Cancer cells proliferate despite a myriad of stresses — from oxygen deprivation to chemotherapy — that would kill any ordinary cell. Now, researchers at UC San Francisco have gained insight into how they may be doing this through the downstream activity of a powerful estrogen receptor. The discovery offers cluesContinuar Leyendo
A team of paleontologists from the University of Washington and its Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture excavated four dinosaurs in northeastern Montana this summer. All fossils will be brought back to the Burke Museum where the public can watch paleontologists remove the surrounding rock in the fossil preparationContinuar Leyendo
A study published in the journal Geology rules out that extreme volcanic episodes had any influence on the massive extinction of species in the late Cretaceous. The results confirm the hypothesis that it was a giant meteorite impact what caused the great biological crisis that ended up with the non-avianContinuar Leyendo
Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign watched fragments of two meteors as they ramped up the heat from room temperature to the temperature it reaches as it enters Earth’s atmosphere and made a significant discovery. The vaporized iron sulfide leaves behind voids, making the material more porous. This informationContinuar Leyendo
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, causing widespread inflammation and damage in the affected organs. It can affect the joints, skin, brain, lungs, kidneys, and blood vessels. Asian SLE patients suffer from more severe disease and damage comparedContinuar Leyendo
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have developed an approach to estimating when a person who is likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease, but has no cognitive symptoms, will start showing signs of Alzheimer’s dementia. St.Louis, September 18, 2021.- The algorithm, available online in the journal Neurology,Continuar Leyendo
New research shows that Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients undergoing anti-CD20 (aCD20) treatment — which depletes the B cells that contribute to the MS attacks — are able to mount robust T-cell responses to the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, despite having a muted antibody response to the vaccines. Philadelphia, September 17, 2021.-Continuar Leyendo
New research led by the University of Kent and University of Reading has found that fruit and vegetable consumption and exercise can increase levels of happiness. Canterbury, September 17, 2021.- While the link between lifestyle and wellbeing has been previously documented and often used in public health campaigns to encourageContinuar Leyendo
Dark energy, the mysterious force that causes the universe to accelerate, may have been responsible for unexpected results from the XENON1T experiment, deep below Italy’s Apennine Mountains. Cambrigde, September 16, 2021. – A new study, led by researchers at the University of Cambridge and reported in the journal Physical ReviewContinuar Leyendo
The field of DNA computing has evolved by leaps and bounds since it was first proposed nearly 30 years ago. But most DNA computing processes are still performed manually, with reactants being added step-by-step to the reaction by hand. Now, finally, scientists at Incheon National University, Korea have found aContinuar Leyendo
