Medical Xpress / Repurposed drugs may improve treatment for infant leukemia
Three clinically available drugs could pave the way for safer and more effective treatments for one of the most aggressive forms of childhood leukemia, a new study published in the journal HemaSphere suggests.
Phys.org / It wasn't just water: The hidden force inside Japan's 2011 tsunami changed everything
Mud-rich coastlines could face a greater tsunami risk, at least that may have been the case for the 2011 Tōhoku-oki tsunami that killed more than 19,000 people and led to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. According ...
Medical Xpress / Antisense oligonucleotide strategy reverses HNRNPH2-related neurodevelopmental disorder
Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have found that they can reverse the effects of HNRNPH2-related neurodevelopmental disorder using antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) in preclinical models. ASOs are short ...
Medical Xpress / Where people get their news influences their beliefs about vaccines, survey finds
People who follow "new right" media outlets are more than twice as likely to be vaccine-hesitant compared to those who never engage with those outlets, a new Johns Hopkins University study finds.
Phys.org / Fluorescent probe lights up centrioles and cilia in living cells across species
Scientists at EPFL have developed CenSpark, a fluorescent probe that makes centrioles and cilia visible inside living cells, helping researchers study cell division, development, and immunity like never before.
Phys.org / LAMOST maps open cluster NGC 1647, linking broad main sequence to differential reddening
Using the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST), astronomers have observed a nearby young open cluster known as NGC 1647. Results of the new observations, presented in a paper published April ...
Phys.org / Uganda's Python Cave reveals how a Marburg virus outbreak could begin
Marburg virus disease (MVD) is a severe and often fatal hemorrhagic disease in humans caused by the Marburg virus. It is carried by Egyptian fruit bats and can spread to people after exposure in caves or mines where they ...
Phys.org / Chernobyl's wildlife: The real story isn't the presence of radiation, it's the absence of humans
"Dogs at Chernobyl are now genetically distinct … thanks to years of exposure to ionizing radiation, study finds."
Phys.org / A new route for plasma-based particle accelerators
Plasma, the fourth state of matter, consists of a gas in which electrons are no longer bound to atoms, which allows electricity to flow freely. When beams of particles moving close to the speed of light travel through plasma, ...
Phys.org / Mysterious gas clouds near Milky Way's black hole now have a likely source
New observations and simulations by a team of researchers led by MPE reveal that a massive binary star near our galaxy's center is responsible for creating a series of enigmatic gas clouds—compact gas clumps that help feed ...
Phys.org / Neutrinos caught on camera: Testing the first prototype of a new elementary particle detector
Some innovations in physics come from entirely new technologies, others from fresh theoretical insights. Others still take shape by bringing together existing tools in new ways, working out how to combine them to outperform ...
Phys.org / Inside 18 years of ape minds, a vast record that may upend how human intelligence began
A pioneering project led by researchers from the University of Stirling and the Max Planck Institute has opened the door for new insights into the evolutionary origins of human intelligence, by compiling the largest dataset ...
