Medical Xpress / Immune receptor plays dual role in promoting T-cell exhaustion in cancer
A new Northwestern Medicine study has uncovered how a key immunoregulatory receptor plays an unexpected dual role in promoting T-cell exhaustion during chronic infection and cancer, according to findings published in the ...
Medical Xpress / LIG1 loss exposes a therapeutic vulnerability in triple-negative breast cancer
Loss of one copy of the DNA ligase I (LIG1) gene in triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC) with TP53 mutations confers resistance to chemotherapy, but researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions ...
Phys.org / Wildfire smoke from Canada and Minnesota pushes farther into the US and engulfs DC in haze
Millions of people in the Great Lakes, Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states muddled through another day of unhealthy air from uncontrolled wildfires on Friday.
Tech Xplore / Engineers shrink powerful terahertz systems onto a single semiconductor chip
High-frequency waves classified as terahertz occupy a relatively underused region of the electromagnetic spectrum between infrared light and microwaves. Researchers have long recognized their unique potential for applications ...
Tech Xplore / Engineers develop robot that judges its surroundings and walks, runs, and jumps like an animal
An era in which robots decide "how to walk" on their own has arrived. A four-legged robot has been developed that, much like a person or an animal, autonomously chooses the appropriate gait strategy for its surroundings—changing ...
Medical Xpress / Missing metabolite may drive rare childhood brain disorder, new biosensor reveals
Scientists at Children's Medical Center Research Institute at UT Southwestern (CRI) have discovered why babies born with a rare inborn error of metabolism called GPT2 deficiency suffer from severe neurological impairment. ...

A new study published in Nature Communications reveals a hidden source of antibiotic resistance, providing an early warning sign for researchers and public health officials.
Phys.org / Invertebrates can distinguish good from bad bacteria
Researchers from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) and Kiel University (CAU) have examined immune system function in an early-branching animal—a sea anemone. They discovered that the immune systems of these animals ...
Medical Xpress / Common diet tips about water intake and spicy foods could be wrong
The common rationale for drinking water at meals is that it physically stretches the stomach, triggering fullness so you don't eat too much. But a new Cornell study found no support for that idea in practice. The paper is ...
Phys.org / Scientists achieve all-electrical control of single-molecule quantum states
Quantum technologies promise revolutionary advances in computing, sensing and information processing. However, controlling individual quantum bits (qubits) at the atomic scale remains a major challenge because conventional ...
Tech Xplore / New contact material improves efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells
A newly developed material for the electron contact improves the efficiency of single perovskite solar cells and perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells. The new material is based on a carborane molecule. It offers several ...
