Researchers at Lehigh University have identified differences in the protein composition of bone marrow extracted from the hip versus the shoulder—an insight that could help refine regenerative treatments for joint injuries. The study, published in ACS Omega, used machine learning models to analyze 109 proteins and found six that may distinguish between the two extraction sites. The findings highlight how the source of bone marrow aspirate can influence its biological makeup, offering a framework for more standardized analysis of bone marrow-based therapies and other biological tissues.

Tricking cancer cells into self-destructing could reduce risk of recurrence and death in colon cancer by 50%, says new research from UC San Diego scientists.

A Swansea University volcanologist is set to explore one of Earth’s most mysterious underwater landscapes as part of a groundbreaking international expedition off the coast of Japan.

Researchers at the German Primate Center (DPZ) – Leibniz Institute for Primate Research in Göttingen have discovered that the brain reorganizes itself extensively across several brain regions when it learns to perform movements in a virtual environment with the help of a brain-computer interface. The scientists were thus able to show how the brain adapts when controlling motor prostheses. The findings not only help to advance the development of brain-computer interfaces, but also improve our understanding of the fundamental neural processes underlying motor learning (PLOS Biology).

Soil contamination remains a global challenge, threatening ecosystems, agriculture, and human health. Conventional remediation strategies, while effective, are often energy-intensive and carbon-heavy, limiting their long-term sustainability.
