Medical Xpress / A black licorice compound slashes gut inflammation and cell death in IBD models and animals
A new study published in Stem Cell Reports demonstrates how a human stem cell-derived model of the intestine can be used to identify potential therapies for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), highlighting glycyrrhizin as a ...
Medical Xpress / Global trial shows novel treatment for triple-negative breast cancer nearly doubles survival
A global, multicenter phase III trial, TROPION-Breast02, led by a senior medical oncologist and researcher from the National Cancer Centre Singapore, has demonstrated a significant breakthrough in improving the survival of ...
Medical Xpress / Nerve growth factor alone triggers osteoarthritis-like joint changes in healthy mice
Nerve growth factor (NGF) is a specialized protein, also called a neurotrophin, that is critical for the development and survival of nerves responsible for our senses and the body's fight-or-flight response. While the presence ...
Phys.org / How farming changed us: Ancient DNA reveals natural selection sped up in recent human evolution
A massive study of ancient DNA from nearly 16,000 people across more than 10,000 years in West Eurasia reveals that natural selection has shaped modern human genomes far more than previously thought.
Phys.org / 'Dancing jets' from black hole reveal an immense power equivalent to 10,000 suns
New Curtin University-led research has used a radio telescope that spans Earth to snap images that measure the immense power of jets from black holes, confirming scientists' theories of how black holes help shape the structure ...
Phys.org / Can we trust the science shaping our lives?
Improved methods for social and behavioral sciences research could help enhance public trust in science, says a new study that investigated the robustness of data analysis to understand whether it reliably stood the test ...
Phys.org / Global N2Onet aims to cut farm nitrous oxide emissions with shared data
Nitrogen (N) fertilizer supports global agriculture, but its use and overuse drive emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), a potent and long-lived trace gas. Incomplete understanding of N2O flux drivers makes it difficult to make ...
Medical Xpress / Confirmed precursor to commonest form of esophageal cancer offers opportunities to catch the disease early
Scientists have found the strongest evidence to date that a condition known as Barrett's esophagus is the starting point for all cases of esophageal adenocarcinoma—the most common type of esophageal cancer in the developed ...
Phys.org / eROSITA disentangles the solar system's X-ray glow from deep-space signals
Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics scientists have been able to disentangle the X-ray glow originating in our solar system from similar emission reaching us from deep space, using data from the SRG/eROSITA ...
Tech Xplore / Oxygen anchoring unlocks air-stable solid-state batteries with faster charging
Expectations are rising for all-solid-state batteries—the "dream battery" with low fire risk—not only for electric vehicles but also for various fields such as robotics and Urban Air Mobility (UAM). A research team at KAIST ...
Medical Xpress / Reproductive justice framework is essential to addressing inequities in high-risk pregnancy care, argue researchers
A new commentary in Reproductive Health calls for fetal condition care to be reframed through a reproductive justice (RJ) lens, arguing that systemic inequities, not just medical factors, shape the options available to families. ...
Phys.org / Space telescopes track nearby quasar's dramatic X-ray state transition
By analyzing the data from various space observatories, Chinese astronomers have inspected a nearby quasar designated SDSS J000532.84+200717.4. Results of the new study, published April 1 on the arXiv preprint server, shed ...
