Tumor induction from a distance
Originally, the researchers were simply interested in studying the role of FOXO, a well-known transcription factor that functions as a genetic switch. It has been known for quite a while
Understanding a river’s ‘thermal landscape’ may be the key to saving it
River temperatures have long been an area of study, but until recently, the field has been hampered by technological constraints. Fine-scale measurements over large distances and long time periods have
Dairy products a good dietary source of some types of vitamin K
In the study, published June 1 in Current Developments in Nutrition, researchers quantified the activity of two natural forms of vitamin K in dairy products of various fat contents and
Molecular system for artificial photosynthesis
Now, chemists from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory and Virginia Tech have designed two photocatalysts (materials that accelerate chemical reactions upon absorbing light) that incorporate individual

Physicist builds on Einstein and Galileo’s work
Now nearly four centuries later, a team of Italian physicists has applied the same principle to quantum objects using a novel scientific method proposed by UQ physicist Dr Magdalena Zych,
Are dense star clusters the origin of the gravitational waves discovered by LIGO?
The origin of each of the trio of gravitational wave events LIGO has recorded to date appears to be the cataclysmic collision of a pair of monstrous black holes. Before

Details of Lassa virus structure could inform development of vaccines, therapies
Lassa virus can cause a hemorrhagic disease called Lassa fever and is endemic to western Africa. The virus is a member of the arenavirus family and is spread primarily by
Bone loss is another hidden pathology caused by malaria infection
Now, the Laboratory of Malaria Immunology Team at the Immunology Frontier Research Center (IFReC), Osaka University, headed by Professor Cevayir COBAN, have used mouse malaria models to show that robust
New ceramic nanofiber ‘sponges’ could be used for flexible insulation, water purification
“The basic science question we tried to answer is how can we make a material that’s highly deformable but resistant to high temperature,” said Huajian Gao, a professor in Brown
