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 ...
Phys.org / Experts find new way to enhance social media influencer messaging
Influencers and followers together are more effective than influencers alone.
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 / X-ray tracking reveals uneven expansion in young supernova remnant G292.0+1.8
By analyzing data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, Dutch astronomers have investigated a young, oxygen-rich supernova remnant known as G292.0+1.8. Results of the new study, published June 29 on the arXiv preprint server, ...
Tech Xplore / Wherever AI is heading next, older people want a say
Older people are being left out of decisions about how artificial intelligence is being built.
Tech Xplore / Sun-tracking solar panels fold away from hail while lifting output nearly 40%
Researchers led by Armin Buchroithner from the Institute of Electrical Measurement and Sensor Systems at TU Graz have developed an innovative photovoltaic system that combines significantly higher output with protection from ...
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 / New Jurassic dinosaur species identified in Thailand from a single bone
A new study published in Scientific Reports describes the identification of a new species of long-necked dinosaur found in the Phu Kradung Formation in Thailand. The team calls the dinosaur Uragasaurus kalasinensis and says ...
Medical Xpress / New malaria drug candidate shows promise in Phase I trial
The early-stage trial of a potential novel nonartemisinin malaria drug found it rapidly killed malaria parasites and was generally well tolerated in infected volunteers, showing it is a promising candidate for uncomplicated ...
Phys.org / Engineers find a precise way to grow artificial blood vessels
Tissue engineers are finding ways to grow living organs and tissues from cells, with the aim of replacing diseased and damaged counterparts in the body. Scientists have successfully grown artificial muscles, livers, kidneys, ...
Tech Xplore / Driving the speed limit cuts millions in fuel costs, study finds
A nationwide study by researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities reveals that adherence to posted speed limits could dramatically curb U.S. fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, saving Americans billions ...
Phys.org / Disrupting single enzyme gene in herb red perilla produces green plants with enriched health-promoting molecules
Hiroshima University researchers have used genome editing to transform red perilla into a green look-alike and simultaneously restructured the plant's chemistry to boost levels of compounds prized for their potential health ...
