Neuroendocrine cells are unique in their ability to act both as nerve cells and hormone-making cells. They’re scattered throughout the body, including the stomach, intestines, pancreas and lungs. Tumors that arise from these cells are called neuroendocrine tumors and are often rare and slow growing.

Around 70% of all neuroendocrine tumors arise in the pancreas or gastrointestinal tract and are known as gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, or GEP-NETs. Targeting these tumors is often challenging because cells become resistant to treatment.

In a recent study published in the journal Cell Reports Medicine, University of Michigan researchers have identified a new target that can suppress tumor growth. Their findings may lead to new treatment methods for GEP-NETs.

Deep beneath island arcs, new research suggests that gold enrichment originates from repeated, high-degree melting of a hydrous mantle rather than a single process.

Galactic magnetic fields may arise surprisingly fast, driven by collapsing plasma and turbulent flows.

36 npm packages disguised as Strapi plugins exploit Redis and PostgreSQL via postinstall scripts, enabling persistent access and data theft.

Microsoft has resolved a known issue that was preventing some Classic Outlook users from sending emails via Outlook.com.

As the company explained when it acknowledged the issue last week, affected users were being warned that some of their messages hadn’t reached intended recipients.

Microsoft said that those experiencing this issue would encounter it more often when the Outlook.com account they used to send emails was an Outlook profile linked to another Exchange account.

Aughts excellence.

A massive new analysis of over 1,700 languages shows that some long-debated “universal” grammar rules are actually real. By using cutting-edge evolutionary methods, researchers found that languages tend to evolve in predictable ways rather than randomly. Key patterns—like word order and grammatical structure—keep reappearing across the globe. The results suggest shared human thinking and communication pressures shape how all languages develop.
