6+ hour, 43+ min ago   (659+ words) Scientists have uncovered a natural braking system that helps the immune system switch off inflammation and prevent harmful immune cells from building up. Boosting this pathway in people reduced inflammation-related immune changes and sped up pain relief, pointing toward potential…...

1+ day, 5+ hour ago   (407+ words) Researchers found that blocking IL1RAP could disrupt a powerful inflammatory network that helps pancreatic cancer survive treatment. In preclinical experiments, the approach reduced tumor-protecting cells and fibrosis while boosting the activity of cancer-fighting T cells. That could make chemotherapy and immunotherapy…...

2+ day, 6+ hour ago   (781+ words) Scientists have discovered that the Moon-forming collision may have depended heavily on how hot and physically strong early Earth and Theia were. New simulations found that some impacts create the familiar disk of debris that later becomes the Moon, while…...

2+ day, 7+ hour ago   (1233+ words) UCLA researchers developed ready-made cancer-fighting T cells from cord blood stem cells that can attack solid tumors through two separate detection systems. In mice, a single dose controlled cancer and extended survival while avoiding a dangerous complication associated with donor-derived…...

2+ day, 17+ hour ago   (483+ words) Tiny Ions Help DNA Overcome Repulsion Professor Agnes Noy, from the School of Physics, Engineering and Technology at the University of York, co-led the research. She said: "This discovery could help researchers identify regions of the genome specially involved in…...

4+ day, 3+ hour ago   (41+ words) Volcanic rocks in Colombia are rewriting the timeline of the collision between Central and South America. Their magnetic signatures show that major tectonic deformation had already weakened by the late Miocene, suggesting the most intense collision occurred earlier than previously…...

4+ day, 20+ hour ago   (365+ words) Physicists have directly observed a long-predicted quantum effect of gravity, putting one of Einstein’s foundational ideas to a striking new test. Using ultracold atoms, researchers split an atom’s quantum wave so that one part was held in place while the…...

4+ day, 21+ hour ago   (488+ words) Researchers have found a potential way to attack prostate cancers that evade treatment by changing their cellular identity. Combining two types of drugs reversed many of these changes and sharply slowed tumor growth in preclinical experiments, offering a possible new…...

6+ day, 1+ hour ago   (699+ words) The human gut is home to trillions of microorganisms (the microbiome), a vast community that helps shape digestion, immune function and metabolism. Now, researchers led by the University of Vienna have found that many gut bacterial species are more complex…...

6+ day, 5+ hour ago   (646+ words) MIT engineers have developed injectable “mini livers” designed to help support people whose failing livers can no longer perform essential jobs. Instead of replacing the damaged organ, the approach injects liver cells together with tiny hydrogel spheres and supportive cells,…...
