Mars may have built a surprisingly complex crust through large magmatic systems without the plate tectonics long thought necessary. Mars has no moving tectonic plates, yet deep beneath its surface may lie evidence of the kind of vast, interconnected magmatic systems once thought to require them. Researchers from the University of Oxford have found signs […]

A tiny chemical difference makes RNA better than DNA at forming liquid-like droplets under high temperatures and acidic conditions. One of the biggest puzzles in origin of life research comes before the first cells even existed: How could RNA molecules gather in one place, interact, and help produce early life without cellular compartments to hold […]

In addition to diet and medication, person-to-person transmission can also play an important role in shaping the microbiome. The human gut contains a vast community of trillions of microorganisms (the microbiome) that helps shape digestion, immune function, and metabolism. A team led by the University of Vienna used a method called ‘reverse ecology’ to show […]

Researchers identified a promising approach to slowing treatment-resistant prostate cancer by targeting two key cancer pathways at the same time. Prostate cancer is diagnosed in about one in eight men during their lifetime. Many survive the disease, but for some, it eventually spreads beyond the prostate and becomes metastatic. In the United States, prostate cancer […]

Improved fitness did not prevent prolonged sitting from impairing blood-vessel function in the legs. Long hours of sitting are often treated as something a good workout can offset. But new research from Dalhousie University suggests the cardiovascular effects of prolonged inactivity may be harder to undo. Published in the European Journal of Applied Physiology, the […]
