Medical Xpress / New, improved method to find and isolate the strongest cancer-fighting immune cells
A new platform developed by researchers at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center quickly finds and isolates rare, tumor-reactive immune cells that are especially good at recognizing and attacking cancer cells, ...
Phys.org / Unraveling a long-standing solar mystery: The extreme thinness of the sun's tachocline layer
Researchers are closer to unraveling a longstanding solar mystery surrounding the extreme thinness of the sun's tachocline layer of strong shearing motion—a region believed to be critical for creating the violent eruptions ...
Medical Xpress / Surgeons use teleoperated humanoid robots to perform live surgery—a world first
For the first time, two teleoperated humanoid robots have been used to complete two surgeries during a preclinical trial, researchers report in the July 8 issue of the journal Nature. The work is the result of a collaboration ...
Tech Xplore / AI memory bottleneck may ease as ultrathin chip stacks quadruple high-bandwidth memory density
A Korean research team has developed a technology that enables the stable stacking of more than 10 ultrathin semiconductor chips, each only one-fifth the thickness of a human hair. A research team successfully achieved an ...
Phys.org / Black hole collisions may follow entropy law, offering simpler remnant predictions
When two black holes orbit each other, they eventually spiral inward and collide in one of the most violent phenomena in the universe. The event is so energetic that it significantly distorts the universe around it. It emits ...
Phys.org / This rare British butterfly looks familiar, but its genome tells a very different story
The British swallowtail butterfly (Papilio machaon britannicus) is the U.K.'s only native swallowtail and its largest native butterfly. It's instantly recognizable by its striking light yellow-and-black wings, with twin tail-like ...
Phys.org / Older adults are at risk in heat waves, but it's not just age: How public systems and policies are failing them
Five years ago, British Columbia's heat dome became one of the deadliest weather disasters in Canadian history.
Medical Xpress / Team discovers metabolic pathway in cell nucleus that helps cancer progress
A team at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center has identified a novel metabolic pathway that plays a key role in enabling cancer to progress through gene activation. In a new study published in the journal Nature Communications, ...
Medical Xpress / One in five people will develop cancer in their lifetime, report finds
New findings in a report led by the American Cancer Society (ACS) reveal an urgent picture of a growing global cancer burden and underscore the lifesaving potential of stronger prevention and equitable access to care. According ...
Medical Xpress / Chromatin hubs help decide whether T cells fight chronic threats or fail
Chronic and viral infections can literally exhaust certain key cells in the immune system from a constant barrage of attacks. But a new pair of papers by scientists at the Hackensack Meridian Center for Discovery and Innovation ...
Medical Xpress / New model reveals how disability caregiving reshapes parents' lives over decades
Researchers are sounding the alarm on the long-term impact of caring for children with developmental disabilities in the absence of proper societal supports across the life course. A new conceptual study, published in the ...
Phys.org / Europe risks a pollinator crisis, researchers warn
Europe risks a severe crisis if the decline of wild pollinators continues. This is the key message of a new white paper prepared by 135 researchers from eight research consortia, including the projects BUTTERFLY, RestPoll, ...
