Medical Xpress / Diabetes drug metformin may echo the benefits of exercise in prostate cancer care
A new study has found that metformin, a widely prescribed diabetes drug, may mimic one of exercise's core biological effects in men with prostate cancer, raising levels of a molecule tied to energy balance and weight control ...
Phys.org / Green skepticism indirectly reduces intention to purchase sustainable products, says study
Skepticism about claims regarding sustainability reduces consumers' intentions to purchase sustainable products by weakening two important drivers of green consumption: people's willingness to look for trustworthy environmental ...
Medical Xpress / How does mitochondrial DNA influence human health?
Some of your most important life partners are the mitochondria that power all your cells. You and these little cellular powerhouses are in a 1.5-billion-year-old evolutionary relationship—but mitochondria brought some baggage. ...
Phys.org / Dual-drug nanotherapy crosses blood–brain barrier, improving survival in preclinical glioblastoma models
Mayo Clinic researchers developed an experimental nanotherapy that delivers two cancer drugs directly to brain tumors, according to a study published in Communications Medicine. The strategy extended survival in preclinical ...
Phys.org / Cell 'snowball' may be answer to large-scale tissue engineering
Cell cultures—single layers of cells grown in a small dish—have enabled researchers to study biological growth, develop or test drugs and even discover what causes some diseases. Cell spheroids, 3D versions of cell cultures ...
Phys.org / Robotic floats uncover hidden ocean chemistry in low-oxygen zones
Scientists have found a new way to detect subtle chemical signatures in seawater, revealing previously invisible details about the ocean's chemistry from data continuously collected by thousands of autonomous robotic floats ...
Phys.org / More dives, fewer reef sharks: Caribbean study links tourism pressure to shark sightings
Reef sharks are observed less frequently on Caribbean reefs that have high levels of diving activity and greater coastal development, according to new research published in the Journal of Applied Ecology. Even recreational ...
Tech Xplore / Too many cooks, or too many robots? Finding a Goldilocks level of randomness to keep robot swarms moving
Picture a futuristic swarm of robots deployed on a time-sensitive task, like cleaning up an oil spill or assembling a machine. At first, adding robots is advantageous, since many hands make light work. But a tipping point ...
Phys.org / Structural color can now be printed with an inkjet printer
While traditional printer pigments fade and most structural color can't be printed, Kobe University material engineer Sugimoto Hiroshi has been working on nothing short of a revolution in the way color is produced.
Tech Xplore / New software could cut cooling energy use by 25% in data centers
Data centers consume millions of homes' worth of electricity each year, with much of that electricity simply powering the cooling systems that keep the facilities operational. Researchers at Penn State are addressing this ...
Phys.org / Artemis mission approaches lunar loop for first flyby since 1972
The Artemis astronauts entered the final phase of their run-up to a lunar loop on Monday, a tipping point of sorts that means the moon's gravity is now having a stronger pull on the spacecraft than Earth's.
Medical Xpress / Sleep patterns may reveal hidden heart risks
People whose sleep apnea changes dramatically from night to night are 30% more likely to have a heart attack, stroke, or heart failure, reveals a new study from Flinders University. The research, published in the journal ...
