Medical Xpress / AI model powers skin cancer detection across diverse populations
Researchers at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine have developed a new approach for identifying individuals with skin cancer that combines genetic ancestry, lifestyle and social determinants of health ...
Medical Xpress / First-in-human trial of CRISPR gene-editing therapy safely lowers cholesterol and triglycerides
In a 15-patient, Phase 1, first-in-human trial, a one-time CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing therapy safely reduced LDL cholesterol and triglycerides in people with difficult-to-treat lipid disorders, according to a preliminary late-breaking ...
Phys.org / How cells choose their direction without external signals
Cell movement is an essential biological process, whether it's cancer cells metastasizing to other parts of the body or immune cells migrating to heal a wound. However, the principle by which cells autonomously determine ...
Tech Xplore / Engineered randomness enhances connection speed and precision in next-generation wireless systems
The next generation of wireless communication will move into signal frequencies even higher than those of today's 5G systems, allowing signals to carry vastly more data at much higher speeds. These high-frequency bands, expected ...
Phys.org / Americans support universities' broader social roles but oppose political activism
From free speech to sustainability, Americans broadly agree that universities should engage in a range of societal issues beyond their core education and research missions—while avoiding political activism, a Cornell economist ...
Phys.org / Silver nanowire electrodes get a conductivity surge with new coating technique
Researchers at UNIST have unveiled a simple, yet effective method to replace the insulating coating—known as polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)—that covers silver nanowires (AgNWs), enabling significantly better electrical conductivity ...
Phys.org / Non-native plant species adapt to natural ecosystems faster than expected
Over time, non-native plant species increasingly integrate into native food webs. Their region of origin or relatedness to native plants plays only a minor role. Far more decisive is how widely they have spread and how long ...
Phys.org / How quantum computers can aid the search for room-temperature superconductors
For the first time, a quantum computer has successfully measured pairing correlations (quantum signals that show electrons teaming up in pairs), which is essential to helping scientists find one of the holy grails of physics—superconductors ...
Phys.org / Novel climate biostress model and sentinel system seek to track global climate impacts
An interdisciplinary team of scientists at the Advanced Science Research Center at the CUNY Graduate Center (CUNY ASRC) has unveiled a conceptual model and integrative monitoring framework designed to reveal how climate change ...
Phys.org / A few words with a big impact: How one sentence can make classrooms more inclusive
A few seconds of personal disclosure can shape how students experience an entire course, according to new research in CBE—Life Sciences Education from the School of Life Sciences at Arizona State University.
Phys.org / Stone Age Pacific fishing practices revealed through chemical fingerprints hidden in collagen
A new collagen fingerprinting tool can help scientists identify species from archaeological bone fragments. Pacific islanders of the late Stone Age, also known as the Neolithic period, were master fishers. Archaeological ...
Phys.org / Archaeologists examine evidence for Indigenous long-distance voyaging below 50°S
In a study published in the Journal of Coastal and Island Archaeology, Dr. Thomas Leppard and his colleagues, John Cherry and Atholl Anderson, evaluate the evidence for pre-European long-distance voyages below the 50th parallel ...
