Medical Xpress / Gut 'microbial fingerprints' predict melanoma recurrence with up to 94% accuracy
The specific mix of bacteria living in a person's gut can predict the chances that melanoma will recur after surgery and immunotherapy, which helps immune cells target cancer cells. This is according to a new study led by ...
Medical Xpress / Within primary breast tumors, a high-risk cell state may seed future metastases
Understanding which cells within a tumor will go on to form metastases remains one of the major challenges in cancer research. A study led by the Cell Plasticity in Development and Disease laboratory, headed by Ángela Nieto ...
Phys.org / Emojis trigger brain responses like real faces within 160 milliseconds, study finds
Facial expressions are a fundamental aspect of human social interaction. While emojis are an extremely popular way for people to communicate, very little is known about the psychological response that they can generate. A ...
Phys.org / Sulfur-rich Mercury magmas behave differently than Earth's do
Mercury is a small, rocky planet about which researchers know relatively little. Two missions, taking readings as they passed over the planet, have revealed that Mercury is covered by an iron-poor and sulfur-rich crust. It ...
