Medical Xpress / Brain tumors: 3D experimental system to evaluate candidate drugs against glioma
Glioma is a tumor of the central nervous system that originates from glial cells, which support neurons in the brain. In the less aggressive, slow-progressing forms, gliomas are often found in children and youth. Glial tumors ...
Tech Xplore / Safer, water-based zinc-ion battery delivers 900-cycle durability
Researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering have developed a rechargeable zinc-ion battery that uses low-cost materials and a simplified water-based assembly process to make safer, reliable batteries. The approach ...
Medical Xpress / Flu treatment shields lungs, cuts pneumonia risk
A new flu treatment could drastically reduce one of flu's deadliest complications—bacterial pneumonia—by helping the lungs defend themselves, rather than targeting the virus directly. Influenza specialist Associate Professor ...
Phys.org / How a common herbicide affects honeybee brains and behavior
Cultivating flowering plants for pollinator gardens, commercial farms, or home landscapes often relies on the use of herbicides to manage unwanted weeds. Honeybees are attracted to these locations and play a critical role ...

Rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus type 2 is a terrible way for any animal to die, especially creatures as gentle as these. Highly contagious and lethal, it threatens wild and domestic rabbits. First detected in the United ...
Medical Xpress / Detecting multiple cancers and other diseases from a single blood sample
UCLA scientists have developed a simple and cost-effective blood test that, in early studies, shows promise in detecting multiple cancers, various liver conditions and organ abnormalities simultaneously by analyzing DNA fragments ...
Phys.org / Tiny plankton have big impact on harmful algal bloom predictions, data reveal
As climate change intensifies harmful algal blooms worldwide, an international team led by Hiroshima University has developed a hybrid modeling approach that combines algal movement simulations, AI, and long-term monitoring ...
Phys.org / Traveling tropical disturbance increases rainfall across the Hawaiian Islands
A new study by researchers at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa revealed that the Madden–Julian Oscillation (MJO), a large-scale tropical disturbance that travels eastward through the tropics every 30–60 days, significantly ...
