Phys.org / New method reveals hidden stereochemical forms of oxidation in antibody drugs
Monoclonal antibodies are among the most widely used biologic medicines, with applications ranging from cancer treatment to autoimmune disease therapy. However, during manufacturing, storage, or transport, antibodies can ...
Phys.org / Lost page of the Archimedes Palimpsest identified in Blois, central France
A page long believed to have been lost from the Archimedes Palimpsest, one of the most important surviving manuscripts of antiquity, has been identified at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Blois, central France, by a CNRS researcher. ...
Medical Xpress / Study finds ALS drug hope via AI and veteran records
A Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL)-led team of scientists and computational engineers using one of the largest electronic health record datasets ever assembled for ALS has identified several existing medications ...
Tech Xplore / New 'renewable' benchmark streamlines LLM jailbreak safety tests with minimal human effort
As new large language models, or LLMs, are rapidly developed and deployed, existing methods for evaluating their safety and discovering potential vulnerabilities quickly become outdated. To identify safety issues before they ...
Medical Xpress / Safer blood clot treatment: Apixaban beats rivaroxaban in head-to-head comparison
The first clinical trial to compare two commonly used drugs head-to-head for venous thrombosis treatment has found a clear winner: while both drugs work well to prevent recurrent blood clots, apixaban is safer than rivaroxaban, ...
Phys.org / 3D imaging reveals messy-looking supraparticles can be nearly perfect crystals inside
Researchers at Utrecht University have quantitatively mapped the three-dimensional structure of photonic supraparticles for the first time. Supraparticles are microscopic spheres composed of thousands of smaller colloidal ...
Medical Xpress / Study of 3 million Swedes links women's suicide risk to female relatives' attempts
A woman's suicide risk may be influenced by the suicidal intention of her female first degree relatives, with sex-specific effects of a shared familial environment and possibly other social factors having a key role, finds ...
