Medical Xpress / Two-faced protein discovery may explain why leukemia drugs fail or succeed
A KAIST research team has identified the real reason why anticancer drugs kill cancer cells—targeted anticancer therapies do not simply block cancer proteins but rather shut down the "protein factories" inside the cells, ...
Phys.org / Extreme rain on snow is testing aging dams across Michigan and Wisconsin—this is the future in a warming world
Michigan and parts of Wisconsin are in the midst of a historic flooding event in spring 2026. Days of heavy rainfall on top of snow have sent lakes and rivers over their banks and threatened several dams in both states, forcing ...
Tech Xplore / This punishing coastal ferry route forces a radical rethink of clean speed at sea
The shipping industry must cut its climate emissions, and express ferries are the means of passenger transport that causes the most pollution per kilometer. These high-speed passenger vessels with diesel engines are currently ...
Medical Xpress / Vitamin D may help prevent diabetes, depending on genes
More than two in five U.S. adults have prediabetes, a condition marked by higher-than-normal blood sugar levels that often leads to type 2 diabetes. A new study finds that vitamin D may help delay or prevent that progression, ...
Phys.org / Life's earliest proteins may have folded into complex shapes with far fewer amino acids
How did the earliest life on Earth build complex biological machinery with so few tools? A new study explores how the simplest building blocks of proteins—once limited to just half of today's amino acids—could still form ...
Medical Xpress / 3D DNA switch in brown fat could reshape obesity and diabetes treatment
Most fat stores energy; the body's brown fat does the opposite. Unlike the white fat that accumulates just under our skin, brown fat burns calories and glucose to generate heat. Formally known as brown adipose tissue, it ...
Medical Xpress / ADHD-related traits may intensify chronic pain through anxiety and negative thinking
A new study, led by researchers from the University of Tokyo, involving nearly 1,000 patients in Japan suggests that attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)-related traits may be associated with and may contribute ...
Phys.org / We think norms spread by imitation, but one deceptively simple rule tells a more human story
A paper appearing in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences offers a strikingly simple answer to a longstanding question: How do people learn and settle on shared social conventions, from everyday habits to workplace ...
Phys.org / AI automates quantum dot voltage tuning for scaling up quantum computing
Semiconductor spin qubits are a promising candidate for the building blocks of next-generation quantum computers due to their high potential for integration and compatibility with existing semiconductor technologies. Qubits—like ...
Medical Xpress / FLAG-based regimen delivers strong outcomes in subtype of acute myeloid leukemia
A new analysis by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center demonstrates that a combination therapy consisting of fludarabine, cytarabine and G-CSF (FLAG) plus gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO) or idarubicin ...
Medical Xpress / Astrocytes reveal fragile X pathway tied to seizures and synapse problems
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is an inherited genetic developmental condition that strongly impacts brain development. Despite the syndrome stemming from an altered genetic code for the single protein fragile X messenger ribonucleoprotein ...
Phys.org / How a sinking lithospheric root raised Mongolia's Hangay Mountains
Central Mongolia's Hangay Mountains rise more than four kilometers above sea level, forming a dramatic dome that shapes the region's climate. But for decades, geologists have been puzzled: What caused this massive mountain ...
