Collaboration between Tasso and Parkinson's Foundation Reveals New Genetic Facts

PD GENEration has more than 30,000 participants, showing the genetic variants associated with Parkinson’s disease may be more common than previously reported. The collaboration expands participation in Parkinson’s genetic research by collecting variable, patient-specific blood. NEW YORK & MIAMI & SETTLE, March 31, 2026–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Parkinson’s Foundation today announced that more than 30,000 people with … Read more

New genetic mapping improves optimal treatment for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma

by
Molecular staging of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA)

picture: To address this challenge, the team identified low-intratumor heterogeneity/high-intertumor variability (LIHV) genes. This signature of 1,341 genes targets markers that remain consistent within a human tumor but vary greatly between patients. By filtering out the discrepant “noise”, the LIHV design enables a robust and reproducible classification of iCCA into five molecular subtypes, each associated … Read more

If you thought that the current crop of satellite megaconstellations was bad, you will be very disappointed by the new proposals from SpaceX and a company called Reflect Orbital. Their joint projects would change the night sky as we know it, and the world’s astronomical community is crying – especially letters from the Royal Astronomical … Read more

BRICS Vision 2026: Using new technologies for water security

by
Water (representational image)

India assumed the presidency of BRICS on January 1, 2026 at a time of intense global turmoil. The international system is under pressure from political fragmentation, climate disruption, and growing inequality in access to critical resources. For the Global South in particular, these pressures are not trivial—they manifest themselves every day in water stress, food … Read more

Scientists Have Just Discovered An Important Element Hidden In Water Before It Freezes

by
Heat chart

As water cools, its behavior becomes more surprising from a physics point of view, and researchers looking for an explanation have discovered something new: a previously hidden “point” that appears in supercooled water that doesn’t freeze. By varying pressure and temperature, scientists can keep liquid water below the normal ice surface. Previous studies have shown … Read more

Gynecological cancer screening: From professional to private

Article produced in partnership with Jeen Health and Spital Clinic Genetic testing for cancer risk in women, much of its medical history, is only available through a referral that includes a GP, a clinical genetic panel and family history testing that meets certain risk factors. The advent of directly accessible private tests has changed this … Read more

South Africa’s MeerKAT telescope is mapping the previously unseen regions between galaxies – and has discovered 60 new cosmic structures.

South Africa's MeerKAT telescope is mapping the previously unseen regions between galaxies - and has discovered 60 new cosmic structures.

Astronomers are discovering things that were once hidden inside some of the largest objects in the universe, known as galaxies. Using the powerful MeerKAT radio telescope in South Africa, researchers have mapped the extinction, the scattering of radio emissions, a signal that reveals the energetic processes that occur in the large spaces between galaxies when … Read more
