Phys.org / Climate change links Tibetan lakes to Yangtze River, fueling flood risks
Climate change is accelerating the reorganization of river-lake systems on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, reshaping hydrological and ecological processes in the "Asian Water Tower."
Phys.org / RNA 'editing' process offers new clues to why some animals live longer
A collaborative study by scientists at the University of California, Riverside, and University of Southern California reports on how a process known as alternative splicing, often described as "editing" the genetic recipe, ...
Phys.org / Scientists detect new climate pattern in the tropics
Tropical cyclones can unleash extensive devastation, as recent storms that swept over Jamaica and the Philippines made unmistakably clear. Accurate weather forecasts that buy more time to prepare are crucial for saving lives ...
Medical Xpress / Two parallel blood formation systems produce different immune and blood cells
It has only recently become known that two parallel systems of blood formation exist in the body, originating from different precursor cells. Researchers at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) have developed a method ...
Medical Xpress / New study identifies key mechanism driving HIV-associated immune suppression
Researchers from the Institute of Human Virology (IHV) at the University of Maryland School of Medicine have discovered how a specific type of immune cell may contribute to the persistence of HIV infections. The finding offers ...
Phys.org / Scientists map 3D structure of ZAK protein involved in cellular stress response
In an effort to reveal the inner workings of a protein that serves as a cell's damage detection system, scientists at Johns Hopkins and the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich (LMU) have published what is believed to be ...
Medical Xpress / Experimental liver cancer vaccine shows promise for young patients in early trial
An experimental cancer vaccine developed at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center and its Bloomberg~Kimmel Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy has shown early promise in a Phase I clinical trial for a rare form of liver cancer ...
Phys.org / Cities missing out on nature-based solutions that could boost climate resilience, experts warn
With climate change expected to intensify heat waves, flooding and air pollution in cities worldwide, why are we not tapping into the full potential of nature-based solutions?
Phys.org / New CO₂ conversion system slashes energy use and triples formic acid production
A research team affiliated with UNIST has unveiled a novel electrochemical system that converts carbon dioxide (CO₂), a major contributor to climate change, into high-value chemical products, like formic acid. This new ...
Phys.org / Three key pathways identified for scaling up actionable climate knowledge
There's no one-size-fits-all solution to adapting and building resilience to climate change, but a new study led by the University of Michigan offers three generalized pathways to help climate knowledge achieve its maximum ...
Medical Xpress / Rare mutation protects brain's immune cells from Alzheimer's disease
Rutgers neuroscientist Peng Jiang and his neuroscience colleague Mengmeng Jin have made a discovery they say could reshape how scientists think about Alzheimer's treatment.
Tech Xplore / Moisture-driven power generator delivers stable electricity even in dry air conditions
As artificial intelligence (AI) and smart gadgets become more common, our need for reliable power sources grows. Renewable energy options like solar and wind are great, but they depend on specific conditions. A research team ...
