The polarization of fast radio bursts (FRBs), which are bright astronomical transient phenomena, contains information about their environments. Using wide-band observations with two telescopes, we report polarization measurements of five repeating FRBs and find a trend of lower polarization at lower frequencies. This behavior is modeled as multipath scattering, characterized by a single parameter, σ, the rotation measure (RM) scatter. Sources with higher σ have higher RM magnitude and scattering time scales. The two sources with the highest σ, FRB 20121102A and FRB 20190520B, are associated with compact persistent radio sources. These properties indicate a complex environment near the repeating FRBs, such as a supernova remnant or a pulsar wind nebula, consistent with their having arisen from young stellar populations.

Mass balance, metabolic disposition, and pharmacokinetics of a single IV dose of [14C]CA102N in HT-29 xenograft athymic nude mice.

Introduction: CA102N is a novel anticancer drug developed by covalently linking H-Nim (N-(4-Amino-2-phenoxyphenyl methanesulfonamide) to Hyaluronic Acid to target CD44 receptor-rich tumors. The proposed approach seeks to enhance the efficacy and overcome limitations associated with H-Nim, including poor solubility and short half-life.
Methods: The study aimed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, biodistribution, metabolism, and tumor permeability of [14C] CA102N in xenograft mice following a single intravenous dose of 200 mg/kg.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to create a novel conformal elliptical-cylinder resonator, called MICER, to improve wrist MRI scans at 1.5 T and assess its clinical utility.
- - Researchers compared MICER with a traditional 12-channel wrist coil using various MRI sequences and analyzed images from a phantom and 14 wrists of healthy volunteers, focusing on image quality metrics like signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR).
- - Results showed that MICER provided significantly better SNR and CNR for wrist tissues compared to the 12-channel wrist coil, suggesting its promising role in enhancing MRI quality in clinical settings.
Article Synopsis
- Researchers studied yellow-spotted monitors, large varanid lizards in tropical Australia, finding they reach sexual maturity in under a year but have short lifespans, rarely living beyond 2 years for females and 4 for males, particularly before the arrival of toxic cane toads.
- The study revealed a faster life history for these lizards compared to other monitor species, with males growing rapidly during the wet season but facing high predation risk from pythons.
- The yellow-spotted monitors are vital to their ecosystem as apex predators, but their high feeding rates and communal nesting make food webs more susceptible to disruption from invasive cane toads.

Radionuclide theranostics - a fast-growing emerging field in radiopharmaceutical sciences and nuclear medicine - offers a personalised and precised treatment approach by combining diagnosis with specific and selective targeted endoradiotherapy. This concept is based on the application of the same molecule, labelled with radionuclides possessing complementary imaging and therapeutic properties, respectively. In radionuclide theranostics, radionuclide pairs consisting of the same element, such as Cu/Cu, Pb/Pb or I/I are of significant interest due to their identical chemical and pharmacological characteristics.

Previously, we described that Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine nucleobases were superconductors in a quantum superposition of phases on each side of the central hydrogen bond acting as a Josephson Junction. Genomic DNA has two strands wrapped helically around one another, but during transcription, they are separated by the RNA polymerase II to form a molecular condensate called the transcription bubble. Successive steps involve the bubble translocation along the gene body.
