Medical Xpress / Immunity for the long haul: Why some antibodies are built to last
When an infection strikes, the immune system produces antibodies to help fight it off. Some antibody responses can protect us for years, while others fade much sooner. Using a mouse model, a team of researchers led by The ...
Medical Xpress / COVID-19 pandemic accelerated adoption of shorter, lower-burden (lower cost) breast radiation therapy
The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of shorter-course radiation therapy for women with early-stage breast cancer, leading to reduced treatment burden and lower health care spending, according to a new study published ...
Phys.org / As oceans warm, Florida scientists hunt for heat-resistant coral
Off Florida's coast, a team of scientists and trained volunteers in scuba gear descends to the ocean floor, planting young coral onto a reef and examining how others are faring in increasingly warm waters.
Phys.org / Fast-growing money market funds linked to 'exuberant' equity markets and systemic risk
Money market funds (MMFs) that grow rapidly when equity markets are soaring pose a systemic risk to global financial systems, new academic research reveals.
Medical Xpress / Researchers reflect on longterm health impacts of 9/11
The 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks is a reminder that the horrific events of that day continue to be felt a quarter-century later. While 2,753 people perished in the initial attacks on the World Trade Center, hundreds ...
Medical Xpress / Vaping additives weaken key lung film at higher concentrations, lab tests suggest
A new study from the University of Kansas shows that additives common in commercially available vaping devices, such as vitamin E and CBD, soften a vital lung surfactant at high enough concentrations, at least in a simplified ...
Phys.org / Q&A: The origin of 'OnlyMarms' and what made it a roaring success
The story of Dan Blumstein's decision to share videos of marmots from the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory field study on an OnlyFans account called OnlyMarms has captured attention around the world over the past few ...
