FDA-approved drug may finally help immunotherapy defeat rare liver cancer

Researchers found that a rare liver cancer evades immunotherapy by luring immune T cells away from the tumor and trapping them in nearby fibrous tissue. An FDA-approved drug called AMD3100 freed those T cells to attack the cancer, significantly improving the effectiveness of immu

Artificial 'leaf' powers wireless biomedical device

Plants convert light into energy efficiently through photosynthesis—an ability that scientists and engineers still struggle to match with electronic devices. Recently, researchers have looked beyond traditional semiconductor materials to create devices using a promising class of

Social media messages may help counter youth loneliness epidemic by encouraging real-world

Loneliness among young adults has reached what the U.S. surgeon general has called an "epidemic," with recent estimates suggesting that roughly half of U.S. adults report feeling lonely, and rates are particularly high among people ages 18–29. A new study from the University of N

Semiconductor quantum dots 'reawaken' predicted Rabi oscillations, boosting quantum contro

Physicists at Paderborn University have, for the first time, experimentally demonstrated the so-called "return" of Rabi oscillations in semiconductor quantum dots. The phenomenon, which was first predicted theoretically in 2007, describes the decrease in the emission intensity of

An iron-driven chain reaction may trigger mass death of harmful algae blooms

Over recent decades, harmful algal blooms have become increasingly common. These blooms often consist of bacteria called "cyanobacteria" in freshwater ecosystems. They can produce debilitating toxins, suffocate marine life by depleting oxygen in the water, and make water unsafe f

Vulnerable butterfly recorded in the Botanical Garden at Uppsala

The Botanical Garden in Uppsala was recently visited by animal ecology researchers, who conducted a BioBlitz to find, identify and record as many insects as possible in the Botanical Garden. One of the finds was an endangered butterfly called the Small Blue, Cupido minimus. It is

Primate evolution kept aging rates stable for 25 million years despite lifespan gaps

Biologists group animals with similar traits into broad categories called orders. Despite their similarities, animal species in the same order can have very different average lifespans.

First dinosaur bone from Antarctica found in a drawer

The fossil, collected in Antarctica in 1985, is part of the tail of a beast called a Titanosaur. O recorte ajuda a contextualizar a pauta dentro de Agro.

Nanopore technology identifies proteins molecule by molecule

Proteins are responsible for most functions in the human body. However, their analysis, which is essential for understanding diseases, developing drugs and discovering new biomarkers, remains highly complex. Using a technology called "nanopore detection," a team at the University

What DC's algal bloom reveals about a growing water threat

When bright green water appeared in the newly renovated Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, it drew national attention and sparked political finger-pointing. The culprit: cyanobacteria—sometimes called blue-green algae—a type of bacteria that can produce toxins harmful to people, p

Nearby 'Super Earth' may be a better candidate for life than previously thought

Using the Hobby-Eberly Telescope at McDonald Observatory, astronomers have taken a closer look at a nearby exoplanet and discovered it may be more Earth-like than previously thought. The planet, known as GJ 3378b, orbits a small, cool star called a red dwarf. Just 25 light-years

Nautilus array to track missing exoplanet atmospheres

Exoplanet atmospheres have become prime targets for astrobiologists in the search for life beyond Earth. This is because exoplanet surfaces can't be directly imaged yet, so astronomers must get creative in how they search for signs of life, also called biosignatures. Presently, p
