Drug targeting clear cell renal cell carcinoma shows promising approach
UT Southwestern Medical Center

In a groundbreaking phase one clinical trial led by UT Southwestern Medical Center, a short interfering RNA (siRNA) drug directed to tumor cells effectively disrupted HIF2α, a key driver of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Published in Clinical Cancer Research, the findings illustrate the potential of siRNA for cancer therapy.

Newswise: Laser-Treated Cork Absorbs Oil for Carbon-Neutral Ocean Cleanup

Laser-Treated Cork Absorbs Oil for Carbon-Neutral Ocean Cleanup
American Institute of Physics (AIP)

In Applied Physics Letters, researchers use laser treatments to transform ordinary cork into a powerful tool for treating oil spills. They tested variations of a fast-pulsing laser treatment, closely examining the nanoscopic structural changes and measuring the ratio of oxygen and carbon in the material, changes in the angles with which water and oil contact the surface, and the material’s light wave absorption, reflection, and emission across the spectrum to determine its durability after multiple cycles of warming and cooling.

Newswise: Magnetic Microcoils Unlock Targeted Single-Neuron Therapies for Neurodegenerative Disorders

Magnetic Microcoils Unlock Targeted Single-Neuron Therapies for Neurodegenerative Disorders
American Institute of Physics (AIP)

In the Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology A, researchers deploy an array of microscopic coils to create a magnetic field and stimulate individual neurons. The magnetic field can induce an electric field in any nearby neurons, the same effect created by an electrode but much more precise. They used an array of eight coils, which combined can induce electric fields using much less current per coil, and employed soft magnetic materials, which boost the magnetic strength of the coils. The researchers constructed a prototype of their coil array, called MagPatch, and encapsulated it within a biocompatible coating.

   
Newswise: Unveiling a New Quantum Frontier: Frequency-Domain Entanglement

Unveiling a New Quantum Frontier: Frequency-Domain Entanglement
Chinese Academy of Sciences

Entanglement has paved the way for enriching our understanding of physics and implementing quantum information technology. Scientists at POSTECH introduce a new type of entanglement: Frequency-domain photon number-path entanglement. Utilizing a frequency beam splitter converting single-photon frequency with a 50% probability, they observe a two-fold enhanced resolution of interference pattern compared to the single-photon counterpart, with unprecedented stability.
