Cancer drugs known as BET inhibitors once looked like a breakthrough, but in real patients they've often fallen short. New research reveals a key reason why: two closely related proteins, BRD2 and BRD4, don't actually do the same job. Instead, BRD2 . ...

A breakthrough in microbiome research could change how colorectal cancer is detected--no colonoscopy required. Scientists used AI to map gut bacteria at an unprecedented level of detail, revealing subtle microbial patterns linked to cancer. By ...

Earth's nights are steadily getting brighter overall, but the changes vary dramatically by region. Rapid urban growth is lighting up countries like China and India, while parts of Europe are dimming due to energy-saving efforts and new lighting ...

A hidden waste-removal pathway in the brain has finally been caught in action. Using cutting-edge MRI scans, researchers discovered that fluid flows along the middle meningeal artery in a slow, lymphatic-like pattern--very different from blood. This ...

Dragonflies may see the world in a way that pushes beyond human limits--and surprisingly, they do it using the same molecular trick we evolved ourselves. Scientists discovered that these insects can detect extremely deep red light, even edging into . ...

Your brain might be quietly deciding what tastes good before you even take a sip. Researchers found that simply changing what people thought they were drinking--sugar or artificial sweetener--could dramatically shift how much they enjoyed it. When .. ...

Scientists are uncovering a surprising connection between autism and ADHD that goes deeper than labels. Instead of diagnoses, it's the severity of autism-like traits that seems to shape how the brain is wired--even in children who don't officially .. ...

A new study reveals that gut bacteria may play a key role in triggering ALS and frontotemporal dementia. Harmful sugars produced by these microbes can spark immune responses that damage the brain. This breakthrough explains why some genetically at .. ...

Not all parts of our genetic code are equal, even when they appear to say the same thing. Scientists have discovered that cells can detect less efficient genetic instructions and selectively silence them. A protein called DHX29 plays a key role in .. ...

Weight loss drugs and bariatric surgery may work differently, but they lead to surprisingly similar results inside the body. Both significantly reduce fat while also causing a modest loss of muscle, reshaping overall body composition. Since muscle .. ...
