Algorithms
Researchers at Boston University have made a significant contribution to the field of neurophysiology by developing an evolutionary algorithm, the genetic stochastic delta rule (GSDR), that can simulate biophysical neural networks and replicate oscillatory dynamics observed through in-vivo electrophysiology. This approach has the potential to broaden the scope for biology-plausible,
Communicable diseases
A team of researchers from the Biomedical Primate Research Centre (BPRC) has made a significant breakthrough in the study of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). According to a new study, positron emission tomography (PET) tracers may hold the key to improving the diagnosis and treatment of TB. The study, published in Molecular
Cells (Biology)
Researchers from the Max-Planck-Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences have made a significant discovery in the field of cell biology, shedding light on the molecular targets of Mos-MAPK and its role in meiotic cell cycle and asymmetric oocyte divisions. The study, published in the Journal of Cell Biology, used starfish oocytes to
Video production
Low bandwidth consumption online content editing systems and methods, which can be used for collaborative content creation and editing, have been the subject of a patent application filed by inventors Bjorn Rustberggaard and Jostein Svendsen. This technology aims to address the challenges associated with editing high-definition/quality content on less
Fact checking
A team of researchers from Nanjing University has published a groundbreaking study on fact-checking in the field of information technology. The study aimed to develop a method for automatically recognizing persuasive fact-checking articles and providing insights into their discourse structures. Using a corpus of 420 annotated articles and a BiLSTM
Antibiotics
Recent research has shed new light on the potential of a natural compound, juglone, in combating bacterial infections. A team of scientists from Xinjiang Agricultural University discovered that juglone exhibits strong antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella pullorum. These pathogens are significant threats to livestock and poultry
Biosynthesis
Researchers at Lanzhou University in Lanzhou, People's Republic of China, have made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of peptides and proteins. According to a recent study published in Organic Letters, the team has identified a novel family of lipolasso peptides that have been produced through a unique
Phosphatases
The development of SHP2 inhibitors for cancer treatment has become increasingly important, given the critical role of SHP2 in cell signaling and its association with various diseases such as diabetes, autoimmune diseases, and cancers. SHP2 is highly expressed in several types of cancers, including breast cancer, esophageal cancer, lung cancer,
Antisense RNA
Researchers from Waseda University have made a groundbreaking discovery regarding the role of telomerase RNA in ensuring germline immortality in nematodes. According to the study, the telomerase RNA component 1 (TR1) is expressed as an intronic long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) embedded in an intron of a germline-up-regulated gene. This intron
Cancer metastasis
The European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) 2025 Congress saw the presentation of data from the Phase 1b/2 OrigAMI-4 study evaluating the efficacy and safety of subcutaneous amivantamab monotherapy in patients with human papillomavirus (HPV)-unrelated, recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M HNSCC) after
Electric equipment industry
Recent studies have explored the unique properties of uranium mononitride (UN), a potential advanced nuclear fuel with high thermal conductivity and high fissile density. Researchers at North Carolina State University (NC State), supported by Westinghouse Electric Company and the United States Department of Energy (DOE), have conducted molecular dynamics (MD)
