A new model that accounts for the interplay of forces acting on newborn planets can explain two puzzling observations that have cropped up repeatedly among the more than 3,800 planetary systems cataloged to date.
Berlin [Germany], October 23 (ANI): Researchers in Berlin have spent decades researching a peculiar hereditary illness that results in extraordinarily short fingers and incredibly high blood pressure in half of the members of specific families. By the time they become 50, affected persons typically succumb to a stroke if untreated.
Berlin [Germany], October 19 (ANI): Scientists in Berlin have been studying a strange hereditary condition that causes half of the certain families' members to have unusually short fingers and extremely high blood pressure for decades. If untreated, affected patients usually die of a stroke when they reach the age of 50.
Washington [US], October 11 (ANI): A new advance overcomes present limitations in spatial transcriptomics with a DNA nanotechnology-driven method called 'Light-Seq.' Light-Seq allows researchers to 'geotag' the full repertoire of RNA sequences with unique DNA barcodes exclusive to a few cells of interest. These target cells are selected using light under a microscope via a fast and effective photocrosslinking process, and their RNAs made available to next-generation sequencing with the help of a new DNA nanotechnology-driven technique. This entire process can then be repeated for different cell populations in the same sample.
Heidelberg [Germany], September 19 (ANI): When free radicals become uncontrollable and destroy the protective cell membrane in a chain reaction, a cell dies of ferroptosis. When healthy cells are subjected to oxidative stress, they are occasionally damaged. Cancer cells, in particular, are vulnerable to ferroptosis due to their highly active metabolism, but many of them escape this fate. Researchers around the world are looking for the factors that make a cell susceptible or resistant to ferroptosis so that they can potentially influence this type of cell death therapeutically, according to a study.
Heidelberg [Germany], August 21 (ANI): Researchers from the German Cancer Research Center (Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum, DKFZ) and the Hebrew University in Jerusalem have discovered the cell of origin of mixed liver/biliary duct carcinomas, a rare type of liver cancer, in mice. Interleukin 6 is a pro-inflammatory immunological messenger that has been linked to cancer development (IL-6). The amount and size of tumours were reduced in mice after IL-6 was blocked.
Heidelberg [Germany], August 19 (ANI): The cell of origin of mixed liver/biliary duct carcinomas, a rare type of liver cancer, has been found in mice by researchers from the German Cancer Research Center (Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum, DKFZ) and the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Carcinogenesis has been linked to the pro-inflammatory immunological messenger interleukin 6 (IL-6). In mice, blocking IL-6 lowered the number and size of tumours.
Washington [U.S], July 25 (ANI): In the blood, a sensor finds indicators for misfolded protein biomarkers. This provides a chance to identify Alzheimer's before any symptoms appear. Investigators want to make it ready for the market.
The Hague [Netherlands], March 22 (ANI): The European Bangladesh Forum, a platform of Bangladeshi diaspora in Europe, will organize an international conference at a university in The Hague on Thursday.
