Medical Xpress / Cancer's malignant remote control: How tumors reprogram liver fat metabolism to disarm immune cells
In their quest to understand how cancers take root, grow and spread, scientists have for the past half-century explored the genetic aberrations and microenvironmental peculiarities of tumors and their constituent cells. Such ...
Medical Xpress / EFHD1 may turn fatty liver disease into injury, with inhibition reducing scarring by up to 60%
Obesity-related metabolic liver disease affects hundreds of millions of people worldwide, but only some of those livers develop scarring, become inflamed and eventually fail. University of Utah researchers have identified ...
Tech Xplore / Worn traffic signs fool AI vision systems, exposing autonomous-driving risks
In computer vision and robotics, ensuring that AI systems remain reliable under real-world conditions is a growing challenge. Deep neural network (DNN)-based vision systems are increasingly used in safety-critical applications ...
Phys.org / Kaikōura erosion monitoring holds answers for world's rock coastlines
Erosion rates on parts of the Kaikōura Peninsula more than doubled after the 2016 earthquake, showing major quakes can "rapidly alter" the way coastlines evolve, an Otago researcher says.
Phys.org / Primary school food provision 'complex, fragmented and lacking central oversight', study reveals
A lack of central oversight and shifting catering models in primary schools could be putting children's dietary health at risk, according to new research led by the University of York.
Medical Xpress / Men with low or high testosterone may have a higher risk of irregular heartbeat, review indicates
Men with either low or high testosterone levels may face a higher risk of atrial fibrillation, highlighting the need for personalized testosterone treatment, according to a review of existing evidence on testosterone and ...
Phys.org / Some of Australia's biggest companies are planning for an unbearable climate future
Even as unprecedented fires and heat waves rage across Europe, scientists track the retreat of Antarctic sea ice and a supercharged El Niño system heads our way, Australia's largest companies are forecasting business as usual ...
Medical Xpress / Major study reveals key differences in bowel cancer before and after age 50
One of Australia's largest real-world studies of younger adults with advanced bowel cancer has identified important differences between cancers diagnosed before and after age 50, which could help doctors tailor treatments ...
Phys.org / AI streamlines search for new ceramics that generate electricity
A tedious process of trial and error is normally required to discover ceramic materials that generate electricity under mechanical stress. Known as piezoelectric ceramics, these valuable next-generation materials can replace ...
Medical Xpress / Three distinct BMI trajectories identified in people with type 2 diabetes
A study by the University of Eastern Finland identified three distinct body mass index (BMI) trajectories among people with type 2 diabetes. Over the 10-year follow-up period, the BMI trajectories were associated with significant ...
Phys.org / Light reveals internal motion in electron crystals and can trigger their melting
Electrons, particles that carry a negative electric charge, typically move through materials. At low densities and temperatures, however, the electrical repulsion between them can overpower their tendency to move, prompting ...
Phys.org / Reconstructed Jurassic insect calls evoke a 165-million-year-old forest soundscape
The sights and sounds of the Jurassic era are long gone, and we will never know for sure what that ancient world looked and sounded like. Fossils can offer clues, and reconstructions can give us a sense of the noises some ...
