Phys.org / Study uncovers internal cell 'trade winds' that drive movement and repair
Scientists at Oregon Health & Science University have uncovered a previously unknown system of internal "trade winds" that help cells rapidly move essential proteins to the front of the cell, reshaping how researchers understand ...
Phys.org / Antibacterial soaps and wipes can fuel antimicrobial resistance, scientists warn
An international team of scientists is warning that everyday antibacterial soaps, wipes, sprays, and other "germ-killing" products are quietly contributing to the global rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) while providing ...
Medical Xpress / 3 million-cell map shows menopause reshapes breast tissue, possibly raising cancer risk
Scientists have created the most detailed map to date, comprised of over 3 million cells, showing how breast tissue changes as women age—including dramatic changes during menopause.
Phys.org / Phylogenetically diverse Central China proposed as newest global biodiversity hotspot
Taxonomic endemism and phylogenetic endemism are both important measures of biodiversity. The former describes the number of distinct species found nowhere else, whereas the latter shows the amount of evolutionary branch ...
Medical Xpress / Higher‑level brain systems that interpret perception may play a central role in imagination
Imagination is one of the most powerful things our brains can do. We can relive past events while taking a walk, rehearse future conversations through inner speech or sense the heat of a fire without touching it—allowing ...
Medical Xpress / Unexpected findings on lung cancer CT scans may point to other non-lung cancers
When doctors review diagnostic medical scans for lung cancer, they sometimes spot abnormalities unrelated to the lungs. New research shows that some of those abnormalities could be signs of other undiagnosed cancers. The ...
Phys.org / Say what? New study debunks belief that introverts are better listeners
New Minnesota Carlson research debunks the idea that introverts are better listeners than extroverts. In fact, extroverts may have a slight perceived advantage as listeners. The study authors suggest moving past personality-based ...
Medical Xpress / Vaping is likely to cause cancer, say new findings
Nicotine-based vapes (e-cigarettes) are likely to cause cancers of the lung and oral cavity, according to a new study led by UNSW Sydney and published today in Carcinogenesis. The study is titled "The carcinogenicity of e-cigarettes: ...
Phys.org / Wildfires accelerate winter snowmelt in Oregon's western Cascades, study finds
The Pacific Northwest has seen below-normal snow this season—and new research from Portland State University suggests that the region's snowmelt-dependent water resources could face growing challenges in the years ahead as ...
Medical Xpress / Study maps hidden immune signals in type 1 diabetes
Type 1 diabetes researchers have made great progress in understanding the disease in the last two decades, even as a cure remains elusive. Now they have something that benefits any scientific effort. It's a map.
Medical Xpress / Feeling sniffly? New research suggests the immune system has its own daily cycle
New research led by Gregory Pearson, a doctoral student in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences in the College of Natural Sciences, reveals that the brain's immune defenses operate on a daily schedule, a finding ...
Phys.org / Earth from space: Eyes on our moon
In an unusual perspective for an Earth-observing satellite, the Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission captured this image of the moon, Earth's only natural satellite. The Sentinel-2 mission acquired this lunar image by rolling one ...
