Medical Xpress / Many men may not need long-term hormone therapy for prostate cancer, study suggests
A study co-led by investigators at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center found that most of the benefits of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for prostate cancer occur within the first 9 to 12 months. Extending ...
Medical Xpress / Collaborating minds think alike, processing information in similar ways in a shared task, study shows
Whether great minds think alike is up for debate, but the collaborating minds of two people working on a shared task process information alike, according to a study published in PLOS Biology by Denise Moerel and colleagues ...
Medical Xpress / Research challenges idea that gene PTPN22 boosts production of interferons
A new paper from the University of Kansas overturns the idea that a "risk gene" carried by millions of people worldwide influences production of type 1 interferon, a workhorse of the immune system. The work is published in ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists develop one-product-fits-all immunotherapy for pancreatic cancer
Pancreatic cancer is among the deadliest forms of cancer, with most patients diagnosed after the disease has already spread throughout the body. The five-year survival rate for metastatic cases hovers around 2–3%, and median ...
Medical Xpress / Bringing AI into the NICU: How algorithms may help infants' eyes, health
When ophthalmologist Emily Cole, MD, steps into the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Children's Hospital Colorado to evaluate an infant's eyes for a disease called retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), it's not uncommon ...
Tech Xplore / The world's most efficient solar cell: Chinese researchers explain how they designed and built it
Earlier in 2025, Chinese solar manufacturer Longi announced it had built the world's most efficient solar cell. The hybrid interdigitated back-contact (HIBC) cell achieved 27.81% efficiency, which was verified by Germany's ...
Phys.org / Covalent organic frameworks grown through coupling reactions unlock new class of semiconducting magnets
Chemists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a methodology to enable coupling reactions for the growth of crystalline porous covalent organic frameworks, unlocking a new class of semiconducting magnets. ...
Phys.org / Research helps untangle the complexity of small-scale fisheries
By classifying small-scale fisheries into five broad types, a Stanford-led study helps clarify a diverse sector essential to global nutrition and local economies.
Phys.org / Electrocatalyst recycles a common pollutant to make ammonia production greener
Ammonia fuels agriculture, supports industry, and is increasingly viewed as a key player in future clean-energy systems. Yet producing it is heat and pressure intensive. A research team has developed an electrocatalyst that ...
Phys.org / Earth system models overstate carbon removal: New findings suggest nitrogen fixation is 50% lower than thought
High levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide intensify climate change, but high carbon dioxide levels can also stimulate plant growth. Plant growth removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, partially mitigating the effects ...
Phys.org / Growing human organs for medical implants: New method gives human stem cells an edge in chimeric embryos
Scientists have discovered a method of helping human stem cells thrive in an animal embryo—a key development in efforts to grow human organs in animals for medical transplants.
Phys.org / Surprising twist: Chirality in polymers enhances conductivity after doping
A new study marks a significant step forward in positioning synthetic polymers as an alternative to expensive, unsustainable minerals used in the manufacture of devices such as conductors, transistors and diodes.
