Dr Robert Noble, a Lecturer in Mathematics in the School of Mathematics, Computer Science and Engineering (SMCSE) believes that characterising the way, manner or pattern of evolution in tumours is important for clinical forecasting and optimising cancer treatment. London, January, 15, 2022.- Dr Noble and his colleagues in Professor NikoContinuar Leyendo
Microplastics can deposit and linger within riverbeds for as long as seven years before washing into the ocean, a new study has found. Evanston, IL, Jan 14, 2022.- Because rivers are in near-constant motion, researchers previously assumed lightweight microplastics quickly flowed through rivers, rarely interacting with riverbed sediments. Now, researchersContinuar Leyendo
The age of the oldest fossils in eastern Africa widely recognised as representing our species, Homo sapiens, has long been uncertain. Now, dating of a massive volcanic eruption in Ethiopia reveals they are much older than previously thought. Cambrigde, Jan 13, 2022.- The remains — known as Omo I —Continuar Leyendo
In a new study, scientists at the University of Missouri demonstrate the direct transmission of bisphenol A (BPA) from a mother to her developing child via the placenta could negatively impact fetal brain development. Cheryl Rosenfeld, a professor of biomedical sciences in the College of Veterinary Medicine, and colleagues proposeContinuar Leyendo
París, Jan 10, 2022.- Today the James Webb Space Telescope team successfully fully deployed its iconic 6.4-metre, gold-coated primary mirror, completing the final stage of all major spacecraft deployments to prepare for science operations. “The successful unfolding of the Webb telescope has been a complex but impressive engineering masterpiece. OnContinuar Leyendo
Researchers have used MRI imaging to map visual brain activity in stroke survivors with sight loss that gives new hope for rehabilitation and recovery. Nottingham, Jan 10, 2022.- Scientists from the University of Nottingham have revealed new insights by combining data from clinical sight tests with brain imaging to preciselyContinuar Leyendo
Led by the University of Bern, an international research team has discovered a sub-Neptune exoplanet orbiting a red dwarf star. The discovery was also made thanks to observations performed by the SAINT-EX observatory in Mexico. SAINT-EX is run by a consortium including the Center for Space and Habitability (CSH) atContinuar Leyendo
For the first time ever, astronomers have imaged in real time the dramatic end to a red supergiant’s life — watching the massive star’s rapid self-destruction and final death throes before collapsing into a type II supernova. Evanston, Jan 07, 2022.- Led by researchers at Northwestern University and the UniversityContinuar Leyendo
A trial by the University of Eastern Finland found that taking a much higher dose of vitamin D than recommended for five years did not affect total mortality or the incidence of cardiovascular disease or cancer in older men and women. Joensuu/Kuopio, Jan 07, 2022.- In population studies, low levelsContinuar Leyendo
The first comprehensive analysis of viral horizontal gene transfer (HGT) illustrates the extent to which viruses pick up genes from their hosts to hone their infection process, while at the same time hosts also co-opt useful viral genes. Vancouver, Jan 06, 2022.- HGT is the movement of genetic material betweenContinuar Leyendo
