Radical new treatment system lights up cancer therapy
1hOne approach to treating cancer is photodynamic therapy using photo-uncaging systems, in which light is used to activate a cancer-fighting agent in situ at the tumor. However, suitable agents must be stable under visible light, have an anti-tumor effect in low-oxygen environments, and have the ability to be activated by low-energy tissue-penetrative red light—a combination of properties that is di
Life on Earth might really have started with clay
1hLife on Earth may have gotten its start between mica sheets, Helen Hansma argues. In mythologies and origin stories around the world, various cultures and religions point to clay as the vessel of life, the primordial material that creator gods imbued with a self-sustaining existence. Nowadays we have biology to explain how life comes to be, but could these tales of old hit closer to the mark than

How Do Fireflies Flash in Sync? Studies Suggest a New Answer.
2hIn Japanese folk traditions, they symbolize departing souls or silent, ardent love. Some Indigenous cultures in the Peruvian Andes view them as the eyes of ghosts. And across various Western cultures, fireflies, glow-worms and other bioluminescent beetles have been linked to a dazzling and at times contradictory array of metaphoric associations: “childhood, crop, doom, elves, fear, habitat change
Save $50 and Protect Your Home with Eufy’s Security Video Doorbell and Other Great Deals

Plant breeding: Using 'invisible' chromosomes to pass on packages of positive traits
2hThe ideal crop plant is tasty and high-yielding while also being resistant to diseases and pests. But if the relevant genes are far apart on a chromosome, some of these positive traits can be lost during breeding. To ensure that positive traits can be passed on together, researchers have used CRISPR/Cas molecular scissors to invert and thus genetically deactivate nine-tenths of a chromosome. The t

Land plants have developed a peculiar correction mode: They do not directly improve the errors in the genome, but rather elaborately in each individual transcript. Researchers at the University of Bonn have transplanted this correcti
A new genetic sampling technique for salt marsh harvest mice and other small mammals
23hFrom species of marmots to moles, shrews and mice, many of the world's endangered mammals are small. Genetic sampling is important for understanding how to conserve and protect their populations. But finding efficient, non-invasive ways to collect genetic samples from small animals can be challenging.
Why Typhoon Merbok Was So Powerful when It Hit Alaska
23hTyphoon Merbok heavily damaged Alaskan communities, many of which are Indigenous and rely on subsistence hunting that residents would normally be doing right now
A better understanding of crop yields under climate change
23hYou don't need a Ph.D. in agriculture to know that water is critical to crop production. But for years, people like Jonathan Proctor, who has a Ph.D. in Agriculture and Resource Economics from the University of California Berkeley, have been trying to explain why the importance of water isn't showing up in statistical models of crop yield.
How many ants are there on Earth?
23hHow many stars are there in our galaxy? How many grains of sand in the Sahara? How many ants live on Earth? These are all questions that seem impossible to answer. However, through intensive and extensive data analysis, science is coming amazingly close to finding the solutions. When it comes to ants, a team led by Würzburg biologists Sabine Nooten and Patrick Schultheiss has done just that.
Amino acid supplement is a key to reproductive health in dairy cows
23hLysine is an essential amino acid for dairy cows, helping boost milk production when added to the diet at adequate levels. But could lysine benefit cows in other ways? A new University of Illinois study shows rumen-protected lysine can improve uterine health if fed during the transition period. The study, "Effect of feeding rumen-protected lysine through the transition period on postpartum uterine
NASA gears up for Artemis I tanking test for shot to launch next week
23hThe fixes have been addressed, so now it's time to add some stress to ensure NASA's Artemis I mission success.
Undergrad publishes theory on immune dysfunction in space
23hIt's been known for decades that though astronauts' immune systems become suppressed in space, leaving them vulnerable to disease, the exact mechanisms of immune dysfunction have remained a mystery. Now a Cornell undergraduate has found a potential solution.

Wildfire smoke may have amplified Arctic phytoplankton bloom
23hSmoke from a Siberian wildfire may have transported enough nitrogen to parts of the Arctic Ocean to amplify a phytoplankton bloom, according to new research from North Carolina State University and the International Research Laboratory Takuvik (CNRS/Laval University) in Canada. The work, which appears in Communications Earth & Environment, sheds light on some potential ecological effects from Nort
Researcher helps identify new evidence for habitability in ocean of Saturn's moon Enceladus
23hThe search for extraterrestrial life has just become more interesting as a team of scientists, including Southwest Research Institute's Dr. Christopher Glein, has discovered new evidence for a key building block for life in the subsurface ocean of Saturn's moon Enceladus. New modeling indicates that Enceladus's ocean should be relatively rich in dissolved phosphorus, an essential ingredient for li
Student evaluations show bias against female professors
23hDespite earning more than half of all doctoral degrees conferred in the U.S., women are significantly underrepresented in faculty positions at colleges and universities. This is particularly true in tenure-track and tenured positions, with women making up just over a third of all full professors. Women are also less likely to receive tenure or be promoted to full professor, a situation known as th

Oops! Ethereum's Merge May Cause Huge Problems With the SEC
23hEthereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency by trading volume, has officially switched from a proof-of-work to a proof-of-stake system, a major upgrade called "the Merge" that dramatically cuts its carbon footprint by cutting out the role of crypto miners. But the change may have had another unintended consequence: regulators are now pondering whether they should treat ether as a security followi
Google Accidentally Sends Bored Ape Engineer $250,000

23hGoogle $250 000 Engineer
Wrong Button Everybody makes mistakes. Even Google. And sometimes, apparently, Google's mistakes include accidentally handing a self-described hacker and BAYC-creating Yuga Labs security engineer nearly $250k. According to a tweet from Sam Curry , the engineer in question, the mystery payment appeared in his bank account a few weeks ago. Figuring it was likely an error on Google's end, he filed a
Best Smart Thermostats in 2022
23hSmart thermostats are the only way to heat or cool your home in the age of Alexa. A smart thermostat is WiFi-enabled, so you can adjust the temperature of your home at any given moment from anywhere in the world. You can also monitor changes, schedule temperature changes days or weeks in advance, and most importantly, heat or cool your spaces as efficiently as possible. But which smart thermostat
Now You Can Kill KKK Klansmen in Virtual Reality
23hBad Guys Ever wanted to inflict vengeance against the Ku Klux Klan? Thanks to a new virtual reality mod, you can — in excruciatingly brutal detail. "I have always wanted to do that!" exhorted modder JackTheFallout in a video of their private mod of the medieval fantasy VR game "Blade and Sorcery," which, as of now, is only available to those who can prove that they can handle its "controversial"
A stem cell roadmap of ribosome heterogeneity reveals a function for RPL10A in mesoderm production
23hNature Communications, Published online: 19 September 2022; doi:10.1038/s41467-022-33263-3 How ribosomes differ in composition and function to regulate gene expression is poorly understood. Here, the authors show that ribosome composition changes during stem cell differentiation and identify a ribosomal protein that regulates production of the mesoderm lineage.
Angiocrine extracellular vesicles impose mesenchymal reprogramming upon proneural glioma stem cells
23hNature Communications, Published online: 19 September 2022; doi:10.1038/s41467-022-33235-7 Glioma stem-like cells (GSCs) exhibit plasticity during proneural-to-mesenchymal transition. Here the authors show that extracellular vesicles from endothelial cells can promote this transition of GSCs through activation of MMPs and NFkB, and inactivation of NOTCH.
