A protein-building molecule helped switch resistant prostate tumors back into a drug-sensitive state in experimental models, offering a potential target for future treatments. Many treatments for prostate cancer, one of the most common cancers in men, target a protein called the androgen receptor, which fuels tumor growth. Tumors can escape that approach by becoming less […]
Scientists Discover Aspirin May Slash Dementia Risk by 70% – but Only for Certain People
Aspirin was linked to a sharply lower dementia risk in some older adults, and their genes may hold the clue. A Monash University analysis found that older adults with a particular genetic profile had about a 70 percent lower relative risk of dementia when taking low-dose aspirin. But serious bleeding was also more common in […]
Scientists Build a World-First DNA Computer That Runs Without Continuous Power
Reusable for up to 25 different calculations, a DNA computer points toward possible uses in energy-efficient computing and long-term data storage. A DNA computer has added 10 and 3 in 30 seconds, using interacting strands in water instead of a silicon chip. Developed by researchers at Maynooth University (MU), the system can also multiply and […]

Scientists Just Discovered a Major Problem With Lab-Grown Human Embryo Models
A map built from more than 14,000 embryo cells reveals what stem cell models get right about early human development and where researchers could improve them. Under a microscope, a cluster grown from stem cells can resemble a human embryo in its first days of development. These structures, called blastoids, offer scientists a way to […]
Scientists Discover a Surprising Link Between Obesity and Dementia Survival
A large study found that people who are overweight or obese when diagnosed with dementia have a significantly lower risk of death than those at a normal weight. A higher body weight at the time of a dementia diagnosis may be linked to longer survival, according to a large study of older Americans. Researchers found […]
