Tech Xplore / A blueprint for keeping humans in control of AI
William Overman began his Ph.D. program at Stanford Graduate School of Business at an auspicious moment: just two months before ChatGPT launched publicly in November 2022, exploding the widely held understanding of what machines ...
Medical Xpress / Pancreatic tumors use clotting pathway to build immune shields, study finds
Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have found that small populations of pancreatic cancer cells can create localized immune-protective niches that shield tumors from immune attack. The finding could ...
Phys.org / Mosquito 'toilet' detects West Nile and first Hedwig-like virus found in the Americas
When public health researchers want to know whether diseases such as COVID-19 or polio are circulating in a community, they can look for genetic evidence in wastewater.
Phys.org / Frontline trauma: Alarming PTSD rates in WA police revealed
More than one-third of Western Australia's police officers report symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), new research led by Edith Cowan University (ECU) and published in the journal Australian Psychologist has ...
Medical Xpress / Modified BCG vaccine strengthens protection against TB
Researchers from the Centenary Institute and the University of Sydney have developed a modified version of the tuberculosis (TB) vaccine BCG that provided stronger and more sustained protection against TB. In preclinical ...
Medical Xpress / Protein restriction may trigger body-wide program linked to longer life
A new perspective from LSU's Pennington Biomedical Research Center proposes a new way of understanding how dietary protein restriction may promote healthy aging and extend lifespan: through a coordinated physiological response ...
Phys.org / Just add fish: Scientists pursue more rice, less disease in Senegal paddies
Half smiling through crinkled eyes, Moussa Ndiaye, in his long tunic and skullcap, watched a combine harvest his northern Senegal rice paddy, where he expects a good haul—not just of grain.
Medical Xpress / AI virtual cell uses protein dynamics to predict personalized breast cancer treatments
Not all cancer cells are the same, and neither are their responses to drugs. Finding the right drug for the right cancer cell is a long battle in drug development and in designing effective treatments. A new AI tool called ...
Medical Xpress / Smartphone-controlled microneedle patch could offer drug-free pain care from afar
A "wearable electroceutical" has been developed that could reduce the need to visit a hospital or rely on painkillers every time pain occurs. When attached to the skin, it modulates pain through electrical stimulation and ...
