Medical Xpress / Scientists find blood-based biomarkers for inflammatory breast cancer
Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and The University of Texas at Austin have identified specific blood-based genomic biomarkers that distinguish inflammatory breast cancer from other subtypes, ...
Medical Xpress / Optimized formula helps lab-grown heart cells act more like adult tissue
Researchers at the University of Toronto's Institute of Biomedical Engineering have developed a new method to mature lab-grown heart cells, so they more closely resemble adult human heart tissue. By optimizing the chemical ...
Medical Xpress / The slow burn behind type 2 diabetes revealed
More than half a billion people worldwide are living with diabetes, the vast majority with type 2 diabetes (T2D), a chronic condition that continues to rise alongside aging populations and changing lifestyles. Despite its ...
Phys.org / Over 60% of developing countries face overlapping socioeconomic and water security challenges, scientists warn
Unsafe drinking water is not just a technical problem. It is a sign of deeper inequality, concludes a new investigation of the state of water quality in 138 countries by the United Nations University Institute for Water, ...
Phys.org / Chemists capture light-matter hybrid particles traveling long distances
To capture a crisp image of a hummingbird in flight, which can flap its wings up to 200 times per second, a photographer needs a camera with an extremely fast shutter speed. But what if your target is smaller than a single ...
Science X / Even iconic fliers get it wrong: Most birds have not evolved optimal wing-shapes
Even the giant wings of the albatross are not "optimally" shaped for their extraordinary long-distance migrations, according to new University of Bristol research. The study, published in Nature Communications, reveals that ...
Tech Xplore / Researcher explores the hidden science of pipe failure
How do aging cast iron pipes actually start leaking? The School of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering's Edward John is the highlight in a new UK Water Industry Research (UKWIR) video looking at his Ph.D. research ...
Medical Xpress / 1,000 more steps: A simple, powerful prescription for surgical recovery
Researchers analyzing data from the National Institutes of Health's All of Us Research Program have found that a patient's step count following surgery is a powerful, objective predictor of recovery, outperforming other metrics ...
Medical Xpress / Unmasking autism spectrum disorder through its gene-based roots
Two studies led by the Chahrour Lab at UT Southwestern Medical Center shed new light on genes associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), the neurodevelopmental disease characterized by impaired communication, abnormal ...
Medical Xpress / AI pathology framework can enable a deeper understanding of cancer
The digital transformation of pathology is opening up new possibilities for cancer diagnosis. Today's artificial intelligence (AI) techniques now go far beyond mere automation: they make it possible to extract previously ...
Phys.org / Packed together, they melt differently: What happens when one iceberg enters another's icy wake
Earth's ice is melting. As icebergs break away from glaciers and melt away, the fresh meltwater mixes into its saltwater surroundings. However, icebergs do not exist in isolation. In Greenland, for example, jammed collections ...
