Medical Xpress / Why metabolism matters in Fanconi anemia: How a rare genetic disorder disrupts energy pathways

Experts at Cincinnati Children's have uncovered striking metabolic differences in people with Fanconi anemia (FA), a rare genetic disorder that causes bone marrow failure and dramatically increases cancer risk.

Phys.org / Astronomers capture an exceptional gamma-ray flare from a blazar

Astronomers have performed very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations of a gamma-ray loud blazar known as TXS 2013+370. The observations, posted November 19 on the arXiv preprint server, resulted in the detection ...
