Medical Xpress / Tiny BAP1 mutations can disrupt internal signals that suppress tumor growth
Scientists at the Institute of Biochemical Sciences at National Taiwan University have uncovered how tiny genetic changes can disable one of the body's most important tumor-suppressing proteins. Their study, published in ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists develop more photostable near-infrared fluorescent dye for longer surgical imaging
Researchers in Korea have developed a new near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent dye with significantly improved photostability, overcoming the rapid signal fading that has long limited fluorescence imaging during surgery for cancer, ...
Medical Xpress / Increased social media use linked to anxiety, suicidal ideation among young adults
Teenagers who spent six or more hours a day on social media were twice as likely to experience symptoms of anxiety and three times as likely to report suicidal ideation than those who spent less than one hour on social media ...
