Phys.org / Multiwavelength variability reveals dust structure in quasars
A research team has investigated quasar variability by tracking optical to mid-infrared (MIR) wavelengths of variability information. This multiband joint analysis provides an opportunity to probe the dust structure in the ...
Medical Xpress / Uncovering cancer's hidden oncRNA signatures: From discovery to liquid biopsy
After being described in 2018, researchers knew they had something interesting with T3p, a single small RNA found in breast cancer but absent from normal tissue. The molecule took the team on a six-year journey to systematically ...
Phys.org / Florida reefs offer multimillion-dollar flood protection—if they survive
It's no secret that Florida's iconic coral reefs are in trouble. Repeated body blows from hurricanes, pollution, disease, climate change—and a near-knockout punch from a 2023 marine heat wave—has effectively wiped several ...
Phys.org / Q&A: The present and future of the ecosystem reflected in marine life
An animal ecologist researching large marine animals such as whales and dolphins, Assistant Professor Iwata Takashi of the Graduate School of Maritime Sciences has performed surveys in oceans across the world. By using a ...
Phys.org / Q&A: Fairness and well-being in society
When we assign work or chores in social units like our workplaces and households, feelings of unfairness are inevitable. While we hope to keep things fair, this can sometimes be difficult to achieve, and we often find ourselves ...
Medical Xpress / CAR T cells with boosted BACH2 protein can fight cancer more effectively
UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have discovered that increasing the levels of a protein called BACH2 makes engineered cancer-fighting immune cells behave more like stem cells, improving their therapeutic effectiveness. ...
Medical Xpress / Predicting microbubble distribution for blood-brain barrier opening
A clinical study shows that preoperative dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can help predict how microbubbles will distribute in the human brain. This is a key step toward optimizing ...
Phys.org / Western governors called to Washington as Colorado River impasse drags on
With western states deadlocked in negotiations over how to cut water use along the Colorado River, the Trump administration has called in the governors of seven states to Washington to try to hash out a consensus.
Phys.org / 40 years of tree-tracking records reveal how global change is impacting Amazon and Andean Forest diversity
New research published in Nature Ecology and Evolution reveals significant recent shifts in tree diversity among the tropical forests of the Andes and Amazon, driven by global change.
Phys.org / New drug delivery mechanism could aid breast cancer treatment
In a study published in the Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, scientists from the UF Health Cancer Institute have found a way to make treatment for a notoriously aggressive breast cancer more effective. Using a delivery ...
Phys.org / Discovery of PITTs shows platelets can switch from clotting to driving vessel inflammation
A team from Würzburg has fundamentally changed our understanding of platelet biology. The researchers demonstrate that the surface protein integrin αIIbβ3 is not only a key molecule in blood clotting, but can also act ...
Medical Xpress / Tiny molecules called tRNA halves may contribute to prostate cancer cell growth
Prostate cancer is the second-most common cancer in men. A new study from Thomas Jefferson University uncovered a new potential therapeutic target in tiny molecules called tRNA halves.
