Phys.org / ALMA reveals giant molecular clouds across Needle galaxy's full disk
An international team of astronomers has employed the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) to perform high-resolution observations of the Needle galaxy. Results of the new observational campaign, presented ...
Medical Xpress / Turning immune cells into tumor allies: A cancer cell protein can reprogram frontline defenders
Cancer cells can disarm the immune system not just by hiding from it, but by actively reprogramming nearby immune cells into a suppressed state. This previously unrecognized molecular interaction, discovered by scientists ...
Tech Xplore / Amazon to ship stuff for any business, not just its own merchants
Amazon announced Monday it is opening up its massive shipping and delivery network to any business that wants to use it—not just the merchants who sell on Amazon's website.
Phys.org / Tokamak regime sustains stable fusion plasma for one minute while easing heat loads
For the first time, a research team has demonstrated, in a metal-wall environment, a plasma regime that simultaneously achieves partial divertor detachment, an edge-localized-mode (ELM)-free high-confinement mode (H-mode), ...
Medical Xpress / Glioblastoma mapping uncovers four recurring tumor cell communities, revealing treatment targets
Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive type of brain cancer that is known to be very difficult to treat. One reason why this type of cancer is often resistant to available treatments is that it is characterized by a highly diverse ...
Phys.org / Cities are getting hotter—and bigger. New research reveals the scale of the challenge
We tend to think of climate change impacts as dramatic and destructive. Storms and floods that bring down landslides and swamp streets, or raging wildfires that tear through forests and farmland.
Phys.org / The way a cell fails to divide after copying its DNA can determine its fate
Cell division is one of the most fundamental and complex processes underpinning life. In human cells, thousands of molecules coordinate with one another in highly precise steps, all within a fraction of a second. But things ...
Phys.org / How photosynthetic bacteria pass light along: Two major energy pathways identified
RIKEN researchers have found out how light energy harvested by pigments besides chlorophyll is transferred to the molecular site where photosynthesis occurs in cyanobacteria. The work is published in the journal Plant and ...
Medical Xpress / Liquid biopsy predicts response to breast cancer immunotherapy
Immunotherapy has become a standard of care in treating high-risk, early-stage breast cancers, yet it has had limited success in shrinking tumors. New biomarkers that can improve outcomes for patients are urgently needed. ...
Medical Xpress / FDA approves once-daily Idvynso tablet for treating HIV
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved Merck's Idvynso (doravirine/islatravir), a new, once-daily, two-drug single tablet for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adults to replace the current antiretroviral regimen ...
Phys.org / Mechanochemistry simplifies synthesis of challenging conductive organic molecules
Mechanochemistry is a growing field for chemical reactions that proceed in the solid state in the absence, or with minuscule amounts, of solvent added. For decades, solvents have been considered conventional for the progression ...
Medical Xpress / Nurses harness AI to help quantify their instincts about patient care
Hospital nurses are often so busy that they have trouble finding time for a bathroom break. Over an eight- to 12-hour shift, they're keeping tabs on multiple patients: checking their vital signs, administering medication, ...
