Eating less protein may slow liver cancer growth, study finds

People whose livers do not function properly may be able to lower their chances of developing liver cancer, or slow the disease if it has already begun, by making a simple change to their diet: eating less protein. A study led by Rutgers researchers and published in Science Advances found…

Carenza di farmaci in Ue, in Italia episodi cresciuti del 5% – Sanità – Ansa.it

 La carenza di medicinali, in Europa, non è “più un fenomeno episodico, ma una caratteristica radicata e persistente della filiera farmaceutica”. È quanto denuncia un rapporto realizzato dal Pharmaceutical Group of the European Union (Pgeu), l’associazione che riunisce le principali organizzazioni dei farmacisti in Europa, secondo cui nel 2025, nel…

This ancient sea creature may already have had a brain

Detailed three dimensional reconstructions of a key sensory structure in ctenophores reveal far greater structural and functional complexity than scientists previously recognized. The results suggest that a simple brain like system may have existed in some of the earliest animals, offering new insight into how nervous systems evolved. Ctenophores (commonly…

Astronomers discover giant cosmic sheet around the Milky Way

Nearly a century ago, astronomer Edwin Hubble discovered that almost all galaxies are receding from the Milky Way. This observation became a cornerstone of modern cosmology because it provided key evidence that the universe is expanding and that it began with the Big Bang. Even during Hubble’s era, however, astronomers…

Electrons catapult across solar materials in just 18 femtoseconds

Scientists have discovered that electrons can be propelled across solar materials at speeds close to the fastest nature allows, a result that challenges long accepted ideas about how solar energy systems operate. The finding could open new paths for designing technologies that capture sunlight more efficiently and convert it into…

AI blood test finds silent liver disease years before symptoms

Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) driven liquid biopsy that analyzes genome wide patterns of cell free DNA (cfDNA) fragments circulating in the blood. The test examines how these DNA pieces break apart and where they appear across the genome. Using this…

Scientists discover the switch that revives exhausted cancer-fighting T cells

Researchers from the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, and UC San Diego have identified new genetic mechanisms that influence how key immune cells decide their fate. These cells, known as CD8 “killer” T cells, can either develop into durable defenders that provide lasting protection or…

Humpback whale recovery is changing who fathers the calves

A new study from the University of St Andrews, published on February 27 in Current Biology, shows that the influence of age on male humpback whale reproduction has shifted as whale populations rebound after centuries of commercial whaling. Whaling once pushed many large whale species to the edge of extinction.…

Scientists finally see the atomic flaws hiding inside computer chips

Researchers at Cornell University have used high resolution 3D imaging to identify atomic scale defects inside computer chips for the first time. These tiny imperfections can interfere with chip performance, making them a major concern for modern electronics. The new imaging technique was developed through a collaboration with Taiwan Semiconductor…

ALMA captures the most detailed image ever of the Milky Way’s turbulent core

Astronomers have unveiled a striking new view of the center of the Milky Way, exposing an intricate network of cosmic gas filaments in unprecedented detail. The image was produced using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and forms the largest ALMA dataset ever assembled. This massive map will help scientists…

Scientists discover a hidden force that helps wire the brain

As the brain develops, neurons grow long extensions known as axons. These structures connect different regions of the brain and transmit signals both within the brain and throughout the body. To establish these connections, axons must travel along very specific routes through brain tissue. Their journey depends on chemical signals…

Giovane accoltellato a Milano, 4 minorenni in carcere – Notizie – Ansa.it

Per una battuta giudicata offensiva, quattro minorenni hanno aggredito un ventenne accoltellando poi con ferocia l’amico che era intervenuto per difenderlo a Milano. Il giovane ferito, un 24enne, secondo la ricostruzione dei Carabinieri è stato preso a calci e pugni quando era già a terra, con in corso una grave…
