Medical Xpress / The 'zombie cell' effect: New study explains chemotherapy resistance in lung and ovarian cancers
Researchers have identified a biological mechanism that helps explain why some lung and ovarian cancers become resistant to chemotherapy, offering insight into why cancers recur. The study, published in Nature Aging this ...
Phys.org / X-ray platform images plasma instability for fusion energy and astrophysics
Harnessing the power of the sun holds the promise of providing future societies with energy abundance. To make this a reality, fusion researchers need to address many technological challenges. For example, fusion reactions ...
Tech Xplore / Rule-breaking discovery reveals new way to strengthen metal in extreme conditions
There's a reason why blacksmiths fire metals before hammering them. Heat always softens metal, making it more malleable and easier to reshape. Or does it? In a surprising new study, Northwestern University engineers discovered ...
Medical Xpress / How lung tumors use the brain to avoid immune attacks
University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine and Yale University School of Medicine, along with other collaborators, report that lung adenocarcinoma can engage nerve pathways that link the lung to the brainstem ...
Phys.org / AI captures particle accelerator behavior to optimize machine performance
Keeping high-power particle accelerators at peak performance requires advanced and precise control systems. For example, the primary research machine at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator ...
Phys.org / Biofilm made from fish skin could be a sustainable alternative for food packaging
Using the skin of an Amazonian fish known as tambatinga as the raw material, researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) and EMBRAPA Pecuária Sudeste—a decentralized unit of the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation ...
Phys.org / A 'ring of fire' solar eclipse will dazzle people and penguins in Antarctica
The first solar eclipse of the year will grace Antarctica, and only a lucky few will get to bask—or waddle—in its glow.
Phys.org / Stressed couples may benefit most from 'joint savoring,' new research suggests
Couples who spend more time savoring the pleasurable moments they share are happier together, argue less, and are more confident their relationship will last, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign researchers say in a new ...
Phys.org / Ancestral motif enables broad DNA binding by NIN, a master regulator of rhizobial symbiosis
Researchers at University of Tsukuba have uncovered a master transcriptional regulator that controls rhizobial symbiosis between plants and nitrogen-fixing bacteria. By identifying an amino acid motif that emerged before ...
Phys.org / Scientists decipher how two bacterial species cooperate to avoid being eaten
Back in 2021, Pierre Stallforth and his team at the Leibniz-Institute for Natural Product Research and Infection Biology (Leibniz-HKI) showed that bacteria of the genera Pseudomonas and Paenibacillus join forces to protect ...
