A new study published in Cell Death Discovery identifies diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 1, or DGAT1, as an important regulator of macrophage pyroptosis during infection with Klebsiella...
ML Identifies Brain Regions Linked to Impulsivity in Young Adults With Obesity
Obesity may leave a measurable signature in the brain, according to a new large-scale neuroimaging study that uses machine learning to identify the neural anatomy...
AI Helps NUS Researchers Decode Singapore Shophouses’ Architectural DNA
Singapore’s historic shophouses have long been read as fragments of the city’s past: rows of colourful façades, covered walkways and ornamental details shaped by trade,...
Marine fungi harbor giant endogenous viral remnants that co-diversified with their hosts
Marine fungi may be preserving a hidden record of ancient viral evolution, according to a study by S.K. Whitner, A.S. Amend and A.I. Culley published...
Gene Family Reveals How Tropical Crops Adapt to Heat
A sweeping genomic analysis of the spurge family has uncovered how heat shock protein 20 genes may help economically important plants withstand rising temperatures and...
Fungal Necrotizing Otitis Externa: Three Key Clinical Questions Answered
Fungal necrotizing otitis externa, a rare but potentially life-threatening infection that can extend from the external ear canal into the skull base, is frequently difficult...
More Electrons, Fewer Interfaces: Halide Cathodes Raise All-Solid-State Battery Energy Density
Halide cathode materials, once sidelined because they dissolve in conventional liquid electrolytes, are emerging as potential game-changers for all-solid-state lithium batteries. A comprehensive review in...
Recurrence-linked eccDNA patterns offer new prognostic insights for lung adenocarcinoma
Lung adenocarcinoma, the most common histological form of lung cancer, can appear to have been completely removed after surgery while microscopic disease remains capable of...
