Medical Xpress / New study reveals promising strategy to retrain neutrophils to target breast cancer
A new study conducted by researchers from McGill University, the Lady Davis Institute for Medical Research (LDI) at the Jewish General Hospital, Princess Margaret Cancer Center and MIT has identified a novel approach to combat ...
Phys.org / Air pollution cuts in East Asia likely accelerated global warming
The cleanup of air pollution in East Asia has accelerated global warming, a new study published today (Monday, 14 July) in the journal Communications Earth and Environment has found.
Phys.org / Cryo-electron microscopy—Reaction cycle of an enzyme for CO₂ fixation decoded
High-resolution cryo-electron microscopy makes it possible to study complex enzymatic processes in detail. With this method, a research team of the University of Potsdam and Humboldt-Universität Berlin succeeded in characterizing ...
Medical Xpress / Tuberculosis bacteria play possum to evade vaccines—mechanisms revealed in study
A vaccine protects more than 100 million infants each year from severe tuberculosis (TB), including the fatal brain swelling it can cause in babies and toddlers. But the vaccine doesn't prevent adults from developing the ...
Medical Xpress / Higher anticholinergic use linked to faster decline in mobility and strength
Kaiser Permanente Washington scientists report that higher cumulative anticholinergic exposure predicted a faster decline in gait speed and grip strength among older adults.
Phys.org / Study reveals how de novo genes are turned on and regulated in cellular networks
Most genes are ancient and shared across species. But a small subset of genes are relative newcomers, spontaneously emerging from stretches of DNA that once encoded nothing at all.
Phys.org / Regrowing hearing cells: New gene functions discovered in zebrafish offer clues for future hearing loss treatments
While humans can regularly replace certain cells, like those in our blood and gut, we cannot naturally regrow most other parts of the body. For example, when the tiny sensory hair cells in our inner ears are damaged, the ...
Tech Xplore / Mechanical tuning boosts performance of terahertz communication devices at high frequencies
Terahertz frequencies above 100 GHz offer extremely wide bandwidths suitable for next-generation wireless communications, and research toward their practical use is ongoing worldwide. In particular, the 150 GHz and 300 GHz ...
Phys.org / How plants respond to scattered sunlight in different ecosystems
When sunlight hits clouds or other atmospheric particles, it scatters and becomes diffuse light. Unlike direct sunlight, diffuse light can reach deeper into shaded plant canopies, where plants have dense, layered leaves. ...
Medical Xpress / Chronological age determined within 1.36 years using DNA methylation patterns
Researchers at the Hebrew University have developed an exceptionally accurate method for predicting chronological age from DNA, based on two short genomic regions. Using deep learning networks analyzing DNA methylation patterns ...
Phys.org / Plastic 'death trap' revealed in birds' nests
New research reveals the impact of discarded plastic materials on young birds—with chicks dying after becoming entangled in synthetic fibers used to build their nests.
Medical Xpress / Fighting leukemia by breaking a hidden cell loop
Researchers at MUSC Hollings Cancer Center have identified a signaling loop involved in the growth and persistence of leukemia cells—and developed a novel immunotherapy that can disrupt that loop to boost immune function ...
