Medical Xpress / Gut bacteria molecule boosts lung cancer treatment response
UF Health Cancer Institute researchers have discovered a small compound produced naturally by gut bacteria that doubled the response to lung cancer immunotherapy treatment in mice and can now be made into a drug for testing ...
Medical Xpress / Customizable stainless steel neural probes enable safer, less expensive brain sensing
The human brain is complex. Understanding deep brain function usually requires the insertion of probes that frequently result in irreversible tissue damage. Current neural probes are made out of silicon, a brittle material ...
Medical Xpress / Physical activity linked to breast tissue composition and stress markers in teens
Recreational physical activity may be associated with breast tissue composition and biomarkers of stress in adolescent girls, according to a new study from Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health and the Herbert ...
Tech Xplore / AI and high-throughput testing reveal stability limits in organic redox flow batteries
In numerous scientific fields, high-throughput experimentation methods combined with artificial intelligence (AI) show great promise to accelerate innovation and scientific discovery.
Medical Xpress / Specialized clinic visits reverse population weight gain in statewide pilot test
For years, endocrinologist Leigh Perreault, MD, felt there had to be a better way to help patients with weight management than sending them home with advice to change their diet and increase their exercise.
Tech Xplore / Ontario's proposed nuclear waste repository poses millennia-long ethical questions
The heat produced by the radioactive waste strikes you when you enter the storage site of Ontario Power Generation at the Bruce Nuclear Generating Station, near the shore of Lake Huron in Ontario.
Phys.org / Hygienic conditions in Pompeii's early baths were poor, according to isotope analysis
The city of Pompeii was buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) have now reconstructed the city's water supply system based on carbonate deposits—particularly ...
Phys.org / First-time use of AI for genetic circuit design demonstrated in a human cell line
There are hundreds of cell types in the human body, each with a specific role spelled out in their DNA. In theory, all it takes for cells to behave in desired ways—for example, getting them to produce a therapeutic molecule ...
Phys.org / Do even low-mass dwarf galaxies merge? New clues from the outer stars of a Milky Way satellite
Using the Subaru Telescope's wide-field camera, astronomers have discovered a previously unknown structure surrounding a tiny satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. The newly discovered structure exhibits features resembling ...
Phys.org / Two new exoplanets and the need for new habitable zone definitions
At the beginning of the exoplanet age, the goals were fairly simple. The first was to find as many of them as possible to flesh out our understanding of the exoplanet population. The second was to determine if any were in ...
Medical Xpress / Bacterial toxin can counteract colorectal cancer growth
A toxin secreted by cholera bacteria can inhibit the growth of colorectal cancer without causing any measurable damage to the body. This is shown by a new study by researchers at Umeå University, Sweden. Systemic administration ...
Medical Xpress / Treating addiction with immunotherapy: Study links alcohol use and the immune system
A 2024 U.S. national survey reported that 11.8% of males and 7.6% of females ages 12 and older met the criteria for Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) in 2023, meaning they could not stop or control alcohol use despite serious health ...
