The Environment Agency and the University of Stirling have published a new report on the links between phosphorus concentrations and ecology in English rivers. Phosphorus remains one of the most significant pollutants in ...
Medical Xpress / Study maps complex interplay between cells, metabolism, and immunity in breast cancer lymph node metastasis
A recent integrative analysis of single-cell sequencing and single-cell spatial mapping of lymph node metastasis in breast cancer reveals novel mechanisms of the metabolic-immune interaction that drive the spread of breast ...
Phys.org / Scientists develop new model to accurately assess global salt marsh carbon sinks
A research team from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has developed an innovative model to accurately assess the carbon sequestration capacity of global salt marshes, addressing a long-standing ...
Phys.org / A new clue to how the body detects physical force
Every time we feel a gentle tap on the skin, specialized nerve cells convert that physical force into an electrical signal the brain can interpret as touch. While scientists have long known that a protein called PIEZO2 acts ...
Medical Xpress / Why most foods don't trigger allergies: Three common seed proteins may train gut immune tolerance
In little moments like when sipping coffee or licking an ice cream cone, it doesn't seem like your body is pulling off a biological miracle. But it is. That cookie is not you—yet when you put it in your mouth, your body ...
Tech Xplore / Robots that refuse to fail: AI evolves 'legged metamachines' that reassemble and withstand injury
Northwestern University engineers have developed the first modular robots with athletic intelligence. They can be combined and recombined in the wild, recover from injury and keep moving no matter what's thrown at them.
Phys.org / New study reveals differences between 'Demon Slayer' bamboo muzzle and actual bamboo
In storytelling, even small visual details can become unforgettable. In the globally popular anime "Demon Slayer," one such detail is the short bamboo muzzle worn by a central character. It looks simple and believable, just ...

A Gerontological Society of America (GSA) report summarizes survey findings on the readiness of the primary care workforce to adopt digital cognitive assessments (DCAs) for use in the diagnostic process for cognitive impairment ...
Phys.org / Salt may have pushed us further into Snowball Earth 700 million years ago
Our planet plunged into one of the most dramatic climate states in its long history, approximately 720–635 million years ago. During a period geologists call Snowball Earth, ice sheets crept from the poles all the way to ...
Phys.org / Gravitational waves reveal hidden structure of galactic centers
A new study published in Nature Astronomy indicates that the dense, star- and dark-matter–rich environments around supermassive black hole binaries pack on the order of a million solar masses into each cubic parsec. The ...
Medical Xpress / AAAAI: Omalizumab as effective as multifood oral immunotherapy for individuals with food allergy
Individuals with one to three allergenic foods are able to introduce and continue eating allergenic foods at 12 months after multifood oral immunotherapy (mOIT) or omalizumab, according to a study presented at the annual ...
Phys.org / 'Just-shoring' puts justice at the center of critical minerals policy
A clean energy future hinges on minerals such as copper, cobalt, lithium, and rare earth elements. But the race to secure them puts pressure on the places where they are mined. With some supply and processing concentrated ...
