Medical Xpress / How highly aggressive colon cancer evades the immune system
Researchers from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) and the HI-STEM Stem Cell Institute have identified a previously unknown mechanism by which a particularly aggressive form of colon cancer evades the immune system.
Medical Xpress / How 'undead' cells trigger cancer-promoting inflammation
Stopping tumor growth is only half the battle. Rather than killing tumor cells, many cancer therapies can only push them into cellular senescence, a state in which cells stop dividing but do not die. These "undead" cells ...
Medical Xpress / Not every mother feels ready to care for her newborn immediately after giving birth
The first days after childbirth are a time of profound change—not only physically but emotionally as well. Although the rooming-in model, in which mothers and newborns stay together around the clock, is standard practice ...
Phys.org / A new role for nitrate reductase in regulating nitrogen-responsive nodulation
Certain plants, including legumes, form specialized organs called root nodules, where they establish symbiotic relationships with nitrogen-fixing bacteria. This root nodule symbiosis enables plants to use atmospheric nitrogen ...
Medical Xpress / Intermittent fasting may help type 1 diabetics control their blood sugar levels
A UIC study led by kinesiology and nutrition professor Krista Varady found that time-restricted eating may be a safe, effective tool to control blood sugar in adults with type 1 diabetes. The work is published in the journal ...
Phys.org / Belgium's fire of the century now 'under control'
Belgium's largest wildfire in a century was brought "under control" Thursday after a seven-day fight involving hundreds of firefighters in the boggy terrain of the High Fens nature reserve.
Tech Xplore / How can EU battery regulations help improve global sustainability governance in other sectors?
In a new paper, researchers explain how EU battery regulations can help lay the groundwork for a widely shared evidentiary system for global sustainability governance.
Phys.org / Hypersonic impact rapidly transforms diamond into graphite, revealing energy-absorbing mechanism
Rice University researchers have developed a way to stabilize diamond during high-temperature and low-pressure processing, creating a strong bulk composite and discovering that high-speed collisions can rapidly transform ...
Phys.org / Stone tools suggest Neanderthals once inhabited Arabian deserts
Neanderthals are largely associated with colder climates across Eurasia. But researchers know that both Homo sapiens and Neanderthals moved through nearby Southwest Asia between about 100,000 and 50,000 years ago, and Arabia ...
Phys.org / From the lab to headlines: Why do some studies make the news while others don't?
When we read a news story about a new cancer treatment, an Alzheimer's breakthrough or an innovative technology, we rarely think about everything that happens behind the scenes before that information reaches newspapers, ...
Tech Xplore / Electronic skin improves temperature and pressure sensing for personalized prosthetics
An electronic skin with a sensing system that can detect pressure and temperature could someday help amputees gain feeling in their prosthetics. The work, led by Washington State University researchers and published in the ...
Phys.org / Why social media algorithms send you posts you don't like
Do your social media accounts feed you content that reflects your core beliefs and guiding principles? Our new research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences shows that the algorithms supplying ...
