Medical Xpress / New pancreatic cancer strategy kills KRAS-mutant tumor cells and extends survival in mice
Researchers at the University of Cologne's Center for Molecular Medicine Cologne (CMMC) have discovered a previously unknown mechanism that makes most pancreatic cancer cells susceptible to a form of programmed cell death. ...
Phys.org / Q&A: Why so many whales are in Vancouver waters—and how to (legally) spot them
If you've noticed more whales visiting local waters, you're not imagining it: Vancouver's gargantuan guests are here thanks to the season, great grub and conservation successes, researchers say.
Phys.org / Darkness unlocks more ordered nanotubes in light-responsive molecular assemblies, study suggests
Life on Earth has evolved under an uninterrupted rhythm of day and night. While light provides the energy that powers countless molecular processes, periods of darkness often allow biological systems to reorganize, recover ...
Phys.org / How the invention of glassblowing changed everyday life in ancient Rome
We see glass objects every day and often don't think much about them. Mass-produced glass has become so cheap we barely think about the things it allows us to do.
Medical Xpress / Mapping immune cell interactions in gut tissue reveals changes in ulcerative colitis
In a new study published in Science Immunology, researchers at King's College London looked at a type of tissue important for the immune response called gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT), which is located within the lining ...
Phys.org / How a shape-shifting tiny rover inspired by Japanese toys autonomously explored the moon
Moon missions come in all shapes and sizes, from car-sized rovers packed with scientific equipment to towering rocket payloads—and now, a small, shape-shifting machine that is about the size of the average palm.
Phys.org / Research reveals how parenting styles influence children's honesty
Parents who come down hard on their children for telling lies or misbehaving may believe they are teaching the child right from wrong. But new research by NUS suggests that overly strict or punitive parenting could be part ...
Medical Xpress / Molecular clues in maternal blood may predict preterm birth
New research has found signs that may help researchers better understand why some babies are born early. Some signs are present as early as the first trimester.
Medical Xpress / 'Zombie' cells play an unexpected role in the developing brain
Among the body's most crucial protective features are the brain barrier systems, including the blood-brain and blood-cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) barriers. These barriers are made of highly specialized cells that allow essential ...
Dialog / When less is more: Scaling law explains why ultrathin materials get stronger as they get thinner
One of the most fascinating aspects of physics is that nature often behaves in ways that seem completely counterintuitive. A good example comes from ultrathin materials. If I take a sheet of material and make it thinner ...
Phys.org / 'High-res' is the secret to finding alien life with the next great space telescope
We're still in the definition phase of the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO), but it seems like every week a new research group comes out with a paper helping to shape what is becoming one of the most important space telescopes ...
Medical Xpress / ECG privacy model shields age, sex and race while preserving heart risk signals
It is a common misperception that electrocardiograms (ECGs) simply contain data about heart activity. However, modern ECGs enhanced with artificial intelligence (AI) can contain data about a patient's sex, age, race and even ...
