A multi-institutional clinical trial showed that a newer technique for collecting prostate biopsy samples reduced the risk of infection compared with traditional biopsy approaches.

Findings suggest that new genes can form by repurposing fragments of ancestral genes while incorporating entirely new coding regions (the protein-coding parts of the DNA). This innovative concept ...

Diastatic yeasts can spoil craft beer through hyperattenuation, which boosts the alcohol content and causes bottles to explode. Killer toxins, which are produced by other yeast strains, hint at a ...

A new study highlights the role of natural killer T cells in influencing the immune response to dengue virus, potentially reducing the severity of subsequent infections.

Researchers analyzed the incidence in Japan of COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA), a severe invasive fungal infection of the lungs, and found some insights related to risk factors and ...

Researchers report significant strides in enhancing early diagnosis of bipolar disorder in adolescents. They demonstrate the efficacy of integrating multimodal MRI with behavioral assessments for ...

There is a challenge related to prostate and many other cancers that cancer cells form resistance to treatments as the disease progresses. However, these resistance mechanisms are not yet fully ...

Researchers investigated differences in T-cell responses between male and female patients with lung cancer that may help direct future treatments. T-cell responses are part of the adaptive immune ...

Within the cycling realm, 'to Everest' involves riding up and down the same mountain until your ascents total the elevation of Mt. Everest. A new record was set a few years ago, but a debate ensued ...

By tracking the changes in prostate cancer cells over time, researchers have found that activation of the MYC gene -- a well-known cancer-causing gene -- sets off a cascade of events that leads to ...

Researchers used a detailed mathematical model to demonstrate that the construction sector in the UK and Europe could almost eliminate its carbon emissions by 2060. This could be achieved through ...

A study reveals that current methods of designing and evaluating wildlife corridors may not be adequate to ensure wildlife protection, and suggests that Best Management Practices should include ...
