Medical Xpress / New T‑cell therapy targets three tumor proteins, shows early survival gains in aggressive pediatric brain cancers

Researchers report encouraging early results from a first-in-human clinical trial led by Children's National Hospital using a new T-cell immunotherapy for children and young adults with some of the deadliest brain tumors, ...

Phys.org / Quantum properties of multimode light observed despite extreme losses

Quantum properties of light are extremely delicate. When researchers attempt to measure them, even small losses on the way to a detector can make them invisible, limiting their use outside carefully controlled environments. ...

Medical Xpress / 'Polypill' for heart failure cuts hospitalizations and ER visits by 60% in trial

A "polypill" combining three medications recommended to treat heart failure into a single daily dose proved far more effective for patients than taking the drugs separately, a randomized clinical trial led by UT Southwestern ...

Phys.org / Purine-heavy DNA sequences protect Bacillus subtilis genes from Rho termination

In the study of bacteria, a longstanding dogma has held that two molecular machines—RNA polymerase, which leads the way in transcribing DNA into RNA, and ribosomes, which bring up the rear translating RNA into proteins—worked ...

Phys.org / Rice grown on the moon? Air-to-fertilizer technology helps rice grow in lunar soil simulant

Securing sustainable food supplies is a key challenge for long-term human exploration and potential habitation of the moon. The moon's soil contains no organic material, and essential plant nitrogen sources like ammonia and ...

Phys.org / Webb reveals merger scars in galaxies that stopped forming stars 9 billion years ago

Research has shed new light on why some distant galaxies suddenly stop forming stars. An international team led by astronomers at the University of Nottingham has used the James Webb Space Telescope to study a large sample ...

Phys.org / Brown leaves before fall could signal lasting heat damage, researchers warn

Due to increasing heat and drought, forests are turning brown more often before autumn, when leaf senescence normally occurs. It is often unclear whether the trees are actively shedding foliage to avoid a breakdown in water ...

Phys.org / Diffractive networks enable optical information transfer through random and unknown diffusers

The transmission of optical information through random scattering media is a major challenge in optics, biomedical imaging, telecommunications and remote sensing. When light passes through a turbid or diffusive medium, such ...

Phys.org / Red-tailed hawks maintain flight performance despite missing feathers

Red-tailed hawks can compensate for feather loss during molt by subtly changing their wing and tail movements, according to a new study by University of California, Davis, researchers in the College of Engineering and the ...

Phys.org / Instant digital rewards may make hard thinking feel less worthwhile

Imagine opening a difficult book in a quiet room. The first page is dense. You read one paragraph, then reread it. Nothing "clicks" yet. Your brain is doing what learning often requires: spending effort before the reward ...

Phys.org / Cosmic dust could play key role in cracking long-standing mystery of solar corona heating

A researcher at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a part of The University of Alabama System, has published a new study in The Astrophysical Journal suggesting that tiny charged dust grains near the sun may significantly ...

Phys.org / Extreme droughts in the rainforest reduce important feedback between soil and atmosphere, study finds

Isoprene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that is produced naturally by plants. More than 500 megatonnes of isoprene are emitted each year into Earth's atmosphere, primarily from tropical forests. Soils are recognized ...
