Medical Xpress / AI-designed proteins outperform existing CAR T designs against BCMA tumors in mice
CAR T cell therapy, which involves genetically modifying a patient's own immune cells to fight cancer, is a technique that has shown great promise, especially against blood cancers. But currently, only about 4% of patients ...
Medical Xpress / How the heart, lungs and brain work together to shape experience
People speak of "butterflies in the stomach," a "racing heart," being "choked up" or needing to "catch breath." Language routinely treats emotion and thought as though they inhabit the body. But why are events of the mind ...
Phys.org / LLM use may threaten freedom of thought and equality across law, journalism and education
The Human Rights Center at UC Berkeley School of Law has released a human rights assessment of the use of large language models (LLMs) in the fields of law, journalism and education.
Phys.org / Families' interest in their kids' education is falling around the globe as scores drop, test shows
Families' interest in their kids' education is falling in many high-income countries as school systems struggle with plunging test scores, according to newly released results from a standardized test taken by 15-year-olds ...
Phys.org / Hungry scent detection dogs more likely to 'cry wolf'
Dogs trained in scent detection may be better at sniffing out the right smell after breakfast, with new research finding hungry dogs working for treats are more likely to falsely identify the wrong scent. The study, led by ...
Phys.org / Forever chemicals break apart into fluoride under UV treatment, revealing a cleanup roadmap
UC Riverside environmental engineers have identified key chemical reactions that occur when ultraviolet light is used to destroy "forever chemical" pollutants in water, providing a roadmap for developing more effective cleanup ...
Phys.org / Rewetting peatlands may curb warming-driven CO₂ emissions
Peatlands store large amounts of carbon. However, when they are drained, they can become substantial sources of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO₂).
Medical Xpress / Wireless brain-recording device enables animal neuroscience experiments in natural habitats
A new wireless device—lighter than a U.S. dime and shaped like a tiny chef's hat—can track the brain waves of animals as they move in natural habitats, opening doors to understanding complex behaviors that are impossible ...
Medical Xpress / Third measles death recorded in US in 2026
A 40-year-old woman in Pennsylvania has died of measles, authorities said Sunday, bringing this year's death toll from the highly contagious, preventable disease to three amid declining vaccination rates.
Phys.org / Nepal flood disaster exposes cascading threats in Himalayas
A catastrophic flood in Nepal that left thousands missing began with a collapse of ice and rock high in the mountains—a warning that disaster planning must prepare for chains of hazards, not isolated events, experts say.
Phys.org / Chandra uncovers 'hypersoft X-ray sources' that may solve two astrophysical puzzles
Using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, scientists have discovered a new class of objects behaving unlike any they have seen before. Astronomers suggest these newly spotted objects in other galaxies may help solve not one, ...
Phys.org / 'Heel-strike' may have allowed early humans to walk farther—at the cost of high-impact forces
The average person takes thousands of steps each day, instinctively walking heel-to-toe. Although they hardly register them, those consistent heel-first strides are more distinctive to humans than previously thought and allowed ...
