Traditional cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation can come with collateral damage. In the process of killing cancer, the treatments harm normal cells, too, leading to both short- and long-term side effects. Even today’s targeted drugs and immunotherapy can have effects on normal tissues.
A new form of wave devouring propulsion (WDP) could power ships and help to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the maritime industry.
Despite their tiny sizes, aerosols, such as sea salt, dust, and ash, play a giant role in shaping weather and climate. These particles scatter light, act as the starting point for cloud formation, and can even initiate or limit rainfall.
Messenger bubbles produced by human cells can pick up bacterial products and deliver them to other cells, University of Connecticut researchers report in the Nov. 16 issue of Nature Cell Biology.
During the first two years of the pandemic, a COVID-19 infection during pregnancy increased the risk of preterm birth and NICU hospitalizations.
Health care organizations are looking to artificial intelligence (AI) tools to improve patient care, but their translation into clinical settings has been inconsistent, in part because evaluating AI in health care remains challenging.
A new study published in the journal Gut has shed light on the complex relationship between serum lipids, lipid-modifying targets, and cholelithiasis, a common condition characterized by the formation of gallstones.
Carbon capture is essential to reduce the impact of human carbon dioxide emissions on our climate. Researchers at the University of Tokyo and Nagoya University in Japan have developed a method to confirm whether carbon in concrete originates from the raw materials, or from carbon in the air which has been trapped when it reacts with the concrete to form the mineral calcium carbonate.
Creating and fostering ‘shared spaces’ can help to tackle the problems caused by gentrification and changing communities in Cornwall, a new study says.
A new study from the UW found that unfiltered air from rush-hour traffic significantly increased passengers’ blood pressure, both while in the car and up to 24 hours later.
During the nearly five decades of its operation, the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Hamburg has developed many fruitful collaborations with other scientific institutions located in the Hamburg metropolitan area. One example is the long-lasting collaboration between researchers at EMBL Hamburg and the Center for Biobased Solutions (CBBS) at the Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH), which has recently yielded new insights into the structure and function of a lipid-degrading enzyme found in a microbe adapted to living in extreme conditions.
A promising new form of ammonium phosphate fertilizer has been field-tested by University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign researchers. The fertilizer, struvite, offers a triple win for sustainability and crop production, as it recycles nutrients from wastewater streams, reduces leaching of phosphorus and nitrogen in agricultural soils, and maintains or improves soybean yield compared to conventional phosphorus fertilizers.
The use of synthetic phonics to teach reading to children in reception classes has improved attainment Children who struggle with learning to read are often given extra help with learning letter sounds Study shows that extra help in blending the sounds in words is most effective in improving the skills essential for reading.
A multi-institutional team led by Columbia Engineering has won a $5 million National Science Foundation (NSF) grant to address AI systems learning biases we don't want them to have and showing discrimination based on gender, race, religion, or other sensitive attributes.
A new study confirms that extreme rainfall is increasing exponentially with global warming and will likely get worse as emissions continue to rise.
A multinational team of scientists, drillers and engineers has deployed to a remote part of Antarctica on an urgent mission to predict how fast the West Antarctic Ice Sheet will melt from global and ocean warming.
The gene-editing technology CRISPR shows early promise as a therapeutic strategy for the aggressive and difficult-to-treat brain cancer known as primary glioblastoma, according to findings of a new study from Gladstone Institutes.
Hearst announced today that Carolyn Wong Simpkins, M.D., Ph.D., has been named president of its Zynx Health business unit, effective immediately. The announcement was made by Steven R. Swartz, president and chief executive officer of Hearst; Gregory Dorn, M.D., president of Hearst Health; and Charles Tuchinda, M.D., executive vice president of Hearst Health.
Irvine, Calif., Nov. 27, 2023 – Using new super-resolution microscopes, researchers at the University of California, Irvine and the University of Pennsylvania have for the first time observed electrical charge and discharge functions inside mitochondria isolated from cells. A mitochondrion is a structure within a cell that uses aerobic respiration to generate adenosine triphosphate, an organic compound that provides energy to support many processes in living tissues.
The return of bluefin tuna to Northern European waters is a conservation success story, but rising sea temperatures in their Mediterranean nursery grounds mean this recovery may be short-lived, according to new research led by the University of Southampton.

COVID-19 caused an alarming surge in premature births, but vaccines were key to returning the early birth rate to pre-pandemic levels, according to a new analysis of California birth records.
We all know the popular holiday song “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year.” But for many people, a more appropriate lyric might be “It’s the Most Stressful Time of the Year.”
Computer scientists led by Ning Zhang at the McKelvey School of Engineering developed AntiFake, a tool to protect voice recordings from unauthorized speech synthesis.
Researchers are making catalysts more efficient by designing nanoscale materials. Now scientists demonstrated that porous nanoscale silica films boost the catalytic activity of a metal palladium surface for carbon monoxide oxidation. The confined two-dimensional space between the metal catalyst and the silica film enhanced carbon monoxide conversion and increased carbon dioxide production by 12%, compared to palladium alone.
In a new Cell study, scientists at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) and Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, show how a protein called IKAROS helps "weave" the genome.
The Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) is pleased to announce the recipients of the fall 2023 CARES (Career Advancement and Research Excellence Support) Awards. CARES helps researchers alleviate financial burdens associated with caregiving, allowing the recipients to pursue professional development opportunities.
More than 120 staff and 80 students and interns from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) attended the American Physical Society’s Division of Plasma Physics (APS-DPP) Conference from Oct 30 to Nov. 3 in Denver.
Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey and RWJBarnabas Health have appointed Louise Ligresti, MD, as chief of Cancer Survivorship at New Jersey’s leading cancer center and the only one in the state designated as a Comprehensive Cancer Center by the National Cancer Institute.
Mediante su Programa de Sustentabilidad Ambiental, NOIRLab de NSF reducirá la totalidad de su huella de carbón anual en un 50% hacia fines de 2027, gracias a distintas asignaciones de fondos suplementarios de la Fundación Nacional de Ciencias de los Estados Unidos para la instalación de paneles solares y baterías en los telescopios de Gemini Sur y Vera C. Rubin, ambos situados en Chile, además de otras mejoras en las instalaciones de la base de operaciones y en las cumbres.
