Medical Xpress / Researchers identify proteins fueling rare childhood leukemia, revealing new treatment strategy
Indiana University School of Medicine cancer researchers have identified a potential way to use existing, accessible drugs to combat juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) by targeting a specific inflammatory pathway. The ...
Phys.org / 2,700-year-old standing stone may provide fresh evidence for King Hezekiah's religious reforms
A new study by Prof. Avraham Faust of Bar-Ilan University's Department of General History presents new evidence that may shed light on one of the most debated questions in the study of Israelite religion: Did King Hezekiah's ...
Phys.org / Female chickadees seek cognitively skilled males for extra‑pair matings, study shows
Female chickadees living in monogamous mating systems will proactively seek out males that have better cognitive skills than their nest mate, according to new findings.
Medical Xpress / Caregivers of children hospitalized for cancer, blood disorders at risk for food insecurity, researchers find
Researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine found caregivers of children hospitalized for cancer and blood disorders may experience food insecurity during their child's stay, even if they don't face that issue ...
Phys.org / Revealing how and when a black hole's mighty winds can squash star formation
Thanks to the X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission, or XRISM, University of Michigan researchers are helping chip away at one of astronomy's cosmic mysteries: The universe's most massive galaxies appear to be missing stars.
Phys.org / Tropical Cyclone Arthur weakens to a low pressure area along the upper Texas coast
Tropical Storm Arthur was downgraded to a low pressure area along the upper Texas coast Wednesday night but forecasters expected its remnants to bring life-threatening flooding and days of heavy rains to parts of the southeastern ...
Phys.org / Distant ocean temperatures found to influence snowfall in Antarctica
Snowfall deep inside East Antarctica has increased in recent decades, and distant ocean temperature changes may be partly responsible. Using long-term climate data and observations from Dome Fuji station, researchers found ...
Phys.org / Most precise measurement of the force that binds nuclear matter achieved
Trinity's Prof. Stefan Sint, along with collaborators from Germany, Spain and Italy, has published the most precise determination to date of the strong coupling constant. This parameter governs the interactions between quarks ...
Medical Xpress / Many cancers originate from a single cancer cell and evolve through early bursts of chromosome changes
A comprehensive multi-cancer study by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has revealed that cancer cells within tumors are genetically diverse, yet all carry the same core genetic changes that ...
Phys.org / Cockatoos learn when touchscreen rewards 'die,' then apply rule to new contexts
For humans, death is surrounded by culture, emotion, ritual and language. But the question can be framed in a much more basic way: What would an animal have to understand in order to recognize that someone has died?
Phys.org / Observation of living cells solves mystery of bacterial cell division
Using an innovative combination of biochemical experiments and ultra-high-resolution microscopy, a research team at Kiel University has solved the long-standing mystery of how the bacterium B. subtilis regulates its cell ...
Tech Xplore / Engineered van der Waals crystal mimics neuronal cells with light-driven learning
A research team led by Professor Taesung Kim of the School of Mechanical Engineering at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) has developed an optoelectronic synaptic device that mimics the functions of human neurons and synapses ...
