Medical Xpress / Face photos reveal faster biological aging tied to poorer cancer survival
The Mass General Brigham research team behind FaceAge, an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that can estimate a person's biological age from a single photo, is reporting in a new study that estimating biological age from ...
Medical Xpress / Novel theranostic approach for radioimmunotherapy achieves curative responses in colorectal cancer tumors
A new pretargeted radioimmunotherapy (PRIT) technique has been shown to be safe and effective in eradicating tumors from a preclinical colorectal cancer model. The multi-step theranostic approach delivers alpha-emitting radiation ...
Science X / How can a heart beat for centuries? A lesson from the Greenland shark
The Greenland shark (Somniosus microcephalus) is one of the longest living vertebrates on Earth, with an estimated lifespan of up to 400 years or more. Its extraordinary lifespan, extremely slow growth, very low metabolism, ...
Phys.org / Soil, not fertilizer, is primary source of nitrogen gas loss in rice paddies, study reveals
Rice production is heavily dependent on nitrogen fertilizers, particularly in China, where application rates are two to three times the global average. At the same time, a large amount of nitrogen is lost to the environment—mainly ...
Tech Xplore / Robotically assembled building blocks could make construction more efficient and sustainable
Robotically assembled building blocks could be a more environmentally friendly method for erecting large-scale structures than some existing construction techniques, according to a new study by MIT researchers published in ...
Science X / Platypus gets more exotic origin story, as this bigger swimmer ruled ancient Australian lakes beside dolphins
Australia's platypus, one of the world's most enigmatic animals, had a more exotic origin story, according to an exciting discovery by Flinders University paleontologists. They have described rare 25-million-year-old fossils ...
Science X / Future-focused negative thoughts undercut present joy predicts depression more strongly than researchers expected
Imagine you are at a party having the time of your life—then you start thinking about the fact that these good feelings will fade as soon as it ends, triggering those good feelings to diminish in the moment. A recent article ...
Medical Xpress / Multiple myeloma linked to higher risk for hematologic second cancers
Patients with multiple myeloma (MM) have a distinct pattern of second primary malignancy (SPM), with a markedly increased risk of hematologic SPMs, according to a review published online April 6 in Frontiers in Oncology.
Medical Xpress / How melatonin could improve fertility-preserving ovarian transplants after cancer treatment
Administering melatonin via an absorbable sponge improved the effectiveness of autologous ovarian tissue transplantation. This procedure is used to preserve the fertility of children and adolescents who have undergone cancer ...
Tech Xplore / New report looks at how AI is impacting software development
Generative AI tools are rapidly transforming how software is built—and raising new risks in the process, according to a new TechBrief from the Association for Computing Machinery's Technology Policy Council (TPC) on the rise ...
Phys.org / Fragile no more, nickelates get an upgrade that changes how superconductivity endures
Discovered in 2019, the material known as nickelates has intrigued researchers for its potential to become a superconductor at elevated temperatures—a property that could significantly advance such fields as quantum science ...
Phys.org / Proton beam timing tool could check radiotherapy energy before nearly every treatment
Proton beams are not only used in sophisticated nuclear physics experiments. Today, they are becoming increasingly popular in radiotherapy, where they are an irreplaceable tool for destroying cancer cells. Doctors and physicists ...
