A newly identified loss of cellular identity may enable colorectal cancer cells to enter a highly flexible state that promotes liver metastasis. For many patients with colorectal cancer, the greatest threat is not the original tumor but its ability to spread to the liver. Once that happens, treatment becomes far more difficult and survival rates […]

These 3 Common Sleep Habits May Be Aging Your Brain Faster
A large study of more than 23,000 adults suggests that certain sleep habits may be linked to signs of brain aging years later. Sleep habits may influence how the brain ages over time. A new University of Arizona study suggests that several common sleep patterns are associated with signs of brain aging. The study, published […]
Japanese Researchers Unlock a Powerful New Way To Edit and Assemble DNA
Silver nanoparticles provide a more efficient way to cut and assemble DNA, improving recovery rates and boosting DNA joining efficiency for future gene engineering applications. DNA is made of long chains that carry the instructions living things need to grow and function. In genetic engineering, researchers cut DNA at chosen locations and attach the pieces […]

Scientists May Have Discovered How To Heal Damaged Kidneys
Researchers have uncovered a molecular pathway that appears to block kidney regeneration after injury. The body’s ability to repair damaged organs is surprisingly limited, especially after serious injuries to the heart or kidneys. Now, UCLA researchers have found that a drug originally developed to help heart tissue regenerate after a heart attack may also accelerate […]
A Plastic Motor Just Defied a Century of Engineering Assumptions
Electrostatic forces enable low-voltage actuation without relying on rare earth materials. Nearly every electric motor in modern life, from the fan on your desk to the motor in an electric vehicle, relies on magnetism. For more than a century, magnetic fields have dominated motor design because electrostatic forces were considered too weak for practical machines. […]
