Medical Xpress / Cell therapy substantially reduces severe rheumatoid arthritis in first clinical trial
Immunotherapies such as CAR T-cell therapy are used primarily to treat cancer. In the future, these patient-specific therapies, manufactured from patients' own immune cells, could also help cure autoimmune diseases. Six patients ...
Medical Xpress / New RNA vaccine strategy aims to build broader immunity against mutating viruses
New research by Malaghan's Connor Laboratory, published in PNAS, shows how directing the immune system toward conserved areas of the COVID virus and its many variants using RNA technology could be a significant step toward ...
Phys.org / A Google-like search engine for single-cell RNA data could answer previously impossible questions
Imagine doctors could understand exactly which cells caused a patient's cancer or whether pathogens contributed to the disease. They could then use the information to tailor a treatment plan to the patient's specific cancer. ...
Phys.org / SpaceX recovers Starship from the Indian Ocean a month after launch and is shipping it back to Texas
SpaceX has pulled off its biggest salvage operation yet, recovering its most recently launched Starship from the Indian Ocean.
Medical Xpress / Brain scans reveal how personalized social media content may amplify negative moods
While social media algorithms have become excellent at matching a user's viewing habits with targeted, personalized content, psychologists at The University of Texas at Dallas have found that these algorithms may negatively ...
Phys.org / Tracks and tooth marks reveal bone-crushing dogs at Nebraska supervolcano ashfall site
Thirty-five years on—well, 12 million, technically—Ashfall Fossil Beds State Historical Park continues to offer important glimpses of prehistoric life in Nebraska.
Tech Xplore / Single-step process could overcome key challenge in recycling of spent EV batteries
As the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) continues to grow, the disposal of spent EV batteries is emerging as a major social and environmental challenge. Wastewater generated during conventional battery recycling processes ...
Medical Xpress / A Dutch institute issues a 'Red Alert' over potentially lethal Trump-shaped ecstasy pills
A Dutch drug addiction and mental health institute warned users on Friday about potentially lethal ecstasy pills shaped to look like the head of U.S. President Donald Trump.
Phys.org / Milky Way's own gravity can mimic dark matter clues, stellar stream simulations suggest
Most of the stars in our Milky Way galaxy sit neatly on a flat plane. But the space around our galaxy is much more chaotic. Rogue bands of stars called "stellar streams" orbit the Milky Way much like planets in our solar ...
Medical Xpress / Brain recordings hint at how AI reads facial expressions differently from us
The human brain can recognize a person's face and expression in less than a blink of an eye, but current artificial intelligence (AI) models, although fairly accurate at doing the same, use a different process than the brain. ...
Phys.org / How methylation sets a parasite in motion to invade host cells
Parasites such as Toxoplasma gondii and the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum depend on rapid, precisely controlled movement to complete their life cycles. To start moving, they must assemble actin filaments at their ...
Phys.org / Satellite images show bedrock and glacier collapsed on Nepal-China border, then rivers flooded
As rescue teams searched for missing people following catastrophic flooding along the Nepal-China border, Earth scientists reviewed satellite imagery for clues to the cause and assessed the devastation.
