Phys.org / Diatom-based microrobots show promise for targeted photodynamic therapy of glioblastoma
Researchers in China have developed magnetically controlled microrobots made from diatoms for the treatment of glioblastoma using photodynamic therapy. These microrobots exhibit excellent magnetic responsiveness and programmable ...
Medical Xpress / Tuning T cells' cancer-killing power via an engineered hydrogel platform
Lymph nodes, considered the command centers of our immune system, often get swollen and stiff when fighting infection. Now, a UC Berkeley-led team of researchers has discovered that this mechanical change may help instruct ...
Phys.org / Fortified salad packs a healthy punch to meet a growing vitamin B12 need
A pioneering research-industry partnership has used advances in indoor farming technology to grow pea shoots fortified with vitamin B12, opening an exciting route to market for farmers and addressing a major public health ...
Phys.org / Centuries of net-negative emissions are required to secure a safe climate future, two studies suggest
Two new studies conclude that stabilizing long-term climate risks will require sustained net-negative carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions for centuries. Approaching the problem from distinct perspectives—legal and technological ...
Tech Xplore / Dripping paint: Research resolves annoyance that hindered Michelangelo's 'The Creation of Adam'
More than 500 years ago, Michelangelo spent four years painting "The Creation of Adam" on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, struggling with paint dripping onto his face. He described the process as "closer to torture than ...
Phys.org / Gravitational waves reveal hidden structure of galactic centers
A new study published in Nature Astronomy indicates that the dense, star- and dark-matter–rich environments around supermassive black hole binaries pack on the order of a million solar masses into each cubic parsec. The ...
Medical Xpress / A single blood test can predict heart diseases up to 15 years before onset
A research team from the Department of Pharmacology and Pharmacy at the LKS Faculty of Medicine of the University of Hong Kong (HKUMed) has developed an innovative AI-based cardiovascular risk prediction tool, called CardiOmicScore. ...
Medical Xpress / AI-driven tool significantly personalizes antidepressant treatment, international trial finds
An AI-driven tool that tailors antidepressant treatment to individual patients was shown to improve outcomes for people with depression, compared to standard treatment, in a major international trial. It is the first time ...
Medical Xpress / Overlooked brainstem pathway that controls human hands offers stroke therapy targets
Researchers have identified a network of connections linking the brainstem and spinal cord that helps control hand and arm movements, revealing an unexpected layer of the nervous system enabling people to grasp, hold, and ...
Phys.org / Global sorghum 'pangenome' accelerates discovery of resilient crop traits
A team of international scientists, including researchers at the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center, reports a major advance in sorghum genomics: a powerful new resource designed to speed discovery of traits that help crops ...
Phys.org / Gut microbes: The secret to squirrel hibernation
When winter sets in and food becomes scarce, some mammals hibernate, entering a state of deep rest that slashes their energy needs and allows them to fast for months. However, fasting deprives them of essential nutrients, ...
Medical Xpress / Enhancing gut-brain communication reverses cognitive decline and improves memory formation in aging mice
Although we've all experienced the sensation of "eating" with our eyes and noses before food meets mouth, much less is known about the information superhighway, known as the vagus nerve, that sends signals in the opposite ...
