GPR52’s Role in Breast Cancer Cell Organization and Collective Invasion
Breast cancer cells do not always spread as solitary invaders. In many of the most difficult-to-treat tumors, they move through surrounding tissue as coordinated groups,...

Drug combination shows promise against advanced prostate cancer
A new study from researchers at the University of Michigan has identified a potential two-drug strategy for treating an aggressive form of prostate cancer that...
Bringing Optical Fibre Materials to Photonic Chips
Optical fibres have carried the world’s internet traffic across oceans and continents because they can guide light for astonishing distances with remarkably little loss. Now,...
UCLA study: Concrete’s carbon absorption barely offsets cement production emissions
Concrete may absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, but the process is far too slow and limited to counteract the emissions generated by cement production,...
Study reveals how NF1 loss enables ER-positive breast cancer bone metastasis
A Baylor College of Medicine-led research team has identified a molecular route by which estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer cells may become especially capable of...
Nanoscience and Liquid Crystals Unite in Functional Hybrids With Transformative Applications
Liquid crystals are best known as the active materials inside televisions, smartphones, and computer monitors. Yet their scientific potential extends far beyond the familiar world...
How New Complex Conditions Influence Medicare Advantage Enrollment Decisions
A new complex medical diagnosis may do more than reshape a patient’s treatment plan. It may also influence which health insurance system that patient chooses,...
Delayed antiviral response in alveolar type 2 cells heightens influenza susceptibility
Influenza A virus (IAV) may target the lung’s most vulnerable cells not because they allow the virus to enter more efficiently, but because they are...
Dryland dumpsites could be overlooked hotspots of microplastic pollution
Dryland dumpsites may be doing far more than storing discarded plastic. A new review suggests that the intense sunlight, dramatic temperature swings, abrasive winds and...
UC Study Finds Too Few Eligible Americans Discuss Lung Cancer Screening
Lung cancer screening can detect tumors before symptoms appear, when treatment is more likely to succeed, yet a national analysis suggests that the conversation needed...
Designing Better Biomedical Hydrogels Through Molecular Building Blocks and Hierarchical Structures
A new review suggests that the next generation of biomedical hydrogels could be designed less like uniform gels and more like precisely engineered miniature landscapes,...
Study finds mergers reduce company costs without lowering consumer prices
