Phys.org / Detailed DNA repair snapshots reveal how BRCA-linked cancer cells may survive
Scientists have captured the most detailed structural images to date of a specific type of protein's DNA repair process, a finding that could reveal ways to inhibit the effects of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations that heighten the ...
Phys.org / Researchers discover new reproductive method that will improve cattle production
There are sure signs of spring on the Canadian Prairies—snow melting, pelicans splashing down in the South Saskatchewan River, and the sight of brand-new calves taking shaky first steps in the field. Behind those brand-new ...
Phys.org / Climate policy isn't partisan, and research suggests more on the right support it than oppose it
Climate change has become entangled in partisan politics. In Canada, as in other countries, climate concern and support for climate policy are often coded as left-leaning positions. Meanwhile, climate change skepticism or ...
Tech Xplore / A faster, greener method to recycle lithium-ion batteries can also ease supply chain issues
As global demand for lithium-ion batteries continues to surge, a team of Rice University researchers has developed a faster, more energy-efficient way to recover critical minerals from spent batteries, potentially easing ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers identify how the Dicer enzyme affects infertility and cancer progression
Activation of a specific part of the Dicer enzyme can change its shape in a way that affects its critical role in proper cell division, with implications for both cancer biology and fertility, according to researchers at ...
Medical Xpress / Mechanical forces from the beating heart may help prevent cancer cell growth
Scientists may have discovered another way the human body tries to protect itself from cancer. New research on mice suggests that the heart's constant beating may prevent tumor growth in cardiac tissue. Most organs are vulnerable ...
Tech Xplore / Can AI quantify beauty? New study suggests it can't
Attempts to define human beauty using artificial intelligence may reveal more about bias in data than universal standards, according to a new analysis from the University of Virginia's School of Data Science. Using computer ...
Medical Xpress / Not all Alzheimer's leads to dementia: The mystery of cognitive resilience
Some brains resist Alzheimer's, even when the disease is already present. Researchers at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience have found that this likely depends on how specific brain cells, known as immature neurons, ...
Medical Xpress / Why newborn memory circuits start crowded, then slim down as brains mature
The hippocampus is a key brain region involved in memory formation and spatial orientation. It transforms short-term memories into long-term ones, helping us retain and build upon our experiences. Researchers led by Magdalena ...
Phys.org / New approach to detect ultra-rare part-per-sextillion isotopes could also sharpen dark matter searches
The detection and study of isotopes, atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons, could expand the scope of physics research and enable new scientific discoveries. So far, rare isotopes have been primarily ...
Phys.org / Small differences in cell structures called microtubules determine how well cancer drug performs
A research team from the School of Biomedical Sciences at the LKS Faculty of Medicine, the University of Hong Kong (HKUMed), has uncovered the mechanism underlying how cancer patients respond to a widely used cancer drug, ...
Tech Xplore / Cell phone-based maps could reshape city planning, from bus schedules to traffic hotspots
Understanding how people use the spaces they inhabit—where they live, work, and gather—is key to effective urban planning that meets their needs. For example, knowing which routes are most commonly used to travel from residential ...
