Medical Xpress / A new glioblastoma target: Blocking CD47 protein's tumor-driving role may slow growth
Australian researchers have uncovered a critical mechanism driving the growth and spread of glioblastoma—one of the most aggressive and lethal forms of brain cancer—potentially paving the way for more effective treatments. ...
Phys.org / Stealth superstorms reveal lightning on Jupiter: Beyond the superbolt
Jupiter's lightning has long been of interest to planetary scientists, as it marks stormy spots where researchers can look to learn more about convection in Jupiter's atmosphere. Observing lightning from a distance can be ...
Phys.org / Superconducting chip generates tunable terahertz waves for compact imaging
A tiny crystal chip which uses terahertz radiation to see clearly through a wide range of materials could find applications in health care, biological research, and security screening. Researchers from Scotland and Japan ...
Phys.org / Astronomers discover 87 stellar stream candidates in the Milky Way
Stellar streams are trails of stars that astronomers can study to solve mysteries about the history of our Milky Way galaxy and, potentially, the dark matter that helps shape the cosmos despite eluding direct observation. ...
Phys.org / Astrophysicists resolve 'negative superhump' conundrum of deep-space binary star systems
New UNLV-led research is helping to unravel clues to a cosmic mystery that has eluded scientists for decades. Cataclysmic variables (CVs) are binary star systems in which primary stars—incredibly dense and compact white ...
Medical Xpress / Study details neuropsychiatric symptoms and biological mechanisms of long COVID
Nearly three years since the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic was declared over, conservative estimates suggest that between 80 million and 400 million people worldwide have long COVID. This chronic condition associated with the infection ...
Medical Xpress / Existing medication can restore HIV-affected immune cells
HIV exhausts the body's immune system by overactivating it, despite effective antiviral treatment. Researchers from Linköping University in Sweden have conducted cell studies showing that an existing medication restores ...
Phys.org / Why cultivating drought-resistant plants disappoints: Soil physics may be the real bottleneck
Plants need water, light, and air to thrive. But when they transport water from the soil up to their leaves, they defy gravity. Scientists describe this astonishing phenomenon as "negative water potential," a form of negative ...
Medical Xpress / Spatial atlas reveals unique coordination among cell types that support healthy human skin
Mount Sinai researchers have published the first organ-wide human skin spatial atlas from across the body. It provides an unprecedentedly detailed view of healthy human skin, revealing cellular composition and functional ...
Phys.org / Shorebird science and conservation collective shows big data can protect birds
New research from the Shorebird Science and Conservation Collective at the Smithsonian's National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute (NZCBI), published in the journal Conservation Biology, provides a model for big data ...
Phys.org / Jamming bacterial communications, instead of killing the microbes, might provide long-lasting treatment
Every minute, nearly 500 antibiotic prescriptions are written in the U.S. Many of these drugs succeed, but more are being outmaneuvered by resistant bacteria. This can lead to tragic results, like the death of one Nevada ...
Phys.org / Self-cleaning fabric could eliminate the need for detergent
Detergents may begin their journey by cleaning our clothes, but they end up contaminating the environment, flowing into rivers, ponds, and oceans, where they severely disrupt aquatic animal life. Even after wastewater treatment, ...
