Medical Xpress / Experimental pancreatic cancer vaccine elicits durable immune responses in high-risk participants
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an aggressive cancer that is often diagnosed at advanced stages and carries a low five-year survival rate. Approximately 10% of cases are associated with hereditary predisposition ...
Phys.org / Study reveals Hawaiian hotspot is getting hotter
Contrary to conventional geological thinking, the Hawaiian mantle plume has gotten hotter by about 250°C (480°F) over the past 47 million years. This discovery, led by Earth scientists at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa, ...
Phys.org / Darwin's 150‑year‑old hillside steps mystery may have a new answer from virtual grazing animals
Steep hillsides and mountainsides in many regions worldwide are often covered in characteristic step-like patterns, also known as terracettes. These repeating landforms have fascinated scientists for more than a century, ...
Medical Xpress / Rise of GLP-1s raises long-term affordability questions
As use of GLP-1s surged across the U.S., average total payments per user also climbed sharply, according to a new Northwestern University study that analyzed national trends in GLP-1 use and spending between 2017 and 2022. ...
Tech Xplore / AI analysis links pavement conditions to crash risk
A University of Houston professor of civil and environmental engineering is using artificial intelligence to make roads safer by connecting information that is usually analyzed separately. Lu Gao used AI to analyze large-scale ...
Phys.org / How supermassive black holes feed themselves
Astronomers are closer to solving the mystery of how supermassive black holes feed themselves thanks to new images from the James Webb Space Telescope, or JWST. The images provide the clearest view ever seen of gaseous filaments ...
Medical Xpress / Fertility proteins flip from reproductive role to support survival and growth of cancer cells
Researchers at the University of Liverpool have discovered that SYCP1, a protein previously thought to function only during the production of sperm and eggs, can be reactivated in cancer cells, where it helps tumors survive ...

Medical Xpress / Scientists tame seizures and heal injured brains with gut chemical
The skull heals its cracks, the bruises fade, the swelling subsides and the bleeding stops. From the outside, a traumatic blow to the head, whether from a battlefield blast, car crash or even a tackle gone wrong, may seem ...
Medical Xpress / Stem cell science unlocks more mysteries of the menstrual cycle
Amid all the advances in modern medicine, much of the science behind a woman's menstrual cycle remains mysterious, so a team at Hudson Institute of Medical Research is aiming to change that. Professor Caroline Gargett is ...
Phys.org / Biodiversity boosts productivity most during extreme drought in drier grasslands
When extreme drought strikes, drier grasslands receive the greatest productivity benefit from biodiversity. By contrast, forests did not show the same context-dependent pattern under drought, according to a new global synthesis ...
Phys.org / Researchers define new frontier in quantum materials
Researchers at City College of New York physicist Vinod M. Menon's Laboratory for Nano and Micro Photonics (LaNMP) have outlined an emerging frontier in quantum materials: atomically thin systems in which light, magnetism ...
