Medical Xpress / AI model identifies certain breast tumor stages likely to progress to invasive cancer
Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a type of preinvasive tumor that sometimes progresses to a highly deadly form of breast cancer. It accounts for about 25% of all breast cancer diagnoses.
Phys.org / Nanoscopic imaging aids in understanding protein, tissue preservation in ancient bones
A pilot study from North Carolina State University shows that nanoscopic 3D imaging of ancient bone not only provides further insight into the changes soft tissues undergo during fossilization, it also has potential as a ...
Phys.org / Effects of stellar magnetism could expand criteria for exoplanet habitability
Interest in Earth-like planets orbiting within the habitable zone of their host stars has surged, driven by the quest to discover life beyond our solar system. But the habitability of such planets, known as exoplanets, is ...
Tech Xplore / Bio-hybrid robotics need regulation and public debate, say researchers
Researchers are calling for regulation to guide the responsible and ethical development of bio-hybrid robotics—a pioneering science which fuses artificial components with living tissue and cells.
Phys.org / Ciliated eukaryotes study offers simple, versatile method for tubulin staining
Ciliates, a group of single-celled ciliated eukaryotes, have been studied since the dawn of light microscopy, with over 10,000 species described. Cilia are the key feature of ciliates and contribute to their diversity. They ...
Phys.org / New date for Earth's largest iron deposits offers clues for future exploration
Research led by Curtin University reveals that Earth's largest iron ore deposits—in the Hamersley Province of Western Australia—are about one billion years younger than previously believed, a discovery which could greatly ...
Medical Xpress / A new tool to reclassify heart risk and reduce heart attacks
They sit in the middle—the intermediate zone—where they are considered neither low nor high risk for having a heart attack or stroke. But heart disease may well be within striking distance, so how can we more accurately ...
Medical Xpress / Peptide cocktails show promise in combating antibiotic resistance
Antibiotics are essential tools in modern medicine, regularly used to treat bacterial infections and prevent infections during surgery. However, the widespread use of antibiotics has led to many bacteria developing resistance, ...
Phys.org / Insect pests study finds public surveillance is critical to early detection
A new study from the University of Maryland identifies key patterns and factors influencing insect pest establishment and detection across the U.S. and suggests public surveillance awareness and involvement is a critical ...
Medical Xpress / Study finds siRNA ineffective in reducing mutant huntingtin gene mRNA in nucleus
In Huntington's disease, the mutant huntingtin gene (HTT) mRNA is retained in the nucleus and forms insoluble clusters. A new study shows that short interfering RNA (siRNA), an oligonucleotide therapeutic strategy that reduces ...
Phys.org / Decomposing 'refrigerants,' a potent greenhouse gas, using industrial waste
A research team has developed a technology to decompose refrigerants, a greenhouse gas 1,300 times more potent than carbon dioxide, using challenging-to-handle industrial waste.
Medical Xpress / Recommendations to facilitate design and implementation of clinical pharmacogenomic DPYD genotyping assays
The Association for Molecular Pathology (AMP) has published consensus recommendations to aid in the design and validation of clinical DPYD genotyping assays, promote standardization of testing across different laboratories, ...
