An imbalance in the bacteria found in men's semen was linked to substantially lower chances of a couple having a baby and to more pregnancy losses, according to new research published in The Lancet Obstetrics, Gynaecology, ...
Phys.org / Scientists build 'cell villages' to map the genetics of brain cell fitness
How readily a cell divides and how well it survives are fundamental to life, shaping everything from organ size to the body's ability to withstand disease. That combination, known as cell fitness, isn't the same for everyone. ...
Medical Xpress / Regular checks sustain high participation for children with inherited cancer risk
Children born with a pathogenic variant in the TP53 gene, known as Li-Fraumeni syndrome, have a markedly increased risk of developing various types of cancer, often at a young age. Therefore, they undergo regular surveillance ...
Medical Xpress / Turning a common oncogene's metabolic grip on cancer cells into a fatal weakness
For all its persistence as an adversary, aggressive breast cancer carries a weakness of its own making. A University of Helsinki research group has been investigating where this weakness comes from and how it can be exploited. ...
Medical Xpress / Like Zika, Oropouche virus can also affect the brains of unborn babies

The most important people in a clinical trial may be the ones who never join it. Every "no" in a clinical trial is usually treated as the end of a conversation, but a new MUSC study suggests it might be the beginning of an ...
Phys.org / Unexpected bond-breaking order reveals a new path to bioluminescence
The dancing lights of fireflies and the eerie blue sparkle in crashing waves get their glow when a molecular square of carbon and oxygen atoms breaks. New research from Stanford University has shown that mechanical force ...
Phys.org / Bringing it all into focus—computational microscope captures 25.2 billion pixels per second across a wide field of view
When designing microscopes, optical engineers have long faced a trade-off between speed, field of view and resolution. But improving one of these properties typically comes at the expense of another. Now, a UC Berkeley–led ...
