Medical Xpress / CRISPR approach turns oncogene amplification into a weakness in multiple solid tumors
The onset and aggressiveness of cancer are related to the abnormal behavior of certain genes, known as oncogenes. The best-known of these alterations is mutation, but it is not the only one. Sometimes, within a cell, a very ...
Medical Xpress / Can chemo-resistant cancer cells be resensitized?
Overcoming tumor resistance to chemotherapy drugs has long been a challenge for oncology clinicians and researchers. Now, a new study suggests that blocking a key protein, p300, may force damaged cancer cells into a state ...
Phys.org / Sudanese Copts acquired malaria resistance thanks to a rapid evolutionary process, research reveals
An international study investigating the genomic diversity of the Sudanese population reveals that the Copts originating in Egypt—who settled in the country between the seventh and eleventh centuries—have acquired a genetic ...
Phys.org / Global warming is speeding breakdown of major greenhouse gas, research shows
Scientists at the University of California, Irvine have discovered that climate change is causing nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas and ozone-depleting substance, to break down in the atmosphere more quickly than previously ...
Medical Xpress / Americans optimistic about heart health prospects, but face an uphill battle, survey suggests
Americans could be facing an uphill battle when it comes to protecting their heart health as they age, a new Cleveland Clinic poll reveals.
Medical Xpress / Immune 'hijacking' by tumors can predict cancer evolution
Predicting tumor progression is one of the major challenges in oncology. Scientists at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research have discovered that neutrophils, a type of immune cell, ...
Phys.org / CRISPR-based biosensors enable real-time ocean health monitoring
Oceanic ecosystems are increasingly threatened by global warming, which causes coral bleaching, species migration and, through the loss of habitats and biodiversity, food web disruptions on major scales. Also, pollutants ...
Phys.org / Long-period Jupiter-like exoplanet discovered with TESS
Using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), an international team of astronomers has discovered a new extrasolar planet transiting a distant star. The newfound alien world, designated TOI-6692 b, is the size ...
Phys.org / Revealing deformation mechanisms of the mineral antigorite in subduction zones
Earth's surface is covered by more than a dozen tectonic plates, and in subduction zones around the world—including the Japanese Islands—plates converge and dense oceanic plates sink into Earth's interior. These regions, ...
Phys.org / YouTubers love wildlife, but commenters aren't calling for conservation action
YouTube is a great place to find all sorts of wildlife content. It is not, however, a good place to find viewers encouraging each other to preserve that wildlife, according to new research led by the University of Michigan. ...
Medical Xpress / Dual-action molecule design concentrates cancer treatment in tumor cells to allow higher doses
Wistar scientists have combined a promising cancer therapy with a molecule that targets tumors to treat cancer more effectively. The new approach could be a way to deliver treatment directly to tumors at higher doses, while ...
Phys.org / Challenging California's water 'scarcity' narrative
California doesn't have a water scarcity problem. It has a distribution problem, according to Nícola Ulibarrí, whose new research is reshaping how policymakers think about one of the state's most pressing challenges.
