Medical Xpress / Antibody therapy eradicates traces of multiple myeloma in preliminary trial
Treatment with an immune and cancer cell-targeting antibody therapy eradicates residual traces of the blood cell cancer multiple myeloma, according to interim results from a clinical trial conducted by researchers at Sylvester ...
Phys.org / How cells change their minds and save their work in progress
All cells need to sense and respond to their environment, to know when to activate genes, build proteins, and carry out their basic functions. One of the most well-studied cellular responses is how they react during times ...
Phys.org / Sargasso Sea shift reveals dramatic decline in some historic seaweed populations
A study led by researchers at the University of South Florida's College of Marine Science has found that certain populations of the seaweed sargassum have experienced a significant decline over the past decade, even as increased ...
Phys.org / Chlorine and potassium found in supernova remnant at unexpectedly high levels
"Why are we here?" is humanity's most fundamental and persistent question. Tracing the origins of the elements is a direct attempt to answer this at its deepest level. We know many elements are created inside stars and supernovae, ...
Phys.org / Geodesic approach links quantum physics and gravitation
It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is described extremely well by quantum theory, while the world of gravitation is captured by Einstein's ...
Medical Xpress / Machine learning reveals how disordered protein regions contribute to cancer-causing condensates
Fusion oncoproteins arise when a gene fuses with another gene and acquires new abilities. Such abilities can include the formation of biomolecular condensates, "droplets" of concentrated proteins, DNA or RNA.
Phys.org / The bacteria that won't wake up: NASA discovers new bacteria 'playing dead'
New research conducted on a NASA-discovered bacterium shows the microbe is capable of entering an extreme dormant state, essentially "playing dead" to survive in some of the cleanest environments on Earth.
Phys.org / Golden Eagles in the West appear stable, but Nevada tells a different story
Golden Eagles (Aquila chrysaetos) have been protected in North America since 1962 and their populations in the West are considered stable. However, a new study published in the Journal of Raptor Research found that the Nevada ...
Tech Xplore / 'OCTOID,' a soft robot that changes color and moves like an octopus
Underwater octopuses change their body color and texture in the blink of an eye to blend perfectly into their surroundings when evading predators or capturing prey. They transform their bodies to match the colors of nearby ...
Phys.org / Scientists rule out fourth neutrino in particle physics mystery
Scientists have taken a major step toward solving a long-standing mystery in particle physics, by finding no sign of the particle many hoped would explain it.
Phys.org / For the first time, researchers observe how influenza viruses infect living cells
The flu illness is triggered by influenza viruses, which enter the body through droplets and then infect cells. Researchers from Switzerland and Japan have now investigated the flu virus in minute detail.
Tech Xplore / A smarter way for large language models to think about hard problems
To make large language models (LLMs) more accurate when answering harder questions, researchers can let the model spend more time thinking about potential solutions.
