Discover St. Jude research from Paul Thomas, PhD, linking SARS-CoV-2 infections and molecular mimicry with multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children.
Researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine have been awarded a five-year, $3.2 million grant from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the National Institutes of Health, to test a multilevel intervention in community-based oncology practices in the NCI’s Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP).
Immunobiologists Robert Schreiber, PhD, and Hussein Sultan, PhD, of Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, found that a subset of immune cells that normally puts the brakes on the immune system to prevent it from attacking the body’s healthy cells inadvertently also dampens cancer immunotherapy.
Mark Lumley, Ph.D., distinguished professor of psychology in Wayne State University’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, was recently awarded the 2024 Nathan W. Perry, Jr. Award for Career Service to Health Psychology from the Society for Health Psychology.
Can plasma be sufficiently heated inside a tokamak using only microwaves? New research suggests it can! Eliminating the central ohmic heating coil normally used in tokamaks will free up much-needed space for a more compact, efficient spherical tokamak.
Explore how scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have identified causes for age-related differences in treatment outcomes of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
An AI-based analysis of over 2 million hospital visits has found that most pneumonia diagnoses made in the hospital will change from a patient’s entrance to their discharge; clinical notes on pneumonia diagnoses reflect similarly high uncertainty.
A Wayne State University professor recently received a three-year, $626,467 grant from the National Science Foundation’s Division of Physics. The project, “Probing Nonadiabatic Strong Field Ionization with Phase-Resolved Attoclock,” will research a quantum mechanical process known as quantum tunneling.
A third-generation Anton supercomputer, developed by D. E. Shaw Research, will soon arrive at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center. A $3.15-million, five-year award from the National Institutes of Health will fund the system's operations, making it available without cost for non-commercial use by biomedical researchers at U.S. universities and other nonprofit institutions.
Learn how scientists at St. Jude are leading research to improve CAR T-cell therapy for osteosarcoma by enhancing chemokine homing.
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have developed a compound that is effective against common bacteria that can lead to rare, dangerous illnesses.
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have developed a way to study aged neurons in the lab without a brain biopsy, allowing them to accurately model the effects of aging in the development of late-onset Alzheimer's disease.
Highly localized TB strains are less infectious in cosmopolitan cities and more likely to infect people from the geographic area that is the strain’s natural habitat.
A new 3D printing method developed by UC San Diego engineers is so simple that it uses a polymer ink and salt water solution to create solid structures. The work has the potential to make materials manufacturing more sustainable and environmentally friendly.
A nasal COVID-19 vaccine blocks transmission of the virus, according to an animal study by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. The findings suggest that vaccines delivered directly to the nose or mouth could play a critical role in containing the spread of respiratory infections.
Researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine have received a five-year, $3.2 million grant from the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), to study the effectiveness of non-pharmacological treatments for migraine.
Researchers develop a more environmentally friendly approach to manufacturing nano-scale microchip devices using water as a solvent in place of toxic chemicals. The method not only cleans up the manufacturing waste stream, but also enables the integration of electronic and biological components.
Wayne State University Professor Charles Winter, Ph.D. was awarded a three-year, $554,853 grant from the National Science Foundation to investigate new molecules and chemical reactions that can enable the growth of metal and metal-silicon thin films for advanced transistors, such as those used in tech devices like computers, phones and cars.
A large trial of strategies to reduce distracted driving showed that those that were “gamified” yielded a lasting reduction in handheld phone usage while driving
