A new study applying multi-omics techniques and machine learning identified 33 plasma proteins that differ significantly in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The findings suggest ALS could be detected up to 10 years before symptoms appear, offering promise for reliable diagnostic biomarkers.

The integration of advanced high-throughput sequencing technologies, such as whole genome sequencing (WGS) for the early detection of rare diseases, such as ALS, could give clinicians and patients a critical window for medical intervention, ultimately improving outcomes.

A new study from Tel Aviv University has predicted, for the first time, the groundbreaking results that can be obtained from detecting radio waves coming to us from the early Universe. The findings show that during the cosmic dark ages, dark matter formed dense clumps throughout the Universe, which pulled in hydrogen gas and caused it to emit intense radio waves. This leads to a novel method to use the measured radio signals to help resolve the mystery of dark matter.

A recent study published in National Science Review conducted change detection in the youngest, topographically steepest, and theoretically most unstable regions on the lunar surface, revealing a large number of new landslides formed since 2009. Endogenic moonquakes rather than new impacts are the primary trigger, and the Imbrium basin may host an active seismic zone.
