Multiple myeloma, a cancer of the bone marrow, remains difficult to treat despite modern CAR T cell therapies. In recent research, a team led by Dr. Armin Rehm presents an improved immunotherapy that recognizes two distinct ...
Phys.org / The mechanical ratchet: A new mechanism of cell division
Cell division is an essential process for all life on Earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early embryonic development have remained elusive—particularly for egg-laying species.
Medical Xpress / Humans may be predisposed to understanding the complexities of music
There is a long-standing debate in the field of music cognition about the impact of musical training and whether formal training is needed to pick up higher-order tonal structures—the overarching harmonic framework of a ...
Medical Xpress / Eating more food preservatives linked to higher risk of type 2 diabetes
Higher consumption of food preservatives, widely used in industrially processed foods and beverages to extend their shelf life, has been linked to an increased risk of type 2 diabetes.
Phys.org / Lunar spacecraft exhaust could obscure clues to origins of life
Over half of the exhaust methane from lunar spacecraft could end up contaminating areas of the moon that might otherwise yield clues about the origins of Earthly life, according to a recent study. The pollution could unfold ...
Tech Xplore / Meta lines up massive supply of nuclear power to energize AI data centers
Meta has cut a trio of deals to power its artificial intelligence data centers, securing enough energy to light up the equivalent of about 5 million homes.
Tech Xplore / Breaking performance barriers of all-solid-state batteries through pure structural design
Batteries are an essential technology in modern society, powering smartphones and electric vehicles, yet they face limitations such as fire explosion risks and high costs. While all-solid-state batteries have garnered attention ...
Phys.org / Marine geoscientists link warming with ancient ocean 'salty blob'
Climate change has many culprits, from agriculture to transportation to energy production. Now, add another: the deep ocean salty blob.
Phys.org / Cracking sleep's evolutionary code: Neuron protection traced back to jellyfish and sea anemones
A new study from Bar-Ilan University shows that one of sleep's core functions originated hundreds of millions of years ago in jellyfish and sea anemones, among the earliest creatures with nervous systems. By tracing this ...
