Medical Xpress / Nanovaccine shows great promise for treating HPV-related cancers
A nanoparticle vaccine designed to fight cancers induced by human papillomavirus (HPV) eradicated tumors in an animal model of late-stage metastatic disease, UT Southwestern Medical Center scientists report in a new study ...
Medical Xpress / 'Mind-captioning' technique can read human thoughts from brain scans
Reading brain activity with advanced technologies is not a new concept. However, most techniques have focused on identifying single words associated with an object or action a person is seeing or thinking of, or matching ...
Medical Xpress / High-speed imaging tracks live brain cell activity in awake mice
A research team from the School of Engineering at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has achieved a breakthrough in brain imaging by developing the world's first technology to capture high-resolution ...
Phys.org / How plastics grip metals at the atomic scale: Molecular insights pave way for better transportation materials
What makes some plastics stick to metal without any glue? Osaka Metropolitan University scientists have peered into the invisible adhesive zone that forms between certain plastics and metals—one atom at a time—to uncover ...
Medical Xpress / Tracking RNA levels reveals new clues in triple-negative breast cancer progression
When researchers look for potential cancer therapy targets, they typically go after protein-coding genes that participate in disease progression. Disrupt them and negate whatever role they play in cancer's development or ...
Medical Xpress / Popular weight-loss drugs show added heart protection for diabetes patients
Injectable weight-loss drugs can reduce the risk of serious cardiovascular events for people with type 2 diabetes. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and Harvard Medical School have demonstrated this ...
Phys.org / Precision genetic engineering points to a future of sustainable agriculture
As Earth's climate warms and changes, sustainable agricultural practices are critical for feeding a rapidly growing population. Can we genetically engineer crops to adapt to drought and other effects of a warming climate?
Medical Xpress / Urolithin A nudges aging immune cells toward a youthful profile in 28 days
An international research team focused on aging reports that urolithin A at 1,000 mg per day shifted human immune profiles toward a more naive-like, less exhausted CD8+ state and increased fatty acid oxidation capacity, with ...
Medical Xpress / Experimental in-jail program reduces suicide attempts after release by 55%, study finds
A clinical trial to evaluate an intervention to prevent suicides among people recently released from jail reduced suicide attempts by 55%. That's according to a new study in JAMA Network Open led by researchers from Brown ...
Phys.org / AI controls satellite attitude in orbit for first time
As a true milestone on the path to autonomous space systems, a research team at Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (JMU) has successfully tested an AI-based attitude controller for satellites directly in orbit—a ...
Phys.org / West Coast mammal-eating killer whales are two distinct communities that rarely mix, finds study
New research has confirmed that West Coast transient killer whales who live between British Columbia and California are two distinct subpopulations: inner and outer coast transients.
Medical Xpress / Congenital heart disease mutation linked to kidney damage
Biomedical engineers at Duke University have shown that a genetic mutation that causes congenital heart disease also contributes to kidney damage and developmental defects. Identifying this early cause of kidney damage could ...
