooden surfaces are very similar to those of genuine ones. A study carried out ...
Medical Xpress / Rising rates of cosmetic surgery among patients in underrepresented groups
Use of cosmetic surgery by patients of underrepresented racial/ethnic minority patient groups has increased substantially in recent years—well beyond their relative increase in the US population, reports a study in the ...
Medical Xpress / Music may not boost focus or mood during exercise
Music is commonly used during exercise and is often assumed to improve focus, mood, or mental performance. A new systematic review and meta-analysis led by researchers at the Centre of Excellence in Music, Mind, Body and ...
Phys.org / Energy loss triggers quantum thermal Hall-like effect at macroscopic scale
In many quantum materials—materials with unusual electrical and magnetic properties driven by quantum mechanical effects—electrons can organize themselves into Landau levels. Landau levels are essentially quantized energy ...
Phys.org / Russian astronomers observe the eruptive behavior of a young star
Russian astronomers from Moscow State University have performed photometric, polarimetric, and spectroscopic observations of a young star designated IRAS 21204+4913. Results of the new observations, which were published February ...
Medical Xpress / Developing personalized vaccines for cancer via machine learning
Yale researchers have developed a machine learning model, called Immunostruct, that can help scientists create more personalized vaccines, including vaccines for cancer. They described the tool in Nature Machine Intelligence ...
