Phys.org / How hidden viruses wake up inside seaweed and pass on to future generations
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Biology Tübingen have shown that giant viruses long thought to exist only as fleeting, free-living particles that can embed themselves permanently in the genome of a multicellular ...
Medical Xpress / How dead tumor cells could make chemotherapy and radiotherapy work better
As tumors outgrow their blood and nutrient supplies, or respond to treatments like chemotherapy and radiotherapy, individual cancer cells die, exposing their internal scaffolds. These dead cells are an abundant source of ...
Phys.org / New shell helps gold nanoparticles keep shape under laser heat longer
Gold nanoparticles, which are about one-thousandth the width of a human hair, can convert light they receive from a laser into heat. This capacity, known in medicine as photothermal therapy, is effective at destroying cancer ...
