Why some oesophageal cancers are so hard to treat

A four-year study in the Dutch part of the North Sea shows that a small-scale offshore solar farm did not cause measurable changes in currents and water mixing.

The new experimental compound works through an epigenetic mechanism that acts not only on the symptoms of the disease, but directly on the molecular mechanisms that contribute to its progression.

Three striking new species of rock-dwelling monitor lizards have been  formally described  from the savannas of north-eastern Queensland, revealing a previously unrecognised evolutionary lineage. The discovery, led by researchers from The Australian National University (ANU), identified the Rainbow Rock Monitor ( Varanus iridis ), the Orange-headed Rock Monitor ( Varanus umbra ) and the Yellow-headed Rock Monitor ( Varanus phosphoros ).

There is more than just graphene: In an interdisciplinary project, researchers have focused on a new class of two-dimensional materials known as MXenes. This versatile group of materials is suitable for a wide range of applications, from energy storage to medicine.

How does a tiny cluster of cells become an embryo with a head, trunk, and tail? And how do thousands of genes coordinate this development? A new imaging method makes it possible to visualize the activity of thousands of genes simultaneously throughout the entire zebrafish embryo. Using this technology, a research team at the University of Basel has created an atlas of all genes and cells involved in turning a cluster of cells into an embryo.

This weekend we will be switching to a new system for handling student queries. From 16 March you can track the status of your question or request in your portal. Click to read the news article. Better insulation and ventilation in social housing means that children need less medication for asthma or allergies.

The University and University Hospital of Würzburg have demonstrated magnetic particle imaging on humans for the first time. The new procedure enables radiation-free visualisation of blood vessels in real time.

Does feeding less protein over a longer period not only reduce nitrogen losses, but also affect methane emissions? Researchers at Wageningen University & Research (WUR) investigated this in a multi-year study with dairy cows, funded by the Vereniging Diervoederonderzoek Nederland (VDN), LVVN and the Melkveefonds.

In Yellowstone National Park, birds primarily search for food in areas where wolves frequently hunt prey.

Although invasive alien species are very often reduced to predators eliminating defenseless prey, in reality they do more than simply weaken certain species: they fundamentally reshape the environment itself.
