Medical Xpress / A single oncolytic virus injection may help T cells infiltrate glioblastoma
A team led by investigators at Mass General Brigham and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute has shown that a single injection of an oncolytic virus—a genetically modified virus that selectively infects and destroys cancer cells—can ...
Phys.org / 7,000 years of change: How humans reshaped Caribbean coral reef food chains
Human activity has lessened the resilience of modern coral reefs by restricting the food-fueled energy flow that moves through the food chains of these critical ecosystems, reports an international team of researchers in ...
Medical Xpress / Wearable trackers can detect depression relapse weeks before it returns, study finds
Could a smart watch act as an early-warning system for depression relapse? New research from McMaster University suggests that disruptions in a person's sleep and daily activity routine, as detected through a simple wrist-worn ...
Medical Xpress / Human mesenchymal stem cells show promise in treating neonatal brain damage, paving way for stem cell trials
Every year, around 15 million babies worldwide are born before 37 weeks of gestation. Being born preterm can disrupt development, and earlier births increase the risk of life-changing health outcomes. There are currently ...
Medical Xpress / Fragile X study uncovers brainwave biomarker bridging humans and mice
Numerous potential treatments for neurological conditions, including autism spectrum disorders, have worked well in lab mice but then disappointed in humans. What would help is a noninvasive, objective readout of treatment ...
Medical Xpress / No association between mRNA COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy and autism in children, new research shows
The mRNA COVID-19 vaccine is not associated with autism or other neurodevelopmental problems in children whose mothers received the vaccine immediately before or during pregnancy, according to new research presented today ...
Medical Xpress / Key gene behind drug resistance in small cell lung cancer identified
A research team has discovered a crucial mechanism that underlies chemotherapy resistance and metastasis in small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Their study shows that the silencing of the RASA4 gene through epigenetic mechanisms ...
Phys.org / Parabolic mirror-enhanced Raman spectroscopy enables high-sensitivity trace gas detection
A research team led by Prof. Fang Yonghua from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences proposed and systematically optimized a novel parabolic mirror cavity-enhanced Raman spectroscopy ...
Medical Xpress / Tiny worm offers clues to combat chemotherapy neurotoxicity
Chemotherapy remains one of the most powerful tools in the fight against cancer, yet it often comes with significant long-term side effects that can dramatically affect patients' quality of life. Among the most debilitating ...
Medical Xpress / Nearly three quarters of US baby foods are ultra-processed, new study finds
An alarming 71% of grocery store baby food products in the United States are classified as ultra-processed foods (UPFs), according to new research published in the journal Nutrients. Researchers at The George Institute for ...
Phys.org / The radical propulsion needed to catch the solar gravitational lens
Sending a mission to the solar gravitational lens (SGL) is the most effective way of actually directly imaging a potentially habitable planet, as well as its atmosphere, and even possibly some of its cities. But, the SGL ...
Phys.org / Bacterial hitchhikers can give their hosts super strength
A Dartmouth study finds that molecular hitchhikers living within bacteria can make their hosts extra resistant to medical treatment by corralling them into tightly packed groups. The findings introduce a previously unknown ...
