Medical Xpress / Newly identified immune cell type could hold key to preventing scar tissue buildup in wounds
Researchers at the University of Arizona have uncovered a previously unknown population of circulating immune cells that play a critical role in fibrosis, the buildup of scar tissue that can lead to organ failure and disfigurement. ...
Medical Xpress / Myeloid mimicry enables kidney tumors to resist immunotherapy and worsen rapidly, study finds
Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have found that renal medullary carcinoma (RMC) cells use an adaptive mechanism called "myeloid mimicry" to hide from the immune system and promote disease ...
Phys.org / New X-ray method captures 3 image-contrast types in a single shot
University of Houston researchers developed a new X-ray imaging method capable of revealing hidden features in a single shot, a breakthrough that could advance cancer detection, disease monitoring, security screening and ...
Tech Xplore / Programmable metamaterial can morph into more configurations than there are atoms in the universe
The Wave Engineering for eXtreme and Intelligent maTErials (We-Xite) lab, led by engineering assistant professor Osama R. Bilal, has developed a reconfigurable metamaterial that can control sound waves—bending them, dampening ...
Phys.org / A 65-year-old linguistics framework challenged by modern research
In a re-evaluation of Hockett's foundational features that have long dominated linguistic theory—concepts like "arbitrariness," "duality of patterning," and "displacement"—an international team of linguists and cognitive ...
Phys.org / Can narrating immigrants' pain and tragedy reduce perceived threat to Muslim immigrants in the US?
US media and politicians often celebrate beautiful stories of immigrants arriving in America, finding a new home, and thriving in the land of opportunity.
Tech Xplore / Who is to blame when AI goes wrong? Study points to shared responsibility
Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming an integral part of our everyday lives and with that emerges a pressing question: Who should be held responsible when AI goes wrong? AI lacks consciousness and free will, which makes ...
Medical Xpress / HER2-targeted therapy shows promising results in rare bile duct cancers
Zanidatamab, a bispecific HER2-targeted antibody, delivered clinically meaningful and durable responses for patients with HER2-positive biliary tract cancer (BTC), according to final results from the HERIZON-BTC-01 clinical ...
Tech Xplore / Stress and a toxic workplace culture can cause insider cybersecurity threats
While most organizations address cybersecurity issues with technology and surveillance, Emmanuel Anti's research argues that empathy may be a more effective defense. His doctoral dissertation at the University of Vaasa explores ...
Phys.org / Media, sentiment, power: Study shows negative media coverage of migrants triggers discriminatory welfare decisions
In recent years, right-wing populist parties have experienced significant political success across nearly all Western democracies. With their increasing political establishment, xenophobic attitudes have become normalized. ...
Phys.org / Puzzling ultraviolet radiation in the birthplaces of stars
Researchers used the MIRI instrument onboard the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to identify the presence of ultraviolet radiation in five young stars in the Ophiuchus region, and to understand its role in the formation ...
Phys.org / Adaptive method helps light-based quantum processors act more like neural networks
Machine learning models called convolutional neural networks (CNNs) power technologies like image recognition and language translation. A quantum counterpart—known as a quantum convolutional neural network (QCNN)—could ...
