Scientists at UBC Okanagan have uncovered how plants produce mitraphylline, a rare natural compound with promising anti cancer potential. The team identified two enzymes that work together to build the molecules unusual ...

Scientists at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, have uncovered a crucial trick used by enteroviruses-the group behind diseases like polio, myocarditis, encephalitis, and even the common cold-to reproduce insi...

A "first of its kind" personalized DNA vaccine is doubling survival rates for patients with aggressive glioblastoma. By targeting 40 unique tumor proteins, twice as many as previous therapies, the GNOS-PV01 vacci...

A new study found that GPNMB, released by the brain's immune cells, accelerates the spread of toxic alpha-synuclein. By using monoclonal antibodies to block GPNMB, the team successfully interrupted the cycle of neuro...

Researchers discovered that transposable elements (TEs) provided more than 20,000 regulatory binding sites that drive neural development. By acting as genomic couriers for transcription factors like Sox2 and Brn2, these ...

GLP-1 medications effectively "turn down the volume" on intrusive food thoughts. In a study of 417 adults, those combining medication with behavioral therapy saw a significantly greater reduction in "food noi...

Researchers discovered that dysregulated circadian rhythms cause microglia, the brains immune cells, to become "stress-primed" and malfunction. This state prevents them from clearing amyloid plaques, accelerating...

As blood stem cells age, their lysosomes become overactive and damaged, triggering inflammation and weakening the bodys ability to regenerate healthy blood and immune cells. By calming this cellular overdrive, researcher...

New models chart how virus-carrying rodents may spread across Argentina as climate change reshapes weather patterns.

Technion researchers have developed, for the first time, a comprehensive physical model explaining how the properties of a radiating material, including absorption, emission, and quantum efficiency, affect the fundamenta...

Researchers mapped the histamine system from genes to PET scans, revealing its deep involvement in emotional regulation and cognitive control. This new atlas suggests that histamine-related pathways could be the "mis...

The wireless rings read 100 common signs from two sign languages and "autocomplete" sentences. The post These Seven AI Rings Translate Sign Language in Real Time appeared first on SingularityHub.

Can labeling your feelings "fix" anxiety? For those with higher autistic traits, the answer may be yes. Researchers found that while these individuals experience higher intolerance of uncertainty, the act of putt...

The universe may not be perfectly uniform after all, a new series of papers hints. If confirmed, this could upend a nearly 100-year-old model of cosmology.

Weve long tried to control the weather by engineering rainfall. Now such cloud-seeding efforts are escalating, creating conflict between countries and stoking conspiracy theories. But do they work?

Hitchhiker fish known as remoras have a very unexpected hiding place: the rear ends of manta rays.

Simulating the nonlinear optical physics that underlies ultrafast laser systems is computationally demanding-a practical bottleneck in settings that require rapid feedback. A study by researchers at Stanford University, ...

The sun has erupted with a moderate M5.7 solar flare and a coronal mass ejection that could trigger a northern lights display.

Climate scientists have revealed that last month's sea surface temperatures were the second-warmest for any April on record, reflecting the emergence of El Niño.

Researchers at The University of Osaka, in collaboration with Ritsumeikan University, have demonstrated that growing europium-doped gallium nitride (Eu-doped GaN) on a semipolar crystal plane dramatically improves red li...

Dozens of scientists have banded together to pen scathing research letters to the journal Science about the publication of a study claiming the 14,500-year-old Monte Verde archaeological site in Chile is much younger tha...

A 2025 satellite photo shows the swirling cyclone of Hurricane Kiko bearing down on Hawaii while the island state was obscured by a bright, reflective streak.
