Medical Xpress / Transcription factors form continuous 'circuit' that regulates T-cell exhaustion
Scientists have discovered how two transcription factors form a reciprocal regulatory circuit that controls T-cell exhaustion and migration during viral infection, which may inform future therapeutic strategies for managing ...
Phys.org / How microbes survive in the plastisphere
Plastic pollution is a global problem. It damages ecosystems, endangers animals, and in the form of nanoplastic particles, can also have consequences for human health. A global agreement to regulate plastic pollution is therefore ...
Phys.org / 15 years after the eradication of rinderpest, lessons still ring true
Permanently wiping out a disease is tricky business. Polio, measles, mumps—all have effective vaccines, yet they persist in certain pockets around the world. To date, the World Health Organization considers just two viruses ...
Phys.org / Online PFAS information from public sources can fall short and leave public without enough guidance, study reveals
Exposure to "forever chemicals," per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), has been linked to serious health issues, like immune system damage, cancers, pregnancy complications and liver damage. A new study, published in ...
Tech Xplore / New method makes neural networks three times faster in wave propagation problems
Researchers at Skoltech have proposed a new approach to training neural networks for wave propagation in absorbing media. The method significantly improves the accuracy and stability of solutions and accelerates model training ...
Medical Xpress / Treating previously untreatable cancers: How CAR‑T cell therapy could be made accessible to more patients
Cancers that were once considered incurable now have new treatment options. Among these innovations are CAR-T (chimeric antigen receptor T cell) therapies that modify a patient's T cells, which play an important role in immune ...
Medical Xpress / A woman's 'push‑up hack' is trending on social media. An anatomist explains why it works
Push-ups can be a challenge for the best of us. But many women struggle to do them, even after months of training in the gym.
Phys.org / New leading cause of tree death in US northeast shifts from logging to natural causes
Why do trees fall in the forest? The Answer is Changing. New research suggests that in just 15 years, the causes of most tree loss have flipped from human hands to a handful of natural causes.
Phys.org / Why AI shouldn't be used even to decide 'simple' court cases
In just a few years, generative artificial intelligence (gen AI) has brought about significant changes in many industries, from health care to education, entertainment to finance, and even law.
Phys.org / Microscopic mechanism of 'quantum collapse' in real-world environments uncovered for the first time
A research team has, for the first time in the world, elucidated the microscopic mechanism by which quantum order is lost and collapses in "open quantum environments" existing in nature. Since perfectly isolated quantum systems ...
Phys.org / Artemis astronauts survey lunar surface on flyby, solar eclipse up next
The four astronauts carrying out NASA's first lunar flyby in more than half-a-century were sending back detailed observations of the moon after traveling farther from Earth than any human before.
Phys.org / Hacks, doxxing and deepfakes: Are we overexposed as a society?
