Medical Xpress / 3D-printed ATLAS platform helps model cancer cell clusters behind metastasis
Metastasis, the spread of cancer from a primary tumor to other parts of the body, is difficult to study in the lab, in part because researchers lack reliable ways to recreate the conditions cancer cells encounter as they ...
Phys.org / Why no individual is like another when epigenetics come into play
Why do animals behave differently, and what are the consequences of this? A research team from the Collaborative Research Center NC³ at Bielefeld University and the University of Münster now provides a new explanation: epigenetic ...
Tech Xplore / Efficient carbon capture 'viciazite' materials can desorb below 60°C
Capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) before it reaches the atmosphere is a key strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Even though carbon capture technologies have existed for decades, their widespread adoption has been ...
Medical Xpress / Over the past decade, early-stage drug innovation has shifted toward China, researchers find
Early-stage drug development worldwide has nearly doubled over the past decade and shifted from a U.S.-dominated model to a dual hub centered in the United States and China, according to new research described by Georgetown ...
Medical Xpress / New COVID 'Cicada' variant is spreading—what experts want you to know
Another new COVID variant is starting to spread. Health officials say the variant—known as BA.3.2 or "Cicada"—has been quietly circulating for years but is now being detected more often in the United States and around the ...
Medical Xpress / Staying active throughout middle age can cut women's risk of premature death in half
Women who consistently met physical activity guidelines throughout middle age had half the risk of dying from any cause compared to women who remained inactive, according to a paper published in PLOS Medicine by Binh Nguyen ...
Phys.org / Malaria-transmitting mosquitoes in South America are evolving to evade insecticides
Anopheles darlingi mosquitoes—a major vector of malaria in South America—are evolving in response to insecticides, which may make them harder to kill and malaria more difficult to control, according to a new study led by ...
Phys.org / Silicon nanospheres boost WS₂ second-harmonic generation 40-fold while preserving polarization
A research team has demonstrated that silicon nanospheres can strongly enhance second-harmonic generation (SHG) from an atomically thin semiconductor while preserving the circular polarization information tied to its valley ...
Tech Xplore / Why solid-state batteries keep short-circuiting
Batteries that use solid metal as their charge-carrying electrolyte could potentially be a safer and far more energy-dense alternative to lithium-ion batteries. Unfortunately, these solid-state batteries have been plagued ...
Phys.org / China's earliest Bronze Age meteoritic iron artifact unearthed at Sanxingdui sacrificial site
In a study published in Archaeological Research in Asia, Dr. Haichao Li and a team of researchers analyzed the earliest Bronze Age meteoritic iron artifact from southwestern China, the largest found to date in the country. ...
Phys.org / Scientists identify new Fusarium species behind wheat disease outbreak in Ethiopia
Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a destructive disease of wheat that can reduce grain yields and contaminate grain with toxins harmful to humans and livestock. The disease threatens wheat production worldwide and poses ongoing ...
Medical Xpress / Q&A: How much protein is enough?
Protein-maxxing—the social media-fueled trend of maximizing dietary protein at every opportunity—is showing no sign of slowing. That's in part because the federal government has weighed in with nutrition guidelines that emphasize ...
