Medical Xpress / B cells may help predict risk of colitis from immunotherapy
Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have identified a previously unknown role for B cells, adaptive immune cells, in triggering and sustaining colitis as a side effect of immune checkpoint inhibitors, ...
Phys.org / Black holes from stellar to supermassive size may follow one jet-launching rule
An early-career Western Australian astrophysicist has helped uncover a universal rule behind one of the most powerful behaviors in the universe: when black holes launch jets. The discovery, published in the journal Nature ...
Phys.org / Nullarbor mapping reveals surface signs of deep, hidden cave systems
Mysterious trenches stretching for kilometers across southern Australia's Nullarbor Plain have been revealed as the surface footprints of deep, hidden ancient cave systems.
Phys.org / Ubiquitin marks abnormal glycogen for destruction to protect the brain, study finds
Researchers at the University of Cambridge and the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology have discovered a previously unknown cellular defense system that protects the brain from abnormal glycogen accumulation, which is linked ...
Phys.org / A finely tuned mess—how disorder can make networks more stable
Perfection is overrated—at least when it comes to complex systems like the power grid, food webs and advanced materials. For decades, scientists generally assumed that networks function most reliably when their individual ...
Medical Xpress / New report finds gaps in HIV testing, diagnosis and prevention
A new study from La Trobe University has identified significant gaps in HIV testing, diagnosis and prevention that are leaving some people vulnerable to infection, despite major advances in treatment and care.
Phys.org / Newfound fungal nutrient-sensing mechanism could advance biofuels and disease control
Scientists have taken a step toward a better understanding of how fungi sense and respond to nutrients in the environment, which is critical for engineering fungi for green technologies and combating fungal pathogens and ...
Phys.org / A famous galaxy's black hole has been hiding its most violent behavior
Astronomers have found that a nearby galaxy's black hole is blasting out a far more powerful and hidden gas outflow than previously realized. Studying NGC 1068, a well-known galaxy with an actively feeding black hole at its ...
Phys.org / The surprising history of woolly rhinos: They weren't always creatures of the frozen north
Woolly rhinoceroses (Coelodonta antiquitatis) were fascinating creatures: giant, lumbering Ice Age beasts with thick fur and massive horns that died out about 11,000 years ago. Previous genetic studies had left open the question ...
Tech Xplore / AI imagines a harsher social world, expecting punishment where people expect inaction
Artificial intelligence (AI) systems, particularly the large language models (LLMs) that underpin ChatGPT and similar platforms, are remarkably skilled at answering queries about a wide range of topics. However, the extent ...
Phys.org / Bizarre galactic radio source remains active for two decades with no detectable X-rays
Astronomers have identified a peculiar radio transient in the Milky Way that has remained active for more than two decades, defying the behavior expected of known classes of galactic radio sources. The paper posted to the ...
Medical Xpress / A single protein may help aggressive breast cancer spread to the brain and evade immune defenses
Researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine have identified a protein that may help an aggressive form of breast cancer spread to the brain and escape the body's immune defenses.
