Medical Xpress / Brain tumors hijack sugar metabolism to evade immune attack, study shows
Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered that specialized immune cells within the glioblastoma tumor metabolize fructose to suppress immune responses and promote tumor growth, reports a study published in the Proceedings ...
Phys.org / Why sugar breakdown matters beyond energy—new insights into how it makes cells move
It has long been known that our bodies derive energy from sugar. Researchers at RPTU University Kaiserslautern-Landau have now discovered that sugar breakdown produces an intermediate product that is also crucial for the ...
Phys.org / Potential Strait of Hormuz blockade could disrupt global supply chains, study finds
A prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most important oil shipping routes, could severely disrupt global supply chains and destabilize energy markets, potentially leading to far-reaching economic ...
Phys.org / Milk-derived nanoparticles may enable physicians to target aggressive bile duct cancer
Mayo Clinic researchers have developed a promising new way to deliver treatment directly to cholangiocarcinoma tumors, a rare and aggressive bile duct cancer with limited treatment options, using milk-derived nanoparticles ...
Medical Xpress / Heart disease risk tied to certain molecules made by gut microbes
In a study involving data from thousands of people, the risk of a new coronary heart disease diagnosis was statistically associated with bloodstream levels of nine specific molecules that are produced by gut microbes. Danxia ...
Phys.org / Students discover new crab egg predator
After a year and a half of remote work and learning, UC Santa Barbara undergraduate students Sophia Lecuona Manos, Gabrielle Plewe, Carson Gadler and doctoral student Zoe Zilz returned to campus in late 2021 eager for some ...
Phys.org / Q&A: Reevaluating reaction rates to better understand the stars
Thermonuclear reaction rates power the models that explain how stars live, explode and create the elements. A new study co-authored by NC State faculty member Richard Longland provides a comprehensive, statistically grounded ...
Phys.org / Oldest known whale recording could unlock mysteries of the ocean
A haunting whale song discovered on decades-old audio equipment could open up a new understanding of how the huge animals communicate, according to researchers who say it's the oldest such recording known.
Medical Xpress / Largest-ever Parkinson's study shows how symptoms differ between men and women
Parkinson's disease is the fastest growing neurological disorder, with more than 10 million cases worldwide. Up to 150,000 Australians currently live with the disease and 50 new cases are diagnosed each day.
Phys.org / What's in your lipstick and water? New test flags hidden mutagens
Substances capable of mutating human genetic material—altering and permanently damaging it—are present in many everyday products. Researchers at Justus Liebig University Giessen (JLU) have, for the first time, detected ...
Medical Xpress / Hidden drug reservoirs in cancer cells could explain treatment resistance
One of oncology's biggest challenges is that the same treatment can work well for some patients but fail completely in others. A study published in Nature Communications, by a multidisciplinary team led by Dr. Louise Fets ...
Phys.org / Could reduced air pollution from climate mitigation boost crop yields and lower hunger risk?
An international research team used multiple global agroeconomic models and found that climate mitigation consistent with the 1.5 °C target could raise global hunger risk in 2050 by 17% (56 million people) compared with ...
