Medical Xpress / There is more than one way for triple-negative breast cancer to become resistant to therapy
About 50% of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients develop resistance to therapy. When resistance arises, tumors are more likely to come back after the original treatment, significantly reducing the chances of survival. ...
Medical Xpress / What the constant sound of modern life is doing to our minds
For most of human existence, listening was closely tied to moments that carried meaning, emotion or survival. Nature supplied the backdrop—wind, water, animals—and music surfaced in hunting rituals, healing ceremonies ...
Medical Xpress / 'Off the shelf' immunotherapy could get a lift from gene-edited natural killer cells
Since scientists first discovered that human immune cells could be modified to become cancer-fighting agents, they've been trying to engineer a cell that's effective against solid tumors, which account for the vast majority ...
Phys.org / Pregnancy complications may have helped wipe out Neanderthals
Neanderthals disappeared from the fossil record approximately 40,000 years ago. Their extinction was a gradual process over thousands of years, and theories as to why include competition with modern humans and rapid climate ...
Phys.org / Enzymes work as 'Maxwell's demon' by using memory stored as motion
Living cells are sustained by countless chemical reactions that must be carefully regulated to maintain internal order and function. Enzymes play a central role in this process, accelerating reactions that would otherwise ...
Medical Xpress / Yawns in healthy fetuses might indicate mild distress
Even in the womb, where all oxygen is provided by the parental placenta, fetuses can—and do—yawn. More yawns during observation were associated with a lower weight at birth—potentially indicating mild fetal stress in ...
Medical Xpress / Antibody developed to protect immune system cells in vitro from a dangerous hospital-acquired bacterium
A monoclonal antibody created by the Nanobiotechnology for Diagnostics group (Nb4D) at the Institute of Advanced Chemistry of Catalonia (IQAC), part of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), has demonstrated in cell ...
Phys.org / Surprise solar eruptions on sun's far side validate new forecasting method
A team of scientists from around the world has created the first system that can predict when and where extremely powerful solar storms, called superflares, are most likely to happen. These storms can disrupt power grids, ...
Phys.org / Tomb more than 1,000 years old found in Panama
Archaeologists have discovered a tomb more than a thousand years old in Panama containing human remains alongside gold and ceramic artifacts, the lead researcher told AFP on Friday.
Phys.org / New lab technique can reverse chemical process linked with Alzheimer's disease
An Oregon State University scientist and a team of undergraduate students have uncovered real-time insights into a chemical process linked with Alzheimer's disease, paving the way toward better drug designs. The researchers ...
Medical Xpress / Gallbladder cancer could soon be detected in blood
Researchers at Tezpur University in Assam, India, working with scientists at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, have identified distinct chemical signatures in blood that could help detect gallbladder cancer earlier. ...
Medical Xpress / AI, monkey brains, and the virtue of small thinking illuminate how the brain processes sight
What does it take to make AI that can pass as human? Try massive clusters of supercomputers. To build human-like intelligence, computer scientists think big. However, for neuroscientists who want to understand how real brains ...
