Medical Xpress / Cancer drug combo activates inflammatory signal that could boost immune response
What if a new combination of cancer drugs could sound an alarm, alerting the body's immune system to invoke a targeted response to cancer cells? Findings from a new study appear in a paper published in Nucleic Acids Research.
Phys.org / Why shame is an evolution-based defense mechanism
It is unpleasant, strange and often comes as a surprise: shame. But why do we feel it? An international study has shed new light on the emotion of shame, which has long been considered harmful. The conclusion: Shame is not ...
Medical Xpress / First large-scale atlas of senescent cells could help inform future therapies for age-related diseases
A research consortium has established a new framework to identify and catalog senescent cells—cells that stop dividing but remain active in the body. Because senescent cells accumulate with age and are thought to contribute ...
Medical Xpress / How body clock may shape inflammation, cancer risk and timing of future treatments
Daily life is shaped by the solar day, influencing when we wake up, eat, work and sleep. Inside the body, a similar internal timing system—present in nearly every cell—known as the circadian clock synchronizes many biological ...
Tech Xplore / Self-regenerating catalyst overcomes key durability challenge in hydrogen energy
Imagine a catalyst that can heal itself after being damaged. A POSTECH-led research team has developed an electrocatalyst that regenerates its own metallic surface after oxidation, much like how a wound heals naturally. This ...
Dialog / Binary asteroids' puzzling configurations may link to multi-satellite history
Binary asteroid systems are widespread throughout our inner solar system. For decades, the standard paradigm held that many of them form when a rapidly spinning primary asteroid casts off material, which then reaccumulates ...
Tech Xplore / World-first cloud service makes full use of quantum computing capacity
Researchers in Japan have developed quantum multi-programming auto mode, a function that automatically runs quantum programs from different users in parallel. Launched on the Center for Quantum Information and Quantum Biology ...
Phys.org / When seeds mislead, weeds succeed: Researchers uncover surprising ways weeds spread
Biologists have long thought that seed traits, such as the presence of wings, are the key to predicting in what way, and how far, weeds can disperse. Now, a trio of researchers has revealed that unexpected modes of seed dispersal ...
Phys.org / AI study reveals stark inequalities in global climate plans
An international team including researchers from the University of Alicante (UA) and the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) has used artificial intelligence to analyze the climate commitments submitted to the United ...
Medical Xpress / Chlamydia vaccine push gets blueprint as key membrane protein structure emerges
Scientists at UT Southwestern Medical Center, working with other U.S. researchers, have uncovered the structure of a key cell membrane protein in a bacterial model for Chlamydia trachomatis, the cause of the world's most ...
Medical Xpress / Supercharged natural killer cells suppress solid tumors in mice
Scientists have made great progress in harnessing the body's own immune cells to treat so-called liquid tumors, cancers of the blood and lymphatic system. Yet these powerful cell therapies have been no match for solid tumors, ...
Medical Xpress / Chile's food warning labels and ad bans cut child obesity risk, analysis suggests
Chile's complementary set of policies targeting food products high in fat, salt and sugar plausibly reduces the risk of school-age children being overweight or having obesity, finds a study published in The Lancet.
