Medical Xpress / Immune sabotage: How a Vitamin A byproduct compromises the body's normal anti-cancer response
Scientists at the Princeton University Branch of the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research have identified novel mechanisms by which a metabolic derivative of vitamin A—all-trans retinoic acid—compromises both the body's ...
Phys.org / House sparrows can help us save endangered species: A mathematical framework for genomic prediction
Researchers are trying to understand why some wild species do better than others over time, as the environment changes.
Medical Xpress / Cooler bedroom temperatures help the heart recover during sleep, finds study
Maintaining a bedroom temperature of 24°C (75°F) at night while sleeping reduces stress responses in older adults, according to new Griffith University research published in the journal BMC Medicine.
Phys.org / Warming winters and storm-driven dispersal facilitate northward mangrove expansion along the US Atlantic coast
In recent decades, mangroves along the Atlantic coast of North America have expanded into areas traditionally dominated by salt marshes. This shift shows that climate change is already reshaping temperate coastal ecosystems, ...
Medical Xpress / Lack of support for people on weight loss drugs leaves them vulnerable to nutritional deficiencies, say experts
People prescribed the new generation of weight loss drugs may not receive sufficient nutritional guidance to support safe and sustainable weight loss, leaving them vulnerable to nutritional deficiencies and muscle loss, say ...
Tech Xplore / On-demand hydrogen fuel production goes dark-mode
Hydrogen, the lightest element on the periodic table, is a master of escaping almost any container it's stored in. Its extremely small size allows it to squeeze through atomic-scale gaps in the storage materials, which is ...
Phys.org / Inside the massive radio search of our newest interstellar guest
It feels like every week now we're writing a new article about how 3I/ATLAS is not an alien technology. But it's worth reiterating, and perhaps taking a look at the methodology we used to prove that statement. A new paper, ...
Medical Xpress / Dramatic decline in new cases of orphanhood in Uganda driven by HIV treatment and prevention programs
The scale-up of HIV treatment and prevention programs has led to remarkable declines in orphanhood rates in Rakai, Uganda, according to a new study at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health. Antiretroviral therapy ...
Phys.org / A red moon, a blue moon, a supermoon and more: Your guide to the southern sky in 2026
What will we see in the southern sky in 2026? A total eclipse of the moon (at a convenient time), a blue moon and a supermoon, the two brightest planets close together, and Jupiter disappearing behind the moon in the daytime.
Medical Xpress / Shroom3 mutation linked to kidney scarring offers new drug target
Nearly 1 in 7 adults in the United States lives with chronic kidney disease, a condition that often advances quietly until serious damage has occurred. While diabetes and high blood pressure are well-known culprits, researchers ...
Phys.org / Snow's compressibility acts as avalanche crumple zone
How do avalanches affect pylons and other sensitive infrastructure? Using detailed simulations, SLF researcher Michael Kohler has shown that the compressibility of snow initially reduces avalanche pressure, but that at high ...
Phys.org / Public backing for taxes falls when unfairness exposed
Public support for broad-based taxation risks eroding when voters learn that the super-rich pay lower tax rates than ordinary citizens, according to new research co-authored by King's academics.
