The research could lead to the targeted use of aspirin to prevent the spread of susceptible types of cancer, as well as the development of more effective drugs to prevent cancer metastasis. [ + ]

The breakthrough will enable more accessible, high-throughput cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk assessment in clinics and laboratories worldwide. [ + ]

Hot weather is responsible for an average of almost 50,000 years of healthy life lost to cardiovascular disease every year among people in Australia — a figure that could double, or even triple, by 2050. [ + ]

Gold nanoparticles are promising drug carriers for cancer therapy and targeted drug delivery, but tracking the movement of these nanoparticles in the body has been a major challenge. [ + ]

A gene variant common in Oceanian communities has been misclassified as a potential cause of heart disease, highlighting the risk of the current diversity gap in genomics research. [ + ]

Despite the emergence of more sophisticated bioreactor systems, shake flasks continue to play a crucial role. [ + ]

Men with the best semen quality can expect to live two to three years longer, on average, than men with the lowest semen quality. [ + ]

The water-rich iron mineral ferrihydrite may be the main culprit behind Mars's reddish dust, rather than the dry, rust-like mineral known as hematite. [ + ]

The recipient of the implant was discharged from hospital in February and received a donor transplant in March — 105 days after the procedure was performed. [ + ]

Researchers have improved gas-sensing technology by treating graphene sheets with plasma under different conditions, resulting in superior sensing performance. [ + ]

By modifying seven genes simultaneously, Colossal created mice with a coat colour, texture and thickness reminiscent of the woolly mammoth's core phenotypes. [ + ]

Two recent AI methods, RFdiffusion and ProteinMPNN, have totally changed the nature of biotherapeutics discovery. [ + ]

The first life on Earth formed four billion years ago, as microbes living in pools and seas: but how would we know if the same thing had happened on Mars? [ + ]

A potential new targeted therapy for childhood brain cancer is effective in infiltrating and killing tumour cells in preclinical models. [ + ]
