Phys.org / Most Australian 'wild dogs' are predominantly dingoes
A new genetic test has revealed that most of the free-roaming canines in Australia, often labeled "wild dogs," carry a significant amount of dingo ancestry. A team of Adelaide University researchers from the Australian Center ...
Phys.org / 'Learning recession' in US schools predates pandemic: Report
A new analysis of student test scores reveals that American schools were in a "learning recession" for seven years before the COVID-19 pandemic, with student test scores in math and reading on a steady decline since 2013. ...
Phys.org / Precision DNA editing targets root cause of severe childhood epilepsy in preclinical study
Gene editing can repair a DNA error in mice that causes Dravet syndrome, a rare, incurable, and potentially deadly form of childhood epilepsy. After the edit, the mice have far fewer seizures and live much longer. As published ...
Medical Xpress / Lab-designed molecule offers hope for celiac disease sufferers
A research project led by the Institute for Research in Nutrition and Food Safety (INSA) and the Faculty of Pharmacy and Food Sciences at the University of Barcelona, together with the Molecular Biology Institute of Barcelona ...
Phys.org / Resilient quantum sensor monitors Earth's magnetic field from space for 10 months
From navigation to solar weather forecasting, many different areas of research require space-based sensors to measure Earth's magnetic field as accurately as possible at any given moment. So far, however, existing sensors ...
Phys.org / New alien-life test could help Mars and Europa missions read organic molecules
For decades, the search for life beyond Earth has revolved around a key question: What molecules should scientists be looking for on other planets or moons? A new study, published in Nature Astronomy, suggests that the more ...
Tech Xplore / Wall design centers experience of deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals
According to many deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals, clarity—not volume—is one of the most challenging parts of understanding speech in enclosed spaces. In many types of rooms, sound reflecting off multiple walls muddies ...
Medical Xpress / Diagnostic marker aids diagnosis for aggressive prostate cancer
The FOXA1 protein is a potentially highly sensitive diagnostic marker for small cell carcinoma of the prostate and possibly other aggressive prostate cancer subtypes that are difficult to diagnose due to a loss of traditional ...
Medical Xpress / New drug candidate that reprograms the immune system shows promise as a brain cancer treatment
A next-generation cancer therapy being developed at McMaster University has shown early promise as a treatment candidate for glioblastoma, the most aggressive and most common type of primary brain cancer in adults. In preclinical ...
Phys.org / The stability paradox: How do organisms change shape over the course of evolution?
Researchers at the Technion have discovered how changes in genetic regulatory sequences can lead to alterations in the form and structure of animals—even when genetic regulatory systems are stable and resistant to change. ...
Medical Xpress / Not just an energy drink: National study finds kratom use is rising
A national study of kratom use in the U.S. found rising popularity among young adults, and it is linked to addiction and mental health issues, according to new research from the University of Michigan and Texas State University. ...
Tech Xplore / Adjusted heating process makes batteries last longer
To make batteries that last longer, scientists are creating internal battery structures that don't degrade as quickly as current designs do. In fact, the reason many lithium-ion batteries ultimately fail is that their cathodes, ...
