Medical Xpress / Genetic pathway offers new insight into timing of early brain development
Melbourne researchers have uncovered a critical signaling pathway that controls the timing of brain development, shedding new light on how neurodevelopmental disorders may develop. The research, led by Murdoch Children's ...
Phys.org / Quick action needed as the world is set to get hotter than we hoped
Global temperature rise is set to cross 1.5°C, likely within the next few years, pushing climate risks and impacts to increasingly dangerous heights. But it is still possible to bring temperatures down and achieve the global ...
Phys.org / A new layer of the human genome: Embedded RNA marks may reshape DNA twisting
A new study led by Francesca Storici, a professor in the School of Biological Sciences and faculty member of the Parker H. Petit Institute for Bioengineering and Bioscience, has uncovered an unexpected feature of human DNA ...
Phys.org / US politics is not the world's template for polarization, experts warn
Common global narratives about political polarization are skewed because of an overreliance on literature about the U.S., leaving governments unprepared to tackle the problem at home. In new research led by King's College ...
Phys.org / Five-metal 2D catalysts could convert CO₂ to CO without needing an extra electrical boost
Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is usually discussed as something the world needs to get rid of. Activities such as the burning of fossil fuels for daily use, including electricity and transportation, and industrial applications release ...
Phys.org / NASA rocket takes first multi-point look inside radio-disrupting clouds
High above Earth, thin veils of metallic haze drift through the edge of space. Known as sporadic E layers, these high-altitude "clouds" form from the vaporized dust of burned-up meteors, earning their name from the unpredictable ...
Medical Xpress / Less-intensive drug combination is more effective in treating acute myeloid leukemia, clinical trial finds
Investigators from the Mass General Brigham Cancer Institute have found that adults with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) receiving a less-intensive combination of azacitidine and venetoclax had more than twice ...
Medical Xpress / Childhood sleep apnea: When snoring is more than a noisy night
A child who snores loudly every night might seem like a funny sight. But if that snoring accompanies repeated narrowing or blockage of the airway, the effects can reach far beyond a noisy night.
Phys.org / New 'devil flower' species discovered in Thai national park
Researchers have described a new species of leafless flowering plant found on the forest floor of a national park in western Thailand, and its otherworldly appearance has earned it a fittingly dramatic name: Thismia daemona, ...
Medical Xpress / Alcohol-linked cancer's toll extends far beyond the liver, with deaths rising across age groups
Alcohol-attributable cancer deaths in the U.S. doubled between 1990 and 2023, a new study found. The study also revealed that alcohol-linked cancer deaths are not limited to older adults or liver cancer. Among adults ages ...
Phys.org / Crash in dugong population estimates, a warning sign governments can't ignore
A 50% decline in the Gulf of Carpentaria dugong population estimate is a wake-up call for urgent action to protect dugongs in the Gulf, based on surveys undertaken by researchers from James Cook University, Charles Darwin ...
Medical Xpress / Powerful new tool reveals potential 'goldmine' of cancer targets hidden in 'junk DNA'
A QIMR Berghofer-led team has developed a powerful tool to explore and understand the mysterious workings of the vast region of the human genome once dismissed as "junk DNA," discovering thousands of molecules that could ...
