Researchers have discovered how key molecules interact in the major pathway regulating cell division. Disrupting this pathway may force cancer cells to divide prematurely, favoring their death. A class of molecules that inhibit Cdc25C has also been identified, suggesting a potential target for cancer therapies.
Researchers discovered an electrical abnormality in heart failure patients that prevents their hearts from recovering normally after each beat. This erratic and unstable ability to recover affects millions of Americans with heart disease, leading to potentially life-threatening rhythm disturbances.
Researchers at Penn State have developed a low-temperature nitrogen oxide reduction catalyst that can be used in small production boiler systems. The catalyst, tested at temperatures between 350-400°F, shows promise in eliminating the need for high-temperature baghouse bags and reducing costs.
Researchers at the University of Notre Dame have discovered a new subnuclear particle, an exotic meson, which is composed of quarks and antiquarks rather than just one type. The discovery was made possible by a high-energy particle experiment conducted at Brookhaven National Laboratory.
A new study suggests that electrified vehicle fleets could replace large central utilities as a major source of power generation. The research calculates that the US passenger-vehicle fleet has 10 times more potential to generate electricity than all the nation's electricity-generating equipment combined.
Researchers at Thomas Jefferson University found that two missing cancer-suppressor genes play a crucial role in female development, leading to catastrophic cell death. The study suggests that the combination of missing genes is lethal to female mouse embryos, offering new insights into cancer mechanisms and potential therapeutic strat...
