Phys.org / Fish 'steals' glowing protein: Genome sequencing proves unique survival strategy
In a striking example of nature's ingenuity, a collaborative research team has revealed that a bioluminescent fish glows not by producing its own light-emitting molecules, but by "stealing" them from its prey. Details of ...
Tech Xplore / AI-driven discovery bottleneck: Scientific evidence trapped in a predigital system
A new article published in the News and Perspectives section of the Journal of Medical Internet Research, showcases the urgent need to modernize the scientific record. The article, "Our AI-Powered Discoveries Are Trapped ...
Phys.org / Longer wildfire seasons pose an increasing threat for species under climate change
Wildfires are becoming more frequent and are ravaging new parts of the world due to global warming. A study led by researchers from the University of Gothenburg shows that this change is increasing the vulnerability of thousands ...
Medical Xpress / Transcription factors form continuous 'circuit' that regulates T-cell exhaustion
Scientists have discovered how two transcription factors form a reciprocal regulatory circuit that controls T-cell exhaustion and migration during viral infection, which may inform future therapeutic strategies for managing ...
Phys.org / Scientists discover a 1,200-year-old Fijian island likely built from discarded shellfish remains
Located off the coast of Culasawani, in the Fiji archipelago, is an island that is made up of materials that might be part of someone's dinner. A recent study took a closer look at the 3,000-square-meter island and discovered ...
Phys.org / 'Morale boost': NASA carries out Moon mission during tough year for science
As the four Artemis astronauts approached a high point of their lunar mission—getting slung around the far side of the moon—NASA staffers crowded into Houston's famed mission control room Monday for a team photo.
Phys.org / Engineered tobacco plant can produce five psychedelics, including psilocybin and DMT
Compounds in psychedelic drugs like DMT, psilocybin, and psilocin are naturally produced in certain plants, fungi, and animals, and have a long history of use in spiritual and therapeutic contexts. Now, a considerable amount ...
Medical Xpress / A natural molecule present in the human body protects against the flu
A research team led by the Fisabio Foundation has demonstrated that dermcidin, an antimicrobial peptide produced constitutively by the human body, also exhibits antiviral activity against the influenza virus. The study also ...
Phys.org / If life exists in Venus's atmosphere, it could have come from Earth
The theory of panspermia holds that life is spread through the cosmos via asteroids, comets, and other objects. When the building blocks of life emerge on one planet, impacts can eject surface material into space, which then ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers start to clarify the likelihood of recovery after alcohol-associated hepatitis
Returning to drinking after alcohol-associated hepatitis (AH) is closely related to recurrent liver disease and death. Of those hospitalized for AH, 30% die within 90 days. Among the survivors, alcohol use is key to outcomes. ...
Phys.org / Stopping algae blooms with bacteria-busting buoys
Algae blooms make a pond's surface shine in mesmerizing green hues. But if the microorganisms responsible are cyanobacteria, they can also release toxins that harm humans and wildlife alike. A team reporting in ACS ES&T Water ...
Phys.org / High nickel concentrations in Martian bedrock point to potential biosignatures
In 2024, NASA's Perseverance rover found surprising levels of Nickel in the Martian bedrock of an ancient river channel, called Neretva Vallis, which flowed into the Jezero crater. A new study, published in Nature Communications, ...
