Medical Xpress / Yeast cells can be used for rapid testing of cancer immunotherapy
An international research team with strong participation from DTU has developed a new biotechnological platform that makes it possible to test and understand advanced cancer treatments much faster and cheaper than before. ...
Medical Xpress / Lab-grown heart tissue beats on its own as sensors track force in real time
Scientists at Université de Montréal and its affiliated Centre de recherche Azrieli du CHU Sainte-Justine have made a major advance in their research into cardiovascular disease: They've created functional, three-dimensional ...
Medical Xpress / Unexpected partial recovery of natural vision observed after intracortical microstimulation in a blind patient
A patient with complete blindness caused by irreversible optic nerve damage partially recovered natural vision after participating in a clinical trial of electrical stimulation of the visual cortex conducted by researchers ...
Medical Xpress / New tissue models could help researchers develop drugs for liver disease
More than 100 million people in the United States suffer from metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), characterized by a buildup of fat in the liver. This condition can lead to the development of ...
Phys.org / SpaceX grounds Falcon 9 missions, could impact ISS launch
NASA said Tuesday its next crew rotation to the International Space Station could be delayed after SpaceX announced it was grounding flights of its Falcon 9 rocket to investigate an unspecified issue.
Medical Xpress / A newly identified protein is key to regulating cholesterol release
Two UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have identified a protein that plays a key role in controlling the liver's release of cholesterol-carrying lipoproteins into the bloodstream, a discovery that could lead to new ...
Phys.org / Jupiter's slimmer profile: Giant planet revealed to be narrower at equator
For over 50 years, we thought we knew the size and shape of Jupiter, the solar system's largest planet. Now, Weizmann Institute of Science researchers have revised that knowledge using new data and technology. In a new study ...
Medical Xpress / How a tiny cellular signal helps shape the human heart
Australian researchers have uncovered a crucial new mechanism that helps explain how the heart's major blood vessels form during early development, and how disruptions to this process can lead to serious congenital heart ...
Phys.org / A UK climate security report backed by the intelligence services was quietly buried until now
Last autumn, a UK government report warned that climate-driven ecosystem collapse could lead to food shortages, mass migration, political extremism and even nuclear conflict. The report was never officially launched.
Medical Xpress / 'Personal lives' of lung cancer cells help predict response to treatment
University of Queensland researchers who mapped cancer cell "neighborhoods" in the most common type of lung cancer have found cell metabolism plays a critical role in determining how lung cancer patients will respond to immunotherapy. ...
Phys.org / Tropical weather cycles linked to faster Arctic ice loss in autumn
When it comes to global warming and climate change, we often hear news stories about tipping points where Earth's systems shift into a new and dangerous state. One such may have been reached in the year 2000 that caused tropical ...
Phys.org / Some tropical land may heat up nearly twice as much as oceans under climate change, sediment record suggests
Some tropical land regions may warm more dramatically than previously predicted, as climate change progresses, according to a new CU Boulder study that looks millions of years into Earth's past. Using lake sediments from ...
