Medical Xpress / Scientists in France pinpoint why STING pathway hasn't been harnessed for cancer therapy yet
Deep within the cellular landscape, a quiet failure was taking place, impeding a potentially successful form of cancer treatment. For years, scientists hoped an essential part of the innate immune system that detects foreign ...
Phys.org / Ig Nobel Prize winners reveal why babies smell better than teenagers
Babies smell wonderful—at least to their parents. An international research team of Ilona Croy, Tomasz Frackowiak, Thomas Hummel and Agnieszka Sorokowska investigated why teenagers lose this special olfactory advantage and ...
Medical Xpress / Cancer medication helps reduce SIV reservoir, increasing hope for HIV cure
Emory University researchers have provided the first proof of concept in a nonhuman primate model for eliminating HIV-infected cells with venetoclax, a clinically approved cancer medication. Venetoclax effectively targets ...
Medical Xpress / Gut bacteria linked to key brain chemicals in first-of-its-kind human study
The neuroactive potential of bacteria living in the human gut is associated with levels of key chemicals in the brain, according to a new study published in Molecular Psychiatry. The research team from the University of Surrey ...
Phys.org / Hot subdwarfs come into focus as AI scans thousands of stars in Gaia data
There are myriad ways of "being a star," and scientists spend years trying to uncover and understand them. One unusual type is the so-called hot subdwarf—small stars that burn mysteriously hot for their size. Scientists from ...
Phys.org / Soft nanoscale confinement prevents ice, exposing water's liquid-to-glass transition
An international collaboration of researchers has used ANSTO's facilities to uncover new properties of one of the most fundamental everyday materials, water, and answer an important scientific question. The findings, published ...
Phys.org / From peas to potatoes, AI identifies nearly 800 promising plant proteins for food and cosmetics
Scientists from Leeds' School of Food Science and Nutrition have developed an advanced AI process that can rapidly identify plant proteins capable of acting as emulsifiers from tens of millions of initial candidates. To date, ...
Phys.org / Hubble tracks new decagon encircling Saturn's south pole
Recent observations with NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have revealed a giant, evolving, 10-sided atmospheric wave encircling Saturn's south pole. This discovery marks the first time a large, regular-sided jet pattern has ...
Medical Xpress / Stress proteins actively sustain joint inflammation in osteoarthritis, study finds
Why do some joints remain chronically inflamed in osteoarthritis and other rheumatic diseases? Researchers have taken an important step toward answering this question. Their findings, published in the journal Cell Death & ...
Medical Xpress / How meal timing programs the liver's daily rhythms
Deep inside the brain, a master clock synchronizes thousands of molecular clocks scattered throughout the body, and together, they anticipate signals such as the rising sun, the coming night and the daily rhythms of life. ...
Phys.org / Heat has a memory—and a new theoretical framework can track it
Heat, it turns out, has a memory. A cooling cup of coffee may not seem particularly thoughtful. At the scale of a kitchen, heat appears to follow a straightforward rule: it moves from warmer places to cooler ones. Leave the ...
Phys.org / Warming seas could shrink most mollusks by 2100, but some may grow
Research led by scientists at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette challenges a long-held assumption about the effects of climate change on marine life: Warmer oceans won't simply make animals smaller.
