A study published in Nature Communications found that the diameter of participants' pupils varies according to the perceived number of dots, indicating a relationship between numerical information and perception. This ability has practical implications for early identification of dyscalculia in young children.
A study investigates the role of the TGF-β/SOX9 axis in promoting cancer migration and invasion in oral squamous cell carcinoma. The research found that CAF-induced TGF-β1 upregulates SOX9 expression, leading to increased cancer invasiveness and poor prognosis. The findings suggest a potential therapeutic target for developing novel tr...
The AbacusSummit simulations are the largest-ever produced, clocking in at nearly 60 trillion particles. They will help scientists extract information about the universe from upcoming surveys of the cosmos.
A new online calculator, CoRiCal, has been launched to help people make informed decisions about COVID-19 vaccines. The tool provides personalized risk calculations based on individual circumstances, such as age, sex, and community transmission.
Researchers at Bar-Ilan University have developed a novel treatment method that destroys cancer cells by targeting the cytoskeletal protein WASp, which is unique in active hematologic cancer cells. The approach uses small molecule compounds identified through AI and machine learning to inhibit proliferation and destroy malignant cells.
