Scientists have identified a key vulnerability in cancers with FANCA gene mutations. By blocking a protein called AURKA, researchers successfully forced these specific cancer cells to self-destruct in laboratory models.
Researchers have controlled the atomic warping of high-entropy perovskite oxides to improve water-splitting efficiency. By manipulating crystal symmetry, they created a stable catalyst that lowers the energy required for hydrogen production. This method, currently demonstrated at the laboratory scale, suggests a new way to tap into a vast, unexplored design space for clean energy materials.
Scientists analysed 22,000 global ocean records to map nitrogen-fixing microbes. They discovered that warmer tropical waters host the highest diversity, and areas with more species show significantly higher rates of nitrogen fixation.
A clinical trial of 5,429 patients found that cheap, everyday aspirin is just as effective at preventing blood clots after joint surgery as expensive blood thinners. This finding suggests healthcare systems can simplify recovery protocols without increasing patient risk. Future medical analysts will use data science to further custom-tailor these simple recovery plans.
