New research published in Nature Ecology and Evolution reveals significant recent shifts in tree diversity among the tropical forests of the Andes and Amazon, driven by global change.
Medical Xpress / CAR T cells with boosted BACH2 protein can fight cancer more effectively
UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have discovered that increasing the levels of a protein called BACH2 makes engineered cancer-fighting immune cells behave more like stem cells, improving their therapeutic effectiveness. ...
Medical Xpress / Predicting microbubble distribution for blood-brain barrier opening
A clinical study shows that preoperative dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can help predict how microbubbles will distribute in the human brain. This is a key step toward optimizing ...
Medical Xpress / How will weight-loss jabs change the food industry?
Consumers are surrounded by food that is highly conducive to weight gain. No one likes dieting and very few have lasting success. But now weight-loss injections are seen as game changers, yielding results that seem miraculous ...
