Phys.org / Marine microbes point to ancient seawater source beneath Antarctica's Blood Falls
Salty water flowing through Antarctica's Blood Falls contains a distinct community of marine-specific microorganisms, providing evidence that the brine system beneath the glacier has a marine origin, according to a paper ...
Medical Xpress / Growth hormone therapy helps childhood stem cell transplant survivors grow taller, but responses vary widely
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) is a treatment for some life-threatening cancers and nonmalignant disorders. As HCT is a curative treatment, it is used to treat children where necessary. It has historically ...
Phys.org / Tangled seaweed inspires one-size-fits-all cleaners for ocean microplastics
Inspired by naturally occurring mats and balls of seaweed, researchers have created highly porous, superadhesive meshes capable of capturing both large and small microplastic particles—a longstanding challenge in the field. ...
Medical Xpress / Study identifies care steps that start head and neck cancer patients on lifesaving treatment sooner
For patients with advanced head and neck cancer, surgery is often the first step in treatment. Many also need radiation therapy to destroy remaining cancer cells and reduce the risk that their cancer will return. Starting ...
Medical Xpress / Study identifies promising therapy to prevent relapses in rare neurological disease
An international study led by Mayo Clinic researchers has identified interleukin-6 (IL-6) receptor blockers as a promising option for preventing relapses in myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease ...
Tech Xplore / Neutron imaging peers inside iron redox flow batteries
A renewable energy future will rely on cheap and scalable battery technologies. A promising option is an all-iron redox flow battery, which uses iron—an abundant, low-cost, and safe material. Battery performance depends on ...
Phys.org / Total eclipse gives scientists chance to probe sun's mysteries
Scientists plan to use a total solar eclipse that will be visible in Spain next week as a rare chance to learn more about the stormy, unpredictable nature of our star.
