A new University of Michigan study tested a family-centered approach to firearm safety, which showed high feasibility and community support. Participants reported reduced concerns and improved communication with family members after completing the Family Safety Net intervention.
The partnership aims to create high-quality jobs, advance innovation, and establish the Coquimbo region as a leader in astronomy. A national visitor and education center will showcase technological innovation and scientific discoveries, supporting workforce development and promoting astronomy tourism.
Researchers found that younger mice had lower cancer spread, while middle-aged mice were more likely to experience aggressive melanoma. Middle-aged mice also had fewer immune cells called gamma delta (γδ) T cells, which help prevent cancer from spreading.
A study found that economic interests influenced Japanese legislators' behavior, with sanction-hit industries supporting military-backed policies and procurement sectors showing no shift. This challenges the common view of economic beneficiaries as authoritarian supporters.
A study identified exosomal microRNA-122-3p as a key driver of MASLD pathogenesis. Elevated miR-122-3p levels induced triglyceride accumulation and reactive oxygen species production in liver cells.
Construction on Sandia's largest project of the past decade is nearing completion with the installation of the final beam. The 136,000-square-foot facility will replace an aging site and provide a more efficient design for power sources research and development. Completion is expected in 2028 at a projected cost of $400 million.
A first-in-human trial shows that an infusion of immune cells derived from a donor's blood can prime the recipient's immune system to accept a donor liver, potentially reducing lifelong immunosuppression. Eight out of 13 participants achieved complete withdrawal of immunosuppression and remained off for more than three years.
Scientists at Kyushu University have developed a simple method to produce hydrogen gas by mixing methanol with iron ions and irradiating it with UV light. The reaction produces a considerable amount of hydrogen gas comparable to that of previously reported systems, opening up new possibilities for sustainable hydrogen technologies.
Researchers have successfully imaged the detailed workings of a cell membrane protein, called TMEM16 scramblase, which has essential roles in all animals. The discovery could lead to new therapeutic strategies for blood coagulation disorders, cancers, and other conditions in which the protein works abnormally.
A new report published in Nature Metabolism sheds light on fructose's distinct role in driving metabolic disease, separate from its caloric contribution. Fructose bypasses key regulatory steps, leading to increased fat synthesis and cellular energy depletion, which may contribute to metabolic syndrome.
A team of undergraduate students built a cavity detector to search for axions and set new experimental limits on their properties. The result was achieved with relatively limited resources, showcasing the potential for small-scale experiments in precision cosmology.
