An unusually round and symmetrical deposit on Mars may be the result of an impact that popped the surface of the planet, causing a volcanic eruption less than 200,000 years ago
Soil’s earthy smell comes from chemicals produced by bacteria called Streptomyces, which use the odour to attract springtails to help disperse their spores
Glass has an unusual atomic structure that resembles a liquid frozen in place, making it hard to predict how it will behave. DeepMind has developed an AI capable of doing so, which may also be able to predict traffic jams
In 2012, mathematician Shinichi Mochizuki produced a proof claiming to solve the long-standing ABC conjecture, but no one understood it. Most mathematicians still don't, but it will now be published in a journal
The age of a whale shark can be determined by dating the rings of growth in their cartilage, a method that has confirmed that these animals can live for at least 50 years
Is our love affair with AI really about building a new kind of deity to meet human needs no amount of rationality can fill? Max Barry's disturbing novel Providence lays out the case, says Sally Adee
With all the unknowns about covid-19, any numbers you hear about death tolls or how long restrictions will last should be taken not just with a pinch of salt but with a sack of it

In melanoma brain metastases patients, complications after GKRS are not significantly increased if IT/TT treatment is performed at the time of or after radiosurgery, and a clear benefit in distant control and survival is seen. Thus, concomitant treatment of MBM with GKRS and IT/TT seems to be a safe and powerful treatment option. Abstract Background Few safety data of concurrent stereotactic radiosurgery and targeted therapy (TT) or immunotherapy (IT) are available. The aim of the study was...
Low dose radiotherapy is a valuable and non‐toxic treatment option in the form of indolent lymphoma. The effectiveness of low‐dose radiotherapy is similarly maintained when repeated once or even twice (RT1, RT2 and RT3). Abstract Purpose In patients with indolent B‐cell non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma (B‐NHL), one course of low‐dose radiotherapy (LD‐RT) 2 × 2 Gy is emerging as new option of therapy in palliative setting. Efficacy of LD‐RT when repeated remains to be determinate. This study aims to assess...
The transcriptional data of circRNAs and mRNAs were deeply detected by high‐throughput RNA sequencing and systematically analyzed using bioinformatics in patients with BC; and these eight dysregulated circRNAs were also verified by real‐time qRT‐PCR. Correlation analysis of clinicopathological features and survival analyses of circRNAs in BC were conducted. Functional experiments with circ_0077837 and circ_0004826 overexpression significantly weakened the progression of BC cells. Abstract Growing...
Inhibited SNHG3 could suppress the progression of prostate cancer cells. MiR‐577 could bind to SNHG3 and regulate the progression of prostate cancer. SNHG3/miR‐577/SMURF1 axis was found in prostate cancer cells. SNHG3/miR‐577/SMURF1 axis could modulate the progression of prostate cancer cells. SNHG3 inhibition could reduce the progression of prostate tumor. Abstract Prostate cancer remains one of the most prevalent cancers and the main causes of cancer‐related deaths in males. Various articles...
Our studies in chronic insulin‐treated HCT‐116 cells suggested that metformin could inhibit Bcl‐2 expression, and its mitochondrial translocation to facilitate mitochondrial apoptosis via AMPK/Erk signaling pathway. Abstract Background Several studies have suggested that drug resistance in colon cancer patients with diabetes may be associated with long‐term insulin administration, which in turn decreases the survival rate. Metformin is a commonly used drug to treat diabetes but has been recently...
Mass spectrometry‐based profiling identified proteomic changes associated with recurrent somatic FBXW7 mutations and shared in two biologically distinct serous endometrial cancer cell lines. Most notably, a correlation between PADI2 protein and FBXW7 mutation was demonstrated in serous endometrial cancer cells and confirmed in an endometrioid endometrial cancer cell line. PADI2 protein expression was further demonstrated in primary serous endometrial tumors. Abstract Background Despite advancements...

Abstract The larynx and vocal folds sit at the crossroad between digestive and respiratory tracts and fulfill multiple functions related to breathing, protection and phonation. They develop at the head and trunk interface through a sequence of morphogenetic events that require precise temporo-spatial coordination. We are beginning to understand some of the molecular and cellular mechanisms that underlie critical processes such as specification of the laryngeal field, epithelial...

Όταν κάποιος ομολογεί, χωρίς να το θέλει, την αλήθεια κάνοντας γλωσσικό σφάλμα, χρησιμοποιούμε τη φράση Γλώσσα λανθάνουσα τα αληθή λέγει. Ναι, αυτή είναι η σωστή φράση και όχι «Γλώσσα λανθάνουσα την αλήθεια λέει (ή αλήθεια λέγει)». Πιο αναλυτικά: Τα λάθη που γίνονται στην ομιλία, από βιασύνη ή παραδρομή, φανερώνουν τις αληθινές σκέψεις ή επιθυμίες αυτού που ομιλεί. […]
Ο χρόνος γυρίζει πίσω, περισσότερο από 100 χρόνια, εικόνες μοναδικές! Οι φωτογραφίες είναι ένα πραγματικό ταξίδι στον χρόνο από το 1897 μέχρι περίπου το 1955… φωτογραφικό υλικό: Γιάννης Δεσποτάκης
«ζαβαρακατρανέμια». Το τραγούδι γράφτηκε στα χρόνια της Χούντας και το μήνυμά του ήταν αντιδικτατορικό. Τους στίχους και τη μουσική έχει γράψει ο Γιάννης Μαρκόπουλος και το τραγούδησε για πρώτη φορά ο Νίκος Ξυλούρης το 1968 στο δίσκο «Επιχείρησις Απόλλων». Οι στίχοι του τραγουδιού είναι: Ζαβαρακατρανέμια ζαβαρακατρανέμιαΑλληλούια αλληλούιαΖαβαρακατρανέμιαίλεως ίλεως λάμαλάμα νάμα νάμα νέμιαΑλληλούια αλληλούιαΊλεως ίλεως ίλεωςίλεως […]
Κουκουμάφκα ή Κουκουμάθκα Κουκουμάφκα: Λέγεται κι έτσι η κουκουβάγια στους νομούς της κεντρικής και ανατολικής κυρίως Μακεδονίας…” Aναφέρεται και ως Κουκουμάτσια (στα αρβανίτικα). Είναι βουλγάρικη λέξη (кукумявка= κουκουβάγια, γλαύκα), θηλυκό ουσιαστικό όπως και στα ελληνικά. Και στις δυο γλώσσες οι αντίστοιχες λέξεις είναι ηχομιμητικές, και διαφέρουν ανάλογα πώς ακούς τη φωνή του πουλιού: κουκουβάγια < από το […]

by Ming Li, Christopher B. Ball, Geoffrey Collins, Qiaolin Hu, Donal S. Luse, David H. Price, Jeffery L. Meier Herpesvirus late promoters activate gene expression after viral DNA synthesis has begun. Alphaherpesviruses utilize a viral immediate-early protein to do this, whereas beta- and gammaherpesviruses primarily use a 6-member set of viral late-acting transcription factors (LTF) that are drawn to a TATT sequence in the late promoter. The betaherpesvirus, human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), produces...
by Xuan Zhong, Lu Feng, Ru Zang, Cao-Qi Lei, Qing Yang, Hong-Bing Shu The retinoic acid-inducible gene-I (RIG-I)-like receptors (RLRs), including RIG-I and melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (MDA5), sense cytoplasmic viral RNA and initiate innate antiviral responses. How RIG-I and MDA5 are differentially regulated remains enigmatic. In this study, we identified the guanylate-binding protein (GBP) and zinc-finger FYVE domain-containing protein ZFYVE1 as a negative regulator of MDA5- but...
