Medical Xpress / Why asthma risk differs by sex: Study links early-life exposures to lung gene networks
A new study has confirmed that male and female lungs are "wired differently" at the molecular level, providing further evidence supporting sex-inclusive respiratory disease research and treatment. The work is published in ...
Medical Xpress / Tiny worm offers clues to combat chemotherapy neurotoxicity
Chemotherapy remains one of the most powerful tools in the fight against cancer, yet it often comes with significant long-term side effects that can dramatically affect patients' quality of life. Among the most debilitating ...
Phys.org / DNA-binding proteins from volcanic lakes could improve disease diagnosis
Scientists have uncovered new DNA-binding proteins from some of the most extreme environments on Earth and shown that they can improve rapid medical tests for infectious diseases. The work has been published in Nucleic Acids ...
Phys.org / Scientists harness nature's chirality bias to design series of complex mechanically interlocked molecules
In nature, molecules often show a strong preference for partnering with other molecules that share the same chirality or handedness. A behavior that is quite evident in the phenomenon known as homochirality-driven entanglement, ...
Medical Xpress / Fragile X study uncovers brainwave biomarker bridging humans and mice
Numerous potential treatments for neurological conditions, including autism spectrum disorders, have worked well in lab mice but then disappointed in humans. What would help is a noninvasive, objective readout of treatment ...
Medical Xpress / Aggressive brain tumors build protective 'sugar shield' to survive extreme stress
For the first time, researchers have identified a previously unrecognized metabolic defense mechanism in aggressive brain tumors: a sugar-rich shield that surrounds tumor cells and protects them against a particularly destructive ...
Medical Xpress / New research results in changes to NHS guidelines
Hundreds of people with advanced bladder cancer across the UK can now receive three rather than six chemotherapy cycles following research by Queen Mary University of London which has led to a change to NHS treatment guidelines. ...
Phys.org / Antarctic magnetic anomaly is a trace of an ancient continental collision, scientists find
Geologists from St. Petersburg State University, as part of an international scientific team, have analyzed rock data from East Antarctica and determined that the magnetic anomaly in this region resulted from the convergence ...
Medical Xpress / Established cancer drug can reactivate immunotherapy
Genetically modified immune cells can offer precious additional time to patients with advanced multiple myeloma. However, these therapies lose their impact as the molecules on cancer cells that immune cells recognize gradually ...
Phys.org / A possible first-ever Einstein probe observation of a black hole tearing apart a white dwarf
On July 2, 2025, the China-led Einstein Probe (EP) space telescope detected an exceptionally bright X-ray source whose brightness varied rapidly during a routine sky survey. Its unusual signal immediately set it apart from ...
