Phys.org / New insights into how DNA, the body's instruction manual for life, is regulated
Scientists at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Center have uncovered new insights into how cells regulate DNA methylation, a fundamental process that helps keep potentially harmful viral elements in our genome under control.
Phys.org / Chemists develop a molecular platform for the selective control of oxygen reaction pathways
Controlling how oxygen reacts is important for improving technologies such as batteries, fuel cells and environmentally sustainable chemical processes. A research team led by professor Seung Jun Hwang from KAIST's Department ...
Phys.org / Baby monkey Punch to celebrate first birthday
Punch, a plush-clutching Japanese baby monkey that has become a global online sensation, will celebrate his first birthday on Sunday as his zoo is flooded with fan letters from around the world.
Phys.org / Protecting your pets from heat stress: Expert advice
Warm weather often means more time outside with your pets, but higher temperatures also increase the risk of heat stress, which occurs when an animal's body cannot properly cool itself, causing its core temperature to rise.
Medical Xpress / FDA advisers dismiss safety warnings, back four peptide treatments
A panel of outside advisers to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) voted Thursday to let specialized pharmacies produce and sell four peptide treatments the agency banned three years ago.
Phys.org / Underwater drones discover coral reefs off Benin, long presumed dead, teeming with life
A coral reef, missing and presumed dead, has been found alive and well off the coast of Benin. Surveys in the 1960s, focused on identifying promising fishing areas, flagged a possible deep-water coral reef but assumed it ...
Phys.org / Floating colonies: Engineering 3D microbial architectures in liquid cultures
Microbes in the gut, lungs and biofilms do not simply exist as perfectly mixed populations; instead, they grow in layered and clustered three-dimensional (3D) arrangements. This spatial organization shapes how nutrients and ...
Tech Xplore / Has AI become too powerful to control?
One of OpenAI's most advanced models broke out of a locked-down test and attacked another company's website—reviving fears that AI systems are slipping beyond their creators' control.
Phys.org / Cone snail venom peptide could enable injectable non-opioid pain relief
An international research team led by the Medical University of Vienna has investigated a new peptide derived from cone snail venom that significantly reduced inflammation-induced pain in an animal model. Crucially, its effect ...
Phys.org / NASA's new space telescope will tackle some of the universe's biggest mysteries
NASA is about to launch a space observatory that could help settle some of the biggest mysteries in modern astronomy. The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will study how the universe began, what it is made of and how it ...
Phys.org / Scientists map how the flu virus rewires the human cell from the inside
Researchers at EMBL Hamburg and collaborators at the Leibniz Research Institute for Molecular Pharmacology (FMP) have mapped how the influenza A virus rewires infected human cells in unprecedented detail. To do this, the ...
Phys.org / UK in pole position to lead key instrument in NASA's hunt for Earth-like worlds
UK astronomers are a step closer to playing a leading role in NASA's search for alien life in the coming decades as they continue developing one of the core instruments of the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO). The exciting ...
