Researchers have mapped previously ignored non-coding regions of major breast cancer genes in over 11,000 individuals. They discovered that rare variants in these areas can disrupt gene splicing and increase cancer risk, particularly for triple-negative disease.
Researchers have identified that the enzyme HDAC9 naturally declines in ageing brains, contributing to dementia. By genetically boosting this specific enzyme in mice, scientists preserved memory and reduced amyloid plaques, offering a highly targeted approach that clearly defines the role of individual enzymes compared to older, generalized methods.
Human radiologists often overestimate the severity of flat bladder tumours due to a visual bias. A new deep learning model ignores these distracting shapes, accurately assessing muscle invasion and potentially saving patients from overly aggressive treatments.
Scientists propose a new method to improve plant-based foods by engineering the physical structure of the fermentation substrate. Instead of relying on the passive properties of raw materials, integrating specific design principles helps fungi grow evenly.
Millions of tonnes of rice husks are discarded globally every year. Now, chemists are turning this agricultural waste into highly efficient, reusable chemical catalysts, offering a brilliant step toward greener manufacturing.
For decades, scientists have wondered how memories persist inside a brain that constantly rewires itself. By observing the living brains of mice over a fortnight, researchers discovered that while individual connections fluctuate wildly, larger neural branches maintain a steady, reliable flow of information.
Using a computer simulation, researchers found that tourists often form 'information silos' that block the spread of conservation rules. Breaking down these social barriers through frequent interactions with locals could significantly improve environmental behaviour on the coast.
By using self-assembling molecules to create microscopic, uniform pores, chemists are engineering materials that are mostly empty space. These highly structured voids could vastly improve the efficiency of batteries, supercapacitors, and industrial catalysts.
Researchers have developed an automated software pipeline that translates complex quantum physics problems into a format readable by today's quantum computers. This technique successfully preserves the essential physics while mapping the problems to specific hardware.
A comprehensive review of over 225,000 patients reveals a significant link between gum disease and fatty liver. The connection is strongest when measured by cumulative gum tissue loss, suggesting dentists and liver specialists may need to integrate their care.
Agricultural pests quietly decimate global food supplies, making early identification vital. Researchers have now tested various artificial intelligence models to spot 19 different pest species, finding that hybrid algorithms offer a highly accurate method for identifying insects in complex field environments.
