Phys.org / Novel cross-linker streamlines protein complex analysis in living cells
Proteins have specific biological functions in cells through conformational changes and interactions. Therefore, precise, in situ analysis of protein complex changes is essential for understanding cellular functions, uncovering ...
Phys.org / Structural differences in Nasonia wasps linked to evolution, behavior and disease
What can a tiny wasp with a rather gruesome parasitic life cycle teach us about evolution, behavior and human developmental diseases? In a new paper, researchers led by István Mikó and Holly Hoag at the University of New ...
Medical Xpress / Combating brain diseases using polymer-based targeted drug delivery
The human brain comprises billions of neurons, synapses, and cell types, making it one of the universe's most intricate and dynamic structures. However, the complexity and sensitivity of the brain can make it extremely difficult ...
Phys.org / How women step in, and step up, to support their disaster-stricken communities
When flooding strikes, our screens fill with scenes of devastated victims, and men performing heroic dinghy rescues in swollen rivers. But another story often goes untold: how women step in, and step up, to hold their stricken ...
Medical Xpress / DNA markers linked to facial features in Iberian Peninsula population
An EHU study analyzing different genetic markers associated with facial features of the European population has shown a strong link between 10 of these markers and the facial morphology of people from the Iberian Peninsula. ...
Medical Xpress / 'Chaotic and deeply frightening': Once a global gold standard, US government health guidance is falling apart
Weeks after President Donald Trump took office, multiple government webpages referencing gender and sexual orientation abruptly disappeared from the internet.
Phys.org / Webb refines Bullet Cluster mass and maps dark matter distribution
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope recently zeroed in on the Bullet Cluster—delivering highly detailed images that show a greater abundance of extremely faint and distant galaxies than ever before. Using Webb's crisp near-infrared ...
Phys.org / Pair of malaria parasite proteins could lead to targeted therapies
A University of California, Riverside-led team has made an advance in the basic understanding of Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite responsible for the deadliest form of human malaria, that could make novel, highly targeted ...
Medical Xpress / Experimental medication wipes out aggressive brain cancer tumors by targeting cellular 'motors'
A potential treatment for glioblastoma crafted by scientists at The Wertheim UF Scripps Institute renders the deadly brain cancer newly sensitive to both radiation and chemotherapy drugs, and blocks the cancer's ability to ...
Phys.org / Nanoparticle-based targeted delivery unleashes the full power of anti-cancer drugs
A new study details the development of a nanoparticle-based system that delivers concentrated chemotherapy specifically to cancer cells and not normal cells, potentially allowing clinicians to administer higher, more effective ...
Phys.org / New fluorescent probe enables rapid, visible detection of harmful pesticide residues
A team of researchers led by Prof. Jiang Changlong from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a fast and simple way to detect harmful pesticide residues, with results visible ...
Medical Xpress / States that empower advanced practice registered nurses have better health outcomes, new study finds
States that allow highly trained nurses to work independently see better health outcomes than those that require physician supervision, according to a new study.
