Medical Xpress / A key protein helps liver cancer resist heat-based treatment
A new study led by investigators at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center may help explain why certain liver tumors return quickly after thermal ablation, a widely used minimally-invasive, image-guided technique ...

Phys.org / Father-daughter bonding may help female baboons live longer
Besides humans, very few mammals receive care from their fathers. But when species do, it may benefit their children. New research from the University of Notre Dame found that the strength of early-life father-daughter relationships ...

Medical Xpress / Common autoimmune drug may help reverse immunotherapy-induced diabetes
A team of researchers at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center has identified a potential new strategy to prevent, and even reverse, immune checkpoint inhibitor–induced type 1 diabetes, a rare but life-threatening ...

Phys.org / Daily mismatch between temperature and humidity helps shield cloud forests from dryness
A daily mismatch between temperature and humidity, observed in certain mountain and waterside regions, helps regulate atmospheric dryness. According to a new study published in Science Advances, this protective effect may ...

Phys.org / Beyond the alpha male: Primate studies challenge male-dominance norms
New findings by researchers at the University of Montpellier, the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, and the German Primate Center in Göttingen resolve why male-female power asymmetries vary across ...

Medical Xpress / New research uncovers link between cancer pathway and blood-retina barrier function
A University of Minnesota Medical School-led research team has discovered that a cancer signaling pathway has previously unrecognized roles in retina and brain blood vessels. The findings were recently published in Science ...

Medical Xpress / Study links COVID-19 and bacterial infection to Alzheimer's disease
A recent review by researchers at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM) shows Chlamydia pneumoniae (Cpn) and SARS-CoV-2 infections may play a role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease.

Tech Xplore / Microsoft Outlook users experience hourslong outage impacting email access
After Outlook users ran into issues accessing their email accounts late Wednesday and into Thursday, Microsoft says that affected systems are back online.

Medical Xpress / AI tool more effective for predicting risk of heart attack
Researchers from The University of Western Australia, working with medtech industry partners Artrya, have developed a new, fully automated AI algorithm that is more effective than current methods at predicting the risk of ...

Tech Xplore / Why recycling solar panels is harder than you might think
It's hard work soaking up sunlight to generate clean electricity. After about 25 to 30 years, solar panels wear out. Over the years, heating and cooling cycles stress the materials. Small cracks develop, precipitation corrodes ...

Phys.org / Melting ice will strengthen the monsoon in northern Australia—but cause drier conditions north of the equator
Almost two-thirds of the world's population is affected by the monsoon—the annual arrival of intense rains in areas north and south of the Equator. These drenching rains tend to arrive during each hemisphere's summer.

Phys.org / Molecular biologists identify multifunctional virus-sensing protein
As part of a person's first line of defense against viruses and other microbes that cause illness and disease, a whole network of proteins and other molecules detect and respond to intruders, which they do in part by sensing ...
