Novel cell death gene signatures predict colorectal cancer prognosis

Novel cell death gene signatures predict colorectal cancer prognosis

Credit: Mohammed Haneefa Nizamudeen/Getty Images Genes related to anoikis, a mechanism of cell death, have been linked to colorectal cancer. Using scRNA-seq data, the researchers identified seven marker genes associated with anoikis and divided colorectal cancer (CRC) samples into high/low prognosis groups. They found significant differences in immune infiltration, distribution of immune checkpoints, sensitivity to … Read more

Tips and tricks for drivers in Cape Canaveral

Large crowds of launch spectators on the A. Max Brewer Bridge in Titusville return to their vehicles in May 2020 after a cleanup of the historic SpaceX Demo-2 flight, the first American crewed mission in nearly a decade.

For generations, Space Coast roads have been clogged with empty vehicles when hundreds of thousands of spectators flock to watch high-profile launches, such as when up to 250,000 out-of-county visitors were expected for NASA’s historic SpaceX Crew-1 astronaut mission. in November 2020. But in general, the crush of drivers has decreased. Brevard County hosted a … Read more

What links our Siberian ancestors to an increased risk of developing multiple sclerosis?

What links our Siberian ancestors to an increased risk of developing multiple sclerosis?

The genetic predisposition to suffer from multiple sclerosis (MS) is closely related to historical migration patterns and the lifestyle of our ancestors. Specifically, MS is linked to genetic contributions made by nomadic populations that arrived in Western Europe 5000 years ago from the Siberian Steppe. Human genomes vary by 0.1%, and this variation is often … Read more

Population genetic diversity is a major factor in the reproductive success of flowering plants

May 22, 2024May 22, 2024 When we see large fields filled with flowering plants and lots of bees and other pollinators, people may assume that plant reproduction is not a problem. But looks can be deceiving. Research by Clemson University biologist Matthew Koski and former Clemson postdoctoral researcher Anita Cisternas-Fuentes has revealed that genetic … Read more

Unlocking the quantum code: International team cracks a long-standing physics problem

SciTechDaily

Researchers have developed a new method called wavefunction matching to tackle the sign problem in Monte Carlo simulations, a common issue in many-body quantum physics. By simplifying the interaction model and using perturbation theory for corrections, this method has proven effective in accurately calculating nuclear properties such as mass and radius. It holds promise for … Read more

How will Artemis astronauts be protected from solar storms?

How will Artemis astronauts be protected from solar storms?

BOULDER The upcoming Artemis moon crew missions, which will send astronauts beyond the protective cocoon of Earth’s magnetic field, are prompting a look at the rules of flight and sharpening space weather forecasting skills. Our planets atmosphere and magnetic field protect us from the steady stream of radiation and charged particles emitted by the Sun. … Read more
