Medical Xpress / Laser heat therapy plus immunotherapy may dramatically improve survival for those with deadly brain cancer
High-grade astrocytoma, which includes glioblastoma, is a fast-growing, aggressive brain cancer that often returns after the tumor is removed, making it difficult to treat. Patients with recurrent high-grade astrocytoma typically ...
Phys.org / Hidden architecture inside cellular droplets reveals new targets for cancer and neurodegeneration
Cells rely on biomolecular condensates to coordinate essential biological processes without surrounding membranes. These droplet-like dynamic assemblies control the way in which DNA is turned into proteins, help clear cellular ...
Tech Xplore / Novel cathode design tames distortions to improve lithium-ion batteries
A battery's positive end (cathode) and negative end (anode) are two vital components that largely define how well it can perform. In particular, researchers have focused on improving the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of ...
Medical Xpress / How physical activity may help cancer survivors live longer
Staying fit and active has long been associated with better heart and overall health. It might also improve the chances of survival for people with some forms of cancer. A study published in the journal JAMA Network Open ...
Medical Xpress / A 'Google Earth' for the brain: What a 4D atlas reveals about growth
On the computer screens, the mouse brain is shown from several angles. Then you click, and a small area of the brain is highlighted in color. With the next click, something happens to the color markers. The marked areas change ...
Medical Xpress / Fifteen-year results from clinical trial suggest that follicular lymphoma is curable
Unlike some other forms of lymphoma, advanced stage follicular lymphoma is considered incurable. But a new analysis of long-term data on patients treated for the disease years ago with standard regimens of immunotherapy and ...
Phys.org / NASA revamps Artemis moon landing program by modeling it after speedy Apollo
NASA said Friday it's revamping its Artemis moon exploration program to make it more like the fast-paced Apollo program half a century ago, adding an extra practice flight before attempting a high-risk lunar landing with ...
Medical Xpress / Why breastfeeding's benefits may last years: Immune cells link lactation to long-lasting health
It's widely known that breastfeeding impacts the health of both mother and child, but the underlying biology that leads to these effects has been understudied. In a review article published in Trends in Immunology, researchers ...
Phys.org / Iron nanoparticle eliminates tuberculosis in mice and may pave the way for new treatments
An iron-based compound encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles completely eliminated tuberculosis in the lungs of mice after 30 days of treatment, according to a study by the Tuberculosis Research Laboratory at the Araraquara ...
Phys.org / Scientists identify ARK1 protein that stops malaria parasite growth
An international team of scientists has shed light on the development of the malaria parasite and has identified a unique protein essential for its survival and transmission, which offers a promising new target for antimalaria ...
Phys.org / A world first at the microscopic scale: Metamaterials that can shrink and expand on their own
Leiden physicists Daniela Kraft and Julio Melio have created soft structures that can take on different shapes without any external drive in their lab. They present their research on microscale metamaterials in Nature—a ...
Phys.org / Enzymes work as 'Maxwell's demon' by using memory stored as motion
Living cells are sustained by countless chemical reactions that must be carefully regulated to maintain internal order and function. Enzymes play a central role in this process, accelerating reactions that would otherwise ...
