Phys.org / Sustained pressure halts cancer cell migration and triggers death in 3D lab models
The growth and death of cancer cells in the lab are studied primarily in two-dimensional cell cultures. In a study published in the journal Developmental Cell on Oct. 14, researchers instead used three-dimensional models ...
Medical Xpress / How heart failure reshapes bone marrow to create inflammation-related immune memory
Heart failure (HF) is a condition in which the heart is not able to pump blood effectively. However, its effects go beyond pumping and circulation. HF is also known to cause a lasting form of innate immune memory in stem ...
Phys.org / Major cities worldwide are sinking, satellite data reveal
Land subsidence is the gradual sinking of the ground, which can damage buildings, foundations, and drainage and sewage systems, and may increase flood risks. However, information on land subsidence dynamics remains limited, ...

Phys.org / Fighting off microbial invasions drains plants' iron stores, but one protein helps restore balance
Energy production in our cells, oxygen traveling in our blood and immune cells fighting infection all depend on iron, an essential mineral that enters the food chain when plants absorb it from soil. But iron is often scarce—likely ...
Medical Xpress / Molecular glue degraders show early promise in reducing Alzheimer's-linked brain plaques
A research team led by Indiana University School of Medicine scientists has discovered a new method for reducing the formation of amyloid plaques, which disrupt brain function in all aging adults but are particularly prevalent ...
Medical Xpress / Intermittent hemodialysis not noninferior to continuous renal-replacement therapy
Intermittent hemodialysis as an initial treatment approach is not noninferior to continuous renal-replacement therapy (CRRT) among critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) with indications for renal replacement ...
Medical Xpress / Inflammatory breast cancer: Fast-moving form often lacks lump as warning sign
Inflammatory breast cancer is a fast-moving cancer that doesn't usually form a lump; instead, the skin on one breast changes rapidly, explains Tina Hieken, M.D., a surgical oncologist at Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Medical Xpress / Study characterizes clinicians' use of the AI platform OpenEvidence
Artificial intelligence–enabled tools allow clinicians to ask questions like, "How should I explain cholesterol levels to a patient?" or "What were the outcomes of the ATLANTIS trial?" and receive synthesized responses in ...
Medical Xpress / What happens when brain tumors return? International study tracks genetic changes behind recurring cancers
When patients are diagnosed with certain brain tumors, one of the biggest unanswered questions is what happens when the cancer returns. Among those are IDH-mutant gliomas, a group of brain tumors that invariably recur despite ...
Tech Xplore / Can AI understand space, time and pain?
Artificial intelligence can do remarkable things, but how much does it actually understand about the world? Researchers have found that surprisingly specific information can be extracted from the inner workings of large language ...
