Average long-term US mortgage rates holds at 6.35% this week ahead of expected Fed rate cut

Times Union 

The average rate on a 30-year mortgage in the U.S. was flat this week ahead of an expected interest rate cut from the Federal Reserve later this month.

Starting a fluorescent biosensor revolution

Sciencedaily.com 

A major step forward toward biosensor devices that can provide fast, high-contrast detection of biomarkers in almost any environment are 'binding-activated fluorescent biosensors.' Now, a research collaboration has developed a synthetic biology platform that streamlines their up-until-now tedious and expensive discovery, as well as their molecular evolution and cost-effective manufacturing, opening a plethora of new biomedical and environmental opportunities.

For many animals sleep is a social activity, but it's usually studied as an individual process

Sciencedaily.com 

Group sleeping can impact when animals sleep, how long they sleep for, and how deeply they sleep. For example, groups of meerkats time their sleep according to 'sleep traditions'; olive baboons sleep less when their group size increases; bumblebees suppress sleep in the presence of offspring; and co-sleeping mice can experience synchronized REM sleep. To fully understand both sleep and animal social structures, we need to pay more attention to the 'social side' of sleep, animal behaviorists argue.

Human brain cancers fire electrical impulses -- researchers reveal unexpected hybrid cell spiking the signals

Sciencedaily.com 

Researcher have uncovered a new cell type in the human brain that fires electrical impulses. The cells are hybrids, part neuron and part glia, and are present in both glioma, a type of brain tumor, and in normal brain. The newly discovered hybrid cells support the groundbreaking idea that neurons are not the only cells that can generate electric signals in the brain. In glioma, the higher the firing activity of the hybrid cells, the better the patient's outcome, suggesting a prognostic value.
