Medical Xpress / Researchers reveal key differences in STING inhibition between humans and mice
Researchers have long focused on the STING (Stimulator of Interferon Genes) pathway as a way to harness the immune system's natural defenses against cancer. This pathway, which plays a key role in helping the body defend ...
Phys.org / Aquarium makes history in first-of-its-kind procedure for Kimalu, a beluga whale
Kimalu (KEE-ma-loo), a 12-year-old female beluga whale, is resting comfortably following a historic procedure at Chicago's Shedd Aquarium. On Tuesday, July 1, Kimalu, who was born at Shedd, underwent a first-of-its-kind surgery ...
Phys.org / Global survey finds individual merit, not solidarity, prioritized by early childhood education policies
Do we climb the social ladder alone or with help from our communities? Early childhood education (ECE) policies are betting on the former, according to a study published in PLOS One by Katarzyna Bobrowicz from the University ...
Phys.org / Biologgers on large sharks show rays wielding a shocking defense strategy in the wild
While more traditional defense methods like camouflage, venom and spines appear ineffective against large sharks and mammals, electric rays are sending out electric discharges to fend off sharks in dangerous waters, said ...
Phys.org / Q&A: Astrophysicist explains how black hole mergers and quasars help detect gravitational wave networks
When black holes need a place to crash, they prefer a nice, bright quasar.
