Medical Xpress / AI-aided 'master key' vaccine may block entire virus families, not single strains
Known by acronyms that need no explanation, viruses like COVID, SARS and Ebola conjure images of medics in protective suits and spark fear in populations worldwide.
Phys.org / Self-propelled actin filaments may explain how cells change shape spontaneously
Cells can spontaneously change shape even without external signals, but the underlying mechanisms behind this form of self-organization have remained unclear. Now, researchers from Japan have discovered self-propelled treadmilling ...
Medical Xpress / CAR T cell therapy leads to 10-year remissions in B-cell lymphoma patients
After a median follow-up of 10 years, more than one-third of patients with large B-cell lymphoma and nearly half of patients with follicular lymphoma who received a single infusion of tisagenlecleucel—the CAR T-cell therapy ...
Phys.org / Mathematicians unleash multifold speed boost for supercomputer simulations of molecules
More than 20% of the workload on the world's 500 fastest supercomputers is spent simulating how atoms and molecules move—with applications ranging from material design to identifying drug interactions to understanding protein ...
Phys.org / Economic and environmental benefits of regenerative agriculture vary widely across farms and regions
Regenerative agriculture can deliver both economic and environmental benefits for European farmers, Wageningen University & Research (WUR) concludes in the research project Regenomics. Whether these benefits are actually ...
Phys.org / Shorter front-leg strides can be an early warning sign of dementia in senior dogs
Scientists have shown that the stride length of the front legs (but not the hind legs) of senior and geriatric dogs decreases as their cognitive performance worsens. In contrast, chronological age itself was a poor predictor ...
Medical Xpress / How 'peacemakers' of the immune system could unlock long-term disease remission
"Peacemaker" immune cells could help treat diseases ranging from type 1 diabetes to neurodegeneration by restoring immune tolerance, according to a new paper in Frontiers in Science.
Phys.org / Euclid captures 60 million stars in sharpest broad view of Milky Way's core
For just one day, our dark universe detective, Euclid, turned its gaze toward the light: the extremely bright inner region of our Milky Way galaxy, known as the galactic bulge. This special request came from astronomers who ...
Medical Xpress / Unfolding stomach capsule could target ulcer-causing bacteria for 48 hours
Between 50% and 100% of people in countries with poor access to clean water are infected with a bacterium called Helicobacter pylori. This bacterium is a leading cause of stomach ulcers, and it can even cause gastric cancer.
Phys.org / Marmoset monkeys adapt their voices to sound more like their social partners, study finds
Many animal species that live in groups are known to adjust their behavior to strengthen their social bonds or increase their coordination with others around them. For instance, humans and some other animals exhibit vocal ...
Medical Xpress / Geometric neural 'map' may help bilingual brains navigate between languages
Anyone who speaks more than one language knows the feeling of expressing the same thought through entirely different linguistic lenses. A new study by researchers at Rice University and Baylor College of Medicine reveals ...
Phys.org / Human DNA can survive on cave walls for thousands of years, opening new window into prehistory
For the first time, scientists have shown that ancient human DNA can survive for thousands of years on cave walls, opening new ways to study prehistoric human activity. This interdisciplinary study was conducted within the ...
