Phys.org / Yeast DNA changes reveal hidden triggers for cancer-linked chromosome chaos
Changes in genes have been linked to the development of different diseases for a while. However, it's not exactly clear what the mechanisms, or the causes behind those specific genetic changes, are. Recent studies using fission ...
Phys.org / Marine sediments suggest glaciers retreated in sync across both hemispheres
An international team of scientists has uncovered evidence glaciers in the Southern and Northern hemispheres were synchronous during the last ice age.
Medical Xpress / Autonomy of minors with neurodevelopmental disorders linked to better physical and mental health in their caregivers
A team of researchers from the Mind, Brain, and Behavior Research Center (CIMCYC) at the University of Granada, in collaboration with the University of Castilla-La Mancha, has conducted a study that sheds light on the close ...
Medical Xpress / Fruit fly pigmentation guides discovery of genes that control brain dopamine and sleep
Dopamine in the brain influences movement, learning, motivation and sleep. In humans, problems with dopamine are linked to conditions like Parkinson's disease, depression and sleep disorders. While scientists know a great ...

In the United States, 11% of adults over age 45 self-report some cognitive decline, which may impact their ability to care for themselves and perform tasks such as cooking or paying bills. A team of Washington University ...
Medical Xpress / T cells gain superior memory through new reprogramming method, boosting cancer-fighting abilities
Georgetown University's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers have identified a new way to reprogram T cells, which are infection and tumor-fighting white blood cells, so that they have a superior memory, thereby ...
Phys.org / Queen conch's hopping behavior helps set new conservation guidance
A new study published in Conservation Biology examines the behavior and distribution of queen conch (Aliger gigas) to guide conservation management for the threatened sea snail.
Phys.org / This crystal sings back: Study sheds light on magnetochiral instability
Researchers from The Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have reported the first observation of a dynamic magnetochiral instability in a solid-state material. Their findings, published ...
Phys.org / Sailboat measurements improve estimates of ocean CO₂ uptake
During training cruises and regattas, sailors collect valuable data for climate research at sea. A study appearing in Science Advances showed that this data can help improve estimates of the marine carbon sink.
Medical Xpress / Two wrongs make a right: How two damaging disease variants can restore health
Scientists at Pacific Northwest Research Institute (PNRI) have overturned a long-held belief in genetics: that inheriting two harmful variants of the same gene always worsens disease. Instead, the team found that in many ...
Medical Xpress / Q&A: Why is flu so bad this year?
Flu levels are elevated and continuing to rise during the 2026 season, with Influenza A emerging as the dominant strain.
Phys.org / How AI-generated sexual images cause real harm, even though we know they are 'fake'
