Study identifies biomarker that could predict whether colon cancer patients

MIAMI, FLORIDA (July 25, 2024) – Many people with stage II or III colon cancer receive additional, or adjuvant, chemotherapy following surgery. However, clinical trials have shown that this treatment doesn’t improve the chances of survival for every patient. A study published July 25 in Cell Reports Medicine identifies and validates a 10-gene biomarker that […]

Scripps Research study shows ways to improve health alerts

LA JOLLA, CA—When seemingly healthy people receive an alert from a wearable sensor telling them they might have a respiratory virus—based on small changes in their unique heartrate, sleep and activity patterns—what do they do? According to a new study by Scripps Research scientists carried out at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, only a […]

Study by TU Graz shows that abrasion emissions from trains are not

In addition to exhaust emissions, abrasion emissions from tyres and brakes have become increasingly important when assessing the environmental impact of traffic. However, the focus here was on road vehicles; rail was hardly considered. In a study commissioned by the German Centre for Rail Transport Research (DZSF), researchers from the Institute of Thermodynamics and Sustainable […]

Two-in-one mapping of temperature and flow around microscale convective

Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have devised a way to measure both the temperature and velocity profiles of fluid in a convective plume at millimeter length scales in 3D. They combined near-infrared absorption imaging and image processing to separate the motion of tracer particles from snapshots of how light is absorbed, producing […]

Enhanced information in national policies can accelerate Africa’s

New analysis of African national adaptation policy documents finds that most fail to provide comprehensive and consistent information. But the authors also uncover compelling examples of robust plans which hold lessons for upcoming climate talks.   New analysis of African national adaptation policy documents finds that most fail to provide comprehensive and consistent information.

Unprecedented warming threatens earth’s lakes and their ecosystems

Lakes, with their rich biodiversity and important ecological services, face a concerning trend: rapidly increasing temperatures. A recent study published in Nature Geoscience by an international team of limnologists and climate modelers reveals that if current anthropogenic warming continues until the end of this century, lakes worldwide will likely experience pervasive and unprecedented surface and subsurface […]

A proteome-wide yeast degron collection for the dynamic study of protein function

Genome-wide collections of yeast strains, known as libraries, revolutionized the way systematic studies are carried out. Specifically, libraries that involve a cellular perturbation, such as the deletion collection, have facilitated key biological discoveries. However, short-term rewiring and long-term accumulation of suppressor mutations often obscure the functional consequences of such perturbations. We present the AID library […]
