Rare treefrog discovered in the Andes of Ecuador

Researchers at the University of Bristol discovered that ancient frog ancestors survived the biggest mass extinction of species by eating on freshwater prey that evaded terrestrial predators.

A new study led by Professor Gemma Harvey from Queen Mary University of London has revealed how hundreds of species shape the landscapes we depend on, from termite mounds visible from space to beavers creating wetlands and hippos carving drainage systems.

Researchers at the University of Surrey made a thought-provoking discovery. A new study reveals that opposing arrows of time can theoretically emerge from certain quantum systems.

Collagen, the body's most abundant protein, has long been considered a predictable structural component of tissues.

The majority of known asteroids orbit inside the main asteroid belt, which is positioned between Mars and Jupiter at an average distance of around 250 million km from Earth. Since the discovery of the first asteroid in 1801, about 750.000 asteroids have been identified, primarily in the last decade thanks to several optical surveys that examine the sky on clear nights.

The majority of cancer deaths are caused by metastatic disease, which occurs when cancer spreads from the primary tumour to other areas of the body. and researchers understand how cancer cells escape the primary location to seed new tumours, it is unclear why some cancer cells produce new tumours decades later and others do not.

Pregnancy is a transforming period in a person's life during which the body undergoes rapid physiological adjustments to prepare for parenthood, as we all know. What the broad hormonal alterations caused by pregnancy do to the brain is still a mystery.

It has been suggested that the immune system is unable to eradicate invasive tumour cells by referring to cancer as "a wound that does not heal."

A recent Cedars-Sinai Cancer study found that up to 80 per cent of the time, patients with early pancreatic cancer are incorrectly staged. The discovery highlights the critical need for improvements in staging and diagnostic technology, which could have a substantial impact on early pancreatic cancer research and therapy.

Researchers in Melbourne have achieved a first for the world: they have successfully created blood stem cells that closely resemble human tissue. Additionally, the discovery may eventually result in customized therapies for kids suffering from bone marrow failure syndromes and leukaemia.
