Medical Xpress / AI framework helps identify new targets for CAR T cell therapy
Leading CAR T cell therapy researchers have developed a human-in-the-loop artificial intelligence (AI) framework that centers scientists' expertise to find viable target antigens for CAR T cell therapy. The work was led by ...
Medical Xpress / Combination therapy can help global fight against antibiotic resistance
A Monash University-led study has found that an unusual pairing of two commonly used antibiotics can kill and stop the spread of resistance in a highly drug-resistant bacterium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which can cause life-threatening ...
Science X / AI in the classroom: Are we building better thinkers or better shortcuts?
AI chatbots like ChatGPT have made their way into college life, sparking an important debate: Do these tools actually help students become better thinkers, or are they just a shortcut? Universities want to foster critical ...
Phys.org / Students' climate model of deadly July 4 Texas flooding suggests sea surface temperatures actually reduced rainfall
Last fall, the 12 students in the Jackson School of Geosciences' GEO 347G "Climate System Modeling" class set out to understand something that hit close to home: What were the climatological factors that made the July 4, ...
Medical Xpress / Healthy gut microbes in 6-week-old infants linked to lower risk of malaria during first year of life
In a small study in the Democratic Republic of Congo, 6-week-old infants with healthy gut microbiomes were less likely to contract malaria in their first year of life. While the study is preliminary, it suggests the possibility ...
Phys.org / Megacluster of bacterial genes reveals four antibiotics that jointly starve rivals of biotin
Researchers at McMaster University have discovered what they describe as a "megacluster" of genes in Streptomyces bacteria that produces four antibiotics that work together to stop rival bacteria.
Phys.org / Language-based screeners may miss kids who struggle to read due to visual-processing issues
Reading difficulties, like dyslexia, are common and often affect achievement and outcomes during school and later in life. A new study, published in Current Biology, reports that current methods used to test for reading disabilities ...
Tech Xplore / Plain-language AI workflow tool could cut cloud energy use and costs dramatically
Agentic workflows are artificial intelligence-powered software systems that chain together multiple models and external tools to tackle complicated tasks, like analyzing a video and answering questions about it. But the way ...
Tech Xplore / Brain-inspired AI architecture could compute faster while using far less power
Spiking neural networks (SNNs) are artificial intelligence (AI) models inspired by how biological neurons communicate with each other. While biological neurons exchange information in the form of electrical impulses, SNNs ...
Phys.org / New electrocatalyst helps turn polluted water into fertilizer and polymers
A new electrochemical system simultaneously converts plant-derived materials and nitrate pollutants into valuable industrial chemicals. Developed by Tohoku University researchers, the system provides a more sustainable way ...
Medical Xpress / Hope for spinal injuries as pigs walk again after experimental gel treatment for severed spinal cords
In humans and other mammals, spinal cord injuries can be devastating, leading to permanent loss of movement, sensation and bladder control. When severed axons (the long fibers that carry messages between nerve cells) cannot ...
Phys.org / This single well-known and widespread butterfly is actually three species in disguise
The tropical rainforests of Central and South America are among the most biodiverse places on Earth. Costa Rica alone is home to half a million species, five times more than exist in the entire country of Canada, despite ...
