Glioblastoma is a scary brain cancer. People with it usually don't live more than a year and a half after they're diagnosed. Scientists are trying to figure out how to fight it. One protein, called Connexin43 (Cx43), is tricky. It can do good things, like stopping tumors from growing. But in gliobl
The idea of bringing back dinosaurs has always been a hot topic. The latest film in the Jurassic series shows a mutated dinosaur called D-Rex. This creature has human-like arms and a big head. It eats humans and shows that messing with dinosaur DNA is a bad idea. The movie suggests that even if we c
China's space program is making waves with its ambitious Tianwen-2 mission. This isn't just another space adventure; it's a bold attempt to explore two celestial bodies in one go. The probe has already sent back a stunning photo of Earth and the Moon from half a million kilometers away. Pretty cool,
Cerium oxide nanoparticles are making waves in the world of medicine. These tiny particles are special because they can switch between different states. This makes them super stable and easy to produce in large quantities. Making these nanoparticles is like a science experiment. Scientists use diff
Peach gum polysaccharides (PGP) are getting a lot of attention these days. But there's a problem: they're too big to use easily. Scientists found a way to break them down using an enzyme called xylanase. This made the PGP smaller and easier to work with. The new, smaller PGP, called enzyme-extracte
Maize is a big deal. It's a staple food for many people around the world. But growing it in dry, arid places is tough. That's why scientists are always looking for new types of maize that can handle harsh conditions and still give good harvests. Recently, researchers in Egypt tested 14 new kinds of
People often wonder how lifting weights and taking certain hormones affect muscles and nerves. A recent investigation dug into this by looking at how resistance training and a specific hormone, nandrolone decanoate, change the way muscles connect with nerves and how certain proteins are made. First
Scientists have created a new type of membrane that can quickly and efficiently separate oil from water. This is a big deal because oily wastewater is a major problem in many industries, and current solutions often fall short due to something called membrane fouling. That's when oil sticks to the me
Lubricants are super important in space tech. They keep things moving smoothly. But how do they act when gravity changes? That's what this study looked into. Scientists used fancy computer models to see how different gravity levels affect a common space lube called PAO. They found some cool stuff.
Mosses are tiny but mighty. They are some of the oldest plants on land and play a big role in nature. They also have uses in gardening and medicine. But studying them is tough. There aren't many experts who can tell one type of moss from another. That's where DNA barcoding comes in. It's a tool tha
