Medical Xpress / Pancreatic tumors use clotting pathway to build immune shields, study finds
Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have found that small populations of pancreatic cancer cells can create localized immune-protective niches that shield tumors from immune attack. The finding could ...
Phys.org / AI helps microscopes find the most informative nanoscale features in a sample
Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have developed an artificial intelligence framework that helps researchers use atomic force microscopes to identify important nanoscale features ...
Medical Xpress / Masked antibodies may open intracellular treatment route for Parkinson's disease
Over the past few decades, antibody-based therapies have revolutionized modern medicine and are now widely used to treat cancer, autoimmune diseases, inflammatory disorders and even infectious diseases. Despite their success, ...
Phys.org / Researchers pinpoint key early-universe measurement with record precision
An international team, including researchers from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, has reached a major milestone in "precision cosmology" by measuring the amount of helium created in the universe's first five minutes ...
Phys.org / AI automates 3D membrane mapping, matching manual results in a fraction of time
Cell membranes and the proteins within them control many vital processes and play a key role in health and disease. But studying them in 3D images of cells has so far meant slow, manual work. A team from Helmholtz Munich, ...
Medical Xpress / AI virtual cell uses protein dynamics to predict personalized breast cancer treatments
Not all cancer cells are the same, and neither are their responses to drugs. Finding the right drug for the right cancer cell is a long battle in drug development and in designing effective treatments. A new AI tool called ...
Phys.org / A 1,000-fold longer charge lifetime helps organic catalyst produce solar hydrogen faster
Researchers from the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), in collaboration with researchers from the Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry of CAS, ...
Phys.org / Ancient armored fish evolved two distinct ways to crush prey 385 million years ago
Long before dinosaurs appeared on Earth, fierce predatory fish developed crushing jaws and sharp teeth to survive and diversify in ancient oceans.
Medical Xpress / Rare cortical neurons can synchronize brain activity and promote sleep in mice
What makes the brain fall asleep? For nearly a century, scientists have looked to structures deep within the brain for the answer. In the traditional view, these regions control when we sleep and wake, while the cerebral ...
Medical Xpress / Early blood protein clues could identify children at risk of cardiometabolic disease
Researchers at Vanderbilt Health, UTHealth Houston and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have identified early signs of cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic disease (CKMD) in children as young as 8 years old that ...
Medical Xpress / New analysis points to low overdiagnosis in breast cancer screening
When women take part in breast cancer screening, they are informed that screening may detect cancers that would never have caused symptoms or problems during their lifetime. This is known as overdiagnosis.
Phys.org / JWST ruled out finding tiny moons around an exoplanet—that's great news
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has opened many wonders of the cosmos to scientists since it began science operations a few years ago. But one thing it hasn't done is find an "exomoon." These still-theoretical moons ...
