Medical Xpress / Giving antibodies 'eyes' may help target hidden KRAS mutations in cancer cells
Antibodies are like "guided missiles" that find and attack cancer cells, but cancer-causing mutations inside cells have remained a "blind spot" for treatment because antibodies cannot reach them. KAIST researchers have now ...
Medical Xpress / New mechanoresistant cancer cells show how they survive high stress environments
When a cancer cell leaves the original tumor to spread to a new, faraway location, it first has to survive what most cells cannot: periodic high-force moments in the vessels and heart of up to 5,000 dynes per centimeter squared ...
Phys.org / Hydrogel electrode improves stability of insect-based odor sensors for drones
Drones are increasingly being used for disaster response, infrastructure inspection and environmental monitoring. However, most drone systems rely primarily on cameras and other visual sensors, which can become ineffective ...
Medical Xpress / FDA advisers dismiss safety warnings, back four peptide treatments
A panel of outside advisers to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) voted Thursday to let specialized pharmacies produce and sell four peptide treatments the agency banned three years ago.
Tech Xplore / Get ready for mobile 'stores on wheels.' Research shows they can outperform traditional retail stores
As retailers increasingly embrace artificial intelligence (AI), robotics and autonomous vehicles, a new retail model is beginning to emerge: mobile stores that drive directly to customers instead of waiting for customers ...
Phys.org / Io's volcanic output offers a 40‑day forecast of plasma density in Jupiter's magnetosphere
A careful statistical comparison of observations recorded by NASA's Juno mission and the Planetary Science Institute's Io Input Output observatory (IoIO) shows that IoIO observations reliably predict the density of Jupiter's ...
Science X / Beneath pale ash, a quantum microscope reveals hidden traces of Neanderthal fire use preserved for millennia
An ancient hearth at El Salt (Spain) is giving up its secrets—not with flames, but with physics. Scientists have already established that Neanderthals used to make fires at this site (spanning from 80,000–45,000 years ago), ...
Medical Xpress / Inherited gene variants may shape CAR-T therapy benefits and toxic side effects
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy, which reprograms an individual's immune cells to seek out and destroy certain cancer cells, has revolutionized treatment for blood cancers such as lymphoma. But in some patients, ...
Phys.org / Malaria parasite selectively consumes linoleic acid fats, revealing drug target potential
Researchers at NYU Abu Dhabi have discovered that the malaria parasite relies on a specific type of fat to survive and multiply within the human host, uncovering a previously unknown vulnerability that could help guide future ...
Phys.org / Physicists turn to the universe's 'piano notes' to detect hidden particles
It's been said that a finely tuned ear knows the size and shape of a piano by merely listening to the instrument's notes. An international team of physicists has now devised an analogous approach to detect the universe's ...
Phys.org / Fossilized wood reveals 300 million years of Earth's history
Many people are familiar with fossilized wood as a decorative item from a museum shop. However, the fact that it can preserve the geological history of entire regions spanning millions of years is a new discovery. A research ...
Phys.org / Review finds lack of evidence as to whether planting around our homes reduces the pollution we breathe
A new review led by the University of East London (UEL) has uncovered a major blind spot in air pollution research. Despite domestic gardens covering vast areas of Britain's towns and cities, researchers found no direct evidence ...
