Medical Xpress / New scoring tool shows radiation can reprogram pancreatic tumor environment
A new study by researchers at Fox Chase Cancer Center focusing on pancreatic cancer has shown that a new scoring system can provide a single numerical value that reflects whether the tumor microenvironment, the biological ...
Phys.org / Hidden nest cameras debunk long-standing myth about how cuckoos lay their eggs
An international team of ornithologists has overturned one of the oldest assumptions in natural history by directly documenting how common cuckoos lay their eggs in host nests located inside cavities. The findings, published ...
Phys.org / DNA cracks nutmeg's hidden past, revealing a South Moluccas origin and a prehuman journey north
A sprinkle of nutmeg powder on baked goodies or mashed potatoes can immediately lift the flavor with its warm and sweet aroma. Even though it is used globally, not much is known about the true origins of the nutmeg spice ...
Medical Xpress / Autoantibody map uncovers body-wide immune attacks across Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and MS
Researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil discovered that neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and multiple sclerosis, are more complex than previously thought. Their analysis of ...
Medical Xpress / New study examines relationship between parenting and gaming disorder in young children with ADHD
A new Children's Hospital of Philadelphia study examines the relationship between parenting factors and gaming disorder in young children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Findings from the study were ...
Phys.org / Surprising link between metallicity and superconductivity uncovered in twisted trilayer graphene
Superconductivity is a state of matter characterized by an electrical resistance of zero, typically at very low temperatures. Past studies have found that in various materials, this unique state is accompanied by unusual ...
Phys.org / Scientists take a step toward a quantum internet using New York City's fiber
As long as there's been an internet, there's been a way to hack it. Scientists have spent decades imagining a different kind of network, one where the laws of physics make eavesdropping physically impossible, not just technically ...
Phys.org / Hollow-sphere catalyst enables greener production of 99% pure propene at room temperature
The world's appetite for propene (propylene) is growing faster than the chemical industry can keep up. This petrochemical product powers the production of acrylonitrile, propylene oxide, high-velocity fuels, and, most importantly, ...
Medical Xpress / Study finds children in the US die at higher rates than peers in other high-income nations
At every age, children in the United States die at higher rates than peers in other high-income nations, according to a new study from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Findings from the study were presented during the ...
Medical Xpress / Family environment can shape life outcomes across generations
Adopted children who have grown up in more favorable family environments than their siblings are at lower risk of mental health issues, criminality and social problems, benefits that—in some cases—extend to the next generation. ...
Medical Xpress / Death rates on Mount Everest have declined dramatically over the last century, new study finds
A new study analyzing Mount Everest expeditions spanning more than a century has found that death rates among climbers have declined significantly in recent decades—despite a dramatic increase in the number of people attempting ...
Phys.org / LHC decay anomaly reveals possible crack in the Standard Model
Recent findings from research we have been carrying out at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern in Geneva suggest that we might be closing in on signs of undiscovered physics.
