Phys.org / Sperm tails and male infertility: Critical protein revealed via ultrastructure expansion microscopy
Male infertility is a major issue worldwide and its causes remain unclear. Now, an international team of researchers led by Hiroki Shibuya at the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research (BDR) in Japan has discovered ...
Phys.org / Over 16,000 dinosaur footprints identified along a Bolivian shoreline
A fossil site in Bolivia preserves thousands of traces of dinosaurs who walked, ran, and swam along an ancient coastline, according to a study by Raúl Esperante of the Geoscience Research Institute, California, U.S., and ...
Medical Xpress / A common childhood virus can drive bladder cancer development
Tackling a common childhood virus could open the door to preventing bladder cancer, according to new research.
Medical Xpress / Adults who want children favor older-looking partners (but not for their money), study suggests
Participants in a study who self-reported a stronger desire to have children showed a weaker preference for younger faces compared to those with a weaker desire to have children, according to a study by Jingheng Li and colleagues ...
Phys.org / Electrical oscillations in microtubules link cytoskeleton to neuronal signaling
Researchers at UT San Antonio have uncovered new details about electrical signals happening within nerve cells, deepening scientists' understanding of the brain.
Phys.org / Social media algorithms target lower-income youth with risky 'easy money' ads, study shows
Young people with fewer financial resources, especially boys, are the most exposed to advertising about how to make easy money. So confirms a pioneering study by Pompeu Fabra University (UPF), which has for the first time ...
Phys.org / The ship-timber beetle's fungal partner: More than just a food source
The ship-timber beetle (Elateroides dermestoides) is a species of ambrosia beetle. Unlike many of its relatives, which are social insects that live in colonies, it is solitary and does not live with other members of its species.
Phys.org / Decoding how the human proteasome recognizes branched ubiquitin chains
Researchers at National Taiwan University have uncovered, for the first time at atomic resolution, how the human proteasome recognizes branched ubiquitin chains. Their finding reveals a multivalent decoding mechanism that ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers reveal complex interactions between heart disease and cancer
A surprising new discovery by Prof. Ami Aronheim and his team at the Technion–Israel Institute of Technology shows that in the absence of anti-cancer treatments, cancer development may actually improve heart function and ...
Phys.org / Open-access platform explores epigenetic regulation of plant long non-coding RNAs
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are RNA transcripts longer than 200 nucleotides that do not code for proteins. Once considered mere transcriptional noise, lncRNAs are now known to play vital roles in plant growth, development, ...
Medical Xpress / The power of gut enzymes: Why healthy eating affects everyone differently
Researchers from the Cluster of Excellence Balance of the Microverse at the University of Jena and the Leibniz-HKI, together with international partners, have uncovered a mechanism that determines how our gut microbiome processes ...
Tech Xplore / Guided learning helps previously 'untrainable' neural networks learn effectively
Even networks long considered "untrainable" can learn effectively with a bit of a helping hand. Researchers at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have shown that a brief period of alignment ...
