Medical Xpress / Small molecule blocks key glioblastoma driver, raising hopes for new treatment
UVA Comprehensive Cancer Center scientists have identified a molecule that blocks the gene responsible for glioblastoma, raising hopes that the molecule could become a much-needed new treatment for the deadliest brain cancer. ...
Phys.org / How cities primed spotted lanternflies to thrive in the US
Spotted lanternflies are adapting to the pressures of city life such as heat, pollution, and pesticides, according to genomic analyses of the invasive insects in the US and their native China. The findings, published in the ...
Phys.org / Ozone-depleting CFCs detected in historical measurements—20 years earlier than previously known
An international research team led by the University of Bremen has detected chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in Earth's atmosphere for the first time in historical measurements from 1951—20 years earlier than previously known. ...
Phys.org / Cells adapt to aging by actively remodeling endoplasmic reticulum, study reveals
Improvements in public health have allowed humankind to survive to older ages than ever before, but, for many people, these added golden years are not spent in good health. Aging is a natural part of life, but it is associated ...
Medical Xpress / Chikungunya vaccine update: Experimental adjuvant-free particles aim to prevent months of joint pain
Griffith University researchers are on the cusp of a new vaccine to prevent chikungunya, a global health threat which attacks human joint tissue. Professor Bernd Rehm, from Griffith's Institute for Biomedicine and Glycomics, ...
Medical Xpress / A double-edged sword: Chronic cellular stress promotes liver cancer—but also makes tumors vulnerable to immunotherapy
A key molecular mechanism drives the growth of liver cell cancer while simultaneously suppressing the body's immune response to the tumor. This has been published in the journal Nature by a team led by researchers from the ...
Phys.org / Natural magnetic materials can control light in unprecedented ways
Imagine shining a flashlight into a material and watching the light bend backward—or in an entirely unexpected direction—as if defying the law of physics. This phenomenon, known as negative refraction, could transform ...
Phys.org / Light-driven probe enables sensitive detection of epigenetic intermediates
Epigenetic modifications such as DNA methylation play a key role in regulating gene expression. Emerging evidence suggests that intermediates generated during DNA demethylation may have distinct biological roles. However, ...
Phys.org / Why has SpaceX not launched from Kennedy Space Center this year?
SpaceX launched 26 missions from Kennedy Space Center's Launch Pad 39-A in 2025, including four human spaceflight missions. That era is coming to an end. A massive crane was put in place this week with speculation it will ...
Phys.org / With international law at a 'breaking point', a tiny country goes after Myanmar's junta on its own
Just four months ago, Timor-Leste formally became a member of the Association of Southeast Asian States (ASEAN). This week, the tiny country took an unprecedented step: its judicial authorities appointed a prosecutor to examine ...
Phys.org / Polarstern heads to the Weddell Sea to probe Antarctica's sharp sea ice drop
With the departure of the research vessel Polarstern from Punta Arenas (Chile) scheduled for this weekend, the "Summer Weddell Sea Outflow Study" (SWOS) international expedition will commence. Up to early April, a multidisciplinary ...
Medical Xpress / Pancreatic tumors eliminated in mice without resistance developing
Current drugs for pancreatic cancer lose effectiveness within months because the tumor becomes resistant. Now, a group from Spain's National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) has been able to avoid the development of resistance ...
