Medical Xpress / Google AI rivals radiologists in breast cancer detection
New research on 175,000 women—the largest NHS study to date—on the use of AI in breast cancer screening shows that AI detected more cases of invasive cancer, more cases overall, had fewer false positives, and recalled ...
Phys.org / Why averages fail for bacteria in the open ocean
How can bacteria that forage on organic particles survive in vast ocean regions where such particles are extremely sparse? A new study by researchers from ETH Zurich and Queen Mary University of London shows that variability ...
Medical Xpress / Why 'being squeezed' helps breast cancer cells to thrive
A new study led by researchers at Adelaide University and published in Science Advances reveals why some cancers can grow and survive in the body, while others cannot. It turns out that intense mechanical pressure experienced ...
Medical Xpress / Study identifies gene linked to chemotherapy resistance in prostate cancer
A gene called FOXJ1 may drive resistance to taxane chemotherapy during treatment for advanced prostate cancer, according to a new study led by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. ...
Phys.org / How climate-friendly is insect protein really?
The larvae of the black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) are considered a promising source of sustainable protein, as they contain high-quality protein comparable to soy protein. They can produce this protein from a wide variety ...
Medical Xpress / Three distinct ADHD biotypes identified using a novel brain-first, data-driven approach
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder or ADHD translates in different ways across the population, unlike the overgeneralized version presented on social media. A recent study further solidified this idea by identifying ...
Phys.org / How boron helps to produce key proteins for new cancer therapies
Chemists from ETH Zurich have found a way to produce poorly soluble proteins by caging a uniquely reactive boron compound. This method opens up new possibilities for the synthesis of tailored protein therapeutics, including ...
Phys.org / New view of 'frameshifting' shows how genetic info can get 'lost in translation'
Christine Dunham is a leading expert on the ribosome—an elaborate macro-molecular machine that operates like a factory within a cell to manufacture proteins. "The ribosome is really the most fascinating molecule in a cell," ...
Phys.org / Strontium optical clock accurate to within 1 second over 30 billion years
Researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China have achieved a major breakthrough in optical clock technology, developing a strontium optical lattice clock with stability and uncertainty both surpassing ...
Medical Xpress / Breast cancer stage at diagnosis differs sharply across rural US regions
Where a woman lives significantly affects whether her breast cancer is diagnosed at an early or late stage, according to a national analysis published in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons (JACS). Researchers ...
Medical Xpress / Predicting brain health with a smartwatch
Can smartphones or smartwatches help detect early signs of neurological or mental illness? Researchers at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) monitored a group of participants wearing connected devices, and used artificial intelligence ...
Phys.org / A superradiant clock phase emerges when Rydberg atoms meet quantum light, simulations suggest
Rydberg atoms are atoms with one or more outer electrons excited to very high energy levels, which interact very strongly with each other. These atoms are widely used to run quantum simulations and develop quantum technologies, ...
