Although bone marrow transplants have long been standard for acute leukemia, current treatments still rely on exact matches between donor and patient. Now,…
The discovery represents a further step in the ever-expanding field of understanding the ways in which stem cells develop into specific cells, a necessary…
The scientists, led by Wen-Biao Gan, PhD, associate professor of physiology and neuroscience at NYU School of Medicine, discovered that a delicate balancing…
“We completely take cell phones for granted,” said Sheila Hemami, Cornell professor of electrical and computer engineering, who leads the research with Eve…
But the decline of species and their habitats may not just make the world boring. New research now suggests it may also put you at greater risk for catching…
But the Jeff Brinker research group has determined that the very first stage of staph infection, when bacteria switch from a harmless to a virulent form,…
Excavation of caverns part of Fermilab’s Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment. With excavation work complete at the site where four gigantic particle detectors for the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) will be…
In a recent publication in Nature https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-024-07094-9, researchers at the Max Born Institute (MBI) in Berlin, Germany, and at Max-Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Garching report on a new…
Jefferson Lab accelerator physicists to partner with national lab, university and industry colleagues for development of compact SRF accelerators for industrial settings. Superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) technology allows particle accelerators to…
T cells are often called “assassins” or “killers” because they can orchestrate and carry out missions to hunt down bacteria, viruses, and cancer cells throughout the body. Mighty as they…
New insights into the release of Candidalysin promise progress in the treatment of Candida albicans infections. The toxin Candidalysin of the yeast Candida albicans is incorporated into an unusual protein…
Research team at the TWINCORE and the HZI shows how an enzyme regulates the pathogenicity of a clinically relevant pathogen. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important opportunistic pathogen responsible for life-threatening…
Synthetic biologists’ hack blood-glucose reaction to create chemotherapy detector. Rice University synthetic biologists have found a way to piggyback on the glucose monitoring technology used in automated insulin dosing systems…
In our rapidly industrialized world, the quest for sustainable materials has never been more urgent. Plastics, ubiquitous in daily life, pose significant environmental challenges, primarily due to their fossil fuel…
Materials that are incredibly thin, only a few atoms thick, exhibit unique properties that make them appealing for energy storage, catalysis and water purification. Researchers at Linköping University, Sweden, have…
ANYmal has for some time had no problem coping with the stony terrain of Swiss hiking trails. Now researchers at ETH Zurich have taught this quadrupedal robot some new skills:…
…and use far less energy. UMass Amherst research demonstrates that a memristor device can solve complex scientific problems using significantly less energy, overcoming one of the major hurdles of digital…
Quantum cryptography across large distances. Through steady advances in the development of quantum computers and their ever-improving performance, it will be possible in the future to crack our current encryption…
