Medical Xpress / Study reveals why some immune disorders trigger severe food allergies, and others don't
A new study has shed light on why patients with certain rare immune disorders develop severe, food-triggered allergic reactions while others with similar diagnoses do not. The findings, published in the Journal of Experimental ...
Phys.org / Engineered nanoparticles could deliver better targeted cancer treatment to lymph nodes
Scientists at McGill University and the Rosalind and Morris Goodman Cancer Institute have developed a new way to deliver cancer immunotherapy that caused fewer side effects compared to standard treatment in a preclinical ...
Phys.org / Sniffer dogs can detect wildlife trafficking via shipping container air samples
Adelaide University researchers have shown that pairing sniffer dogs with a simple air-sampling device could dramatically improve the detection of illegally trafficked wildlife hidden inside shipping containers.
Medical Xpress / AI decodes tissue characteristics of type 2 diabetes
Researchers from several partner institutions of the German Center for Diabetes Research (DZD) have collaborated with international colleagues to develop a new approach for visualizing subtle tissue changes in the pancreas ...
Medical Xpress / A landmark 'evolutionary double-bind' strategy to overcome treatment resistance in prostate cancer
Many patients with metastatic cancers receive therapy that is initially highly effective, often resulting in complete remission. However, cancer cells have a remarkable capacity to evolve resistance to currently available ...
Medical Xpress / People prefer the empathy of humans, but rate 'fake' AI empathy higher
Artificial Intelligence (AI) agents, particularly the large language models (LLMs) underpinning the functioning of ChatGPT and other popular conversational platforms, are now used daily by millions of people worldwide. As ...
Phys.org / NASA will return its moon rocket to the hangar for more repairs before astronauts strap in
Grounded until at least April, NASA's giant moon rocket is headed back to the hangar this week for more repairs before astronauts climb aboard.
Tech Xplore / Physics-aware AI algorithm uses Newton's third law to keep simulations stable
A team of EPFL researchers has developed an AI algorithm that can model complex dynamical processes while taking into account the laws of physics—using Newton's third law. Their research is published in the journal Nature ...
Phys.org / Fracking in Argentina 'linked to hundreds of tremors'
The extraction of gas and oil by fracking—large-scale fracturing of underground rocks by injecting water, sand and additives—is generating growing concern in Argentine Patagonia. Neuquén province—home to the country's ...
Phys.org / Sometimes less is more: Messier nanoparticles may actually deliver drugs more effectively than tightly packed ones
The tiny fatty capsules that deliver COVID-19 mRNA vaccines into billions of arms may work better when they're a little disorganized. That's the surprising finding from researchers who developed a new way to examine these ...
Phys.org / Bacterial strain from 5,000-year-old cave ice shows resistance against 10 modern antibiotics
Bacteria have evolved to adapt to all of Earth's most extreme conditions, from scorching heat to temperatures well below zero. Ice caves are just one of the environments hosting a variety of microorganisms that represent ...
Phys.org / Scientists reveal best- and worst-case scenarios for a warming Antarctica
The climate crisis is warming Antarctica fast, with potentially disastrous consequences. Now scientists have modeled the best- and worst-case scenarios for climate change in Antarctica, demonstrating just how high the stakes ...
