Medical Xpress / Wnt signaling drives stomach cancer spread by reshaping surrounding tissue, finds study
Researchers at the Cancer Research Institute and the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, have uncovered a critical mechanism that enables gastric cancer to spread to distant organs. Their study ...
Phys.org / Electric field tunes vibrations to ease heat transfer
New research from the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, in collaboration with The Ohio State University and Amphenol Corporation, challenges conventional understanding about controlling heat flow in solid ...
Phys.org / With Evo 2, AI can model and design the genetic code for all domains of life
The DNA foundation model Evo 2 has been published in the journal Nature. Trained on the DNA of over 100,000 species across the entire tree of life, Evo 2 can identify patterns in gene sequences across disparate organisms ...
Medical Xpress / Index provides flu risk for each state
Infectious disease can afflict a population in complex ways. Understanding the varying risks is an equally complex challenge. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) offers a general metric for assessing the ...
Medical Xpress / PET imaging study reveals how ketamine relieves treatment-resistant depression
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide, and approximately 30% of patients develop treatment-resistant depression (TRD), a condition that does not respond adequately to conventional ...
Medical Xpress / Creating less trippy, more therapeutic 'magic mushrooms'
Psilocybin—the psychoactive compound in "magic mushrooms"—is gaining scientific attention for its potential in treating neuropsychiatric conditions including depression, anxiety, substance use disorders and certain neurodegenerative ...
Phys.org / Making mini-lightning in a block of plastic
Lightning formation and the conditions triggering it have long been shrouded in a cloud of mystery, but new research led by Penn State scientists is lifting the fog. Using mathematical calculations, the researchers have discovered ...
Phys.org / Tiny Purgatorius fossils in Denver Basin hint at early primate spread southward
New minuscule fossils of Purgatorius, the earliest-known relative of all primates—including humans—have been unearthed in a more southern region of North America than ever before, and the breakthrough is providing paleontologists ...
Tech Xplore / Tiny thermometers offer on-chip temperature monitoring for processors
The semiconductor chips driving modern-day computer processors are covered in billions of individual transistors, each of which can overheat under stress, causing steep drops in performance. To address this, a team led by ...
Tech Xplore / Carbon nanotube fiber 'textile' heaters could help industry electrify high-temperature gas heating
A cross-disciplinary team at Rice University has developed a new type of electric heating element—one that looks less like a traditional metal coil and more like a high-performance thread. In a study published in Small, ...
Medical Xpress / Machine learning can predict preeclampsia by week 34 of pregnancy
A machine-learning model developed by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators may provide clinicians with an early warning of a complication that can occur late in pregnancy. Preeclampsia is a sudden onset condition that involves ...
Tech Xplore / 'AI will be the end of us': Is Colm Tóibín right about the threat to creative writing?
In 1950, William Faulkner delivered a famous acceptance speech for the Nobel prize in literature in which he rallied for the "inexhaustible [human] voice" and his belief in its supremacy—not merely to endure but to prevail. ...
