Medical Xpress / New treatment approach improves survival, reduces recurrence risk in muscle-invasive bladder cancer
Researchers have found that a combination of enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab helps patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer live longer while reducing the risk that their cancer will return after surgery, according ...
Phys.org / Differences in human and great ape laughter reveal clues to the origin of speech
Humans are not the only animals that communicate. Birds sing to attract mates, dolphins use signature whistles that identify individuals, and many primates produce complex vocalizations that help them coordinate their social ...
Phys.org / UK in pole position to lead key instrument in NASA's hunt for Earth-like worlds
UK astronomers are a step closer to playing a leading role in NASA's search for alien life in the coming decades as they continue developing one of the core instruments of the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO). The exciting ...
Phys.org / A simple idea to bring clean drinking water to U.S. homes at a lower cost
Stanford engineer Khalid Osman and collaborators are building modeling tools to help water system managers find the most cost-effective option for improving their community's drinking water.
Medical Xpress / Artery-on-a-chip helps predict stroke risk
Predicting an individual's risk of ischemic stroke is difficult because thrombosis embolization—the process of a blood clot detaching from the area where it formed, traveling and then sticking in another blood vessel—is based ...
Medical Xpress / New immune mechanism helps explain why ovarian cancer stops responding to chemotherapy
Scientists at The Wistar Institute have identified a new mechanism behind the chemotherapy resistance that makes ovarian cancer so lethal. In a new study published in The Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer, the researchers ...
Medical Xpress / Inherited gene variants may shape CAR-T therapy benefits and toxic side effects
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy, which reprograms an individual's immune cells to seek out and destroy certain cancer cells, has revolutionized treatment for blood cancers such as lymphoma. But in some patients, ...
Medical Xpress / Watching live sports together boosts oxytocin and synchronizes heartbeats, study finds
Social connections are known to contribute greatly to people's psychological and emotional well-being. In fact, difficulties socializing and bonding with others have been linked to various psychiatric conditions, including ...
Phys.org / Water-surface vortices drive tiny rotors without electricity, magnets or chemicals
Reliably generating controlled miniature rotations has long been a challenge: Chemical propulsion systems wear out, and methods that use electric or magnetic fields require complex setups. A team from KIT's Institute of Microstructure ...
Medical Xpress / Increased social media use linked to anxiety, suicidal ideation among young adults
Teenagers who spent six or more hours a day on social media were twice as likely to experience symptoms of anxiety and three times as likely to report suicidal ideation than those who spent less than one hour on social media ...
Phys.org / Researchers develop AI-driven method to improve forecasts weeks in advance
Haonan Chen, a CSU associate professor of electrical and computer engineering, and his team have published research that could improve the accuracy of precipitation forecasts up to two weeks in advance.
Phys.org / Why you should think twice before rescuing a wild animal
Imagine you're driving down a winding road when you spot an injured possum. Your instincts might tell you to hit the brakes, check what's wrong and bundle it into your car. Research shows many of us want to help wild animals ...
