Medical Xpress / New model improves prediction of prostate cancer death risk
A new long-term prediction tool estimates the risk of dying from prostate cancer, offering a more accurate way to interpret prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test results compared to existing models. The tool, tested on over ...
Phys.org / How marine viruses help fuel underwater oxygen-rich zones
Newly published interdisciplinary research led by the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and University of Maryland shows that viral infection of blue-green algae in the ocean stimulates productivity in the ecosystem and ...
Phys.org / Surface ceramics reveal self-sufficient rural economy in Ancient Samos
An international team of researchers has uncovered hidden clues about life in the hills of ancient southwest Samos, Greece.
Medical Xpress / Researchers uncover how E. coli bacteria sneak into the prostate
A research team at the University of Würzburg has, for the first time, uncovered how E. coli bacteria sneak into the prostate. The study opens the door to potential new treatments for bacterial prostatitis.
Medical Xpress / T cells gain superior memory through new reprogramming method, boosting cancer-fighting abilities
Georgetown University's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers have identified a new way to reprogram T cells, which are infection and tumor-fighting white blood cells, so that they have a superior memory, thereby ...
Phys.org / How hidden factors beneath Istanbul shape earthquake risk
The fault beneath Istanbul doesn't behave the way scientists once thought.
Medical Xpress / Using rare sugars to address alcoholism
While investigating the FGF21-oxytocin-dopamine system, a mechanism that regulates sugar appetite, a team of researchers at Kyoto University noticed reports suggesting that the protein FGF21 may regulate alcohol ingestion.
Phys.org / Overlooked decline in grazing livestock brings risks and opportunities
For decades, researchers have focused on the problem of overgrazing, in which expanding herds of cattle and other livestock degrade grasslands, steppes and desert plains. But a new global study reveals that in large regions ...
Phys.org / A new valve for quantum matter: Steering chiral fermions by geometry alone
A collaboration between Stuart Parkin's group at the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics in Halle (Saale) and Claudia Felser's group at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids in Dresden has realized ...
Medical Xpress / Axonal protein synthesis defect identified as potential early driver in ALS progression
Researchers at VIB and KU Leuven have identified a molecular process that allows motor neurons to maintain protein production, a process that fails in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The study, published in Nature Neuroscience, ...
Medical Xpress / Whole-genome sequencing may optimize PARP inhibitor use for cancer patients
A whole-genome sequencing approach shows early promise over current commercial methods for identifying more patients likely to benefit from PARP inhibitor cancer treatments, according to a study led by Weill Cornell Medicine ...
Medical Xpress / Eye gel injection restores vision in patients with rare low-pressure condition, finds study
A new study demonstrates the effectiveness of a widely-used eye injection to manage the previously untreatable rare condition, hypotony, in a project by clinical researchers at UCL and Moorfields Eye Hospital.
