The mechanism behind melanoma resistance to treatment

2024-06-27

In many cases of malignant melanoma, the effect of targeted treatment is lost over time. A research team from UZH and USZ has now discovered that a factor secreted by tumor cells is responsible for the resistance. These findings could pave the way for more effective therapies. Malignant melanoma is one of the most aggressive types of cancer. Despite recent progress in effective therapies, the tumors of many patients are either resistant from the outset or become so during the course of treatment. “It is therefore crucial to understand the mechanism ...

Research shows how common plastics could passively cool and heat buildings with the seasons

2024-06-27

Researchers at Princeton and UCLA have developed a passive mechanism to cool buildings in the summer and warm them in the winter. In an article published June 27 in the journal Cell Reports Physical Science, they report that by restricting radiant heat flows between buildings and their environment to specific wavelengths, coatings engineered from common materials can achieve energy savings and thermal comfort that goes beyond what traditional building envelopes can achieve. “With the increase ...

Study supports precision radiation therapy in lung cancer

2024-06-27

HOUSTON ― Results from a new study led by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center support standard use of the more precise intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) over the alternative 3D-conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) for patients with unresectable, locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study, published today in JAMA Oncology, revealed fewer side effects with IMRT, with similar survival outcomes. A prospective secondary analysis of long-term outcomes from 483 patients on the Phase III NRG Oncology-RTOG 0617 randomized trial demonstrated ...

These mushrooms have “massively expanded” genomes to make them more adaptable to multiple lifestyles

2024-06-27

A study of multiple Mycena mushroom species reported in the journal Cell Genomics has found that they have unexpectedly large genomes. While the mushrooms had been thought to be purely saprotrophic – living by degrading dead organic material alone – the discovery suggests that they may instead have a collection of genes to enable them to adapt to different lifestyles as circumstances change. Interestingly, they show certain Mycena strains living in the Arctic have some of the largest mushroom genomes ever described. These mushrooms show widespread growth across their genome. This includes not only the genes that help them invade or interact ...

AAAS and BII inaugurate new prize recognizing translational achievements in women’s health

2024-06-27

In collaboration with the BioInnovation Institute (BII), AAAS is announcing the establishment of the BII & Science Translational Medicine Prize for Innovations in Women’s Health. Submissions are now open for the first year of the prize, which will be awarded in 2025. The new award will aim to recognize and elevate scientists who have made outstanding research discoveries that have translational potential to impact women’s health around the world. Relevant research topics include, but are not limited to, investigation into maternal health and gynecological conditions, areas of ...

$10.5M biomaterials center to connect researchers, fund innovation and fight resource discrimination

2024-06-27

Images Simultaneously advancing biomaterials research with clinical applications and connecting researchers at well-resourced institutions with those rich in diverse talent is the aim of a $10.5 million center supported by the National Institutes of Health. The Humanity Unlocking Biomaterials center, led by the University of Michigan and University of Washington, is designed to spur the development of biomaterials solutions that have potential in medical treatments by bringing together researchers and providing seed funding to kickstart ...

Last segment of the world’s largest telescope mirror successfully cast

2024-06-27

The European Southern Observatory’s Extremely Large Telescope (ESO’s ELT), under construction in the Chilean Atacama Desert, is one step closer to completion. German company SCHOTT has successfully cast the blank for the last of the 949 segments commissioned for the telescope’s primary mirror (M1). With a diameter of more than 39 metres, M1 will be by far the largest mirror ever made for a telescope. Too large to be made from a single piece of glass, M1 will consist of 798 hexagonal segments, each about five centimetres thick and 1.5 ...

Climate change and sea level rise pose an acute challenge for cities with combined sewer systems

2024-06-27

Older coastal cities, like Philadelphia, New York and Boston are at risk of being inundated by untreated sewage during floods. Due in part to the design of their combined sewer systems and in part due to sea level rise, these cities could be facing a growing public health crisis as climate change also drives more extreme precipitation, according to researchers at Drexel University who study urban stormwater management. The group recently published research that modeled the potential extent of the problem in a section of the coastal city of Camden, New Jersey, and the effectiveness of one proposed intervention to help ...

Revolutionary study finds optimal FES settings for enhancing muscle recovery training

2024-06-27

At present, stroke has become one of the most serious neurological diseases, which is usually accompanied by movement disorders and cognitive impairment. In recent years, the number of stroke patients has increased annually . Most stroke patients are accompanied by movement disorders, which seriously affect the normal life of patients. A groundbreaking study conducted by Shihao Sun and colleagues, recently published in the Cyborg Bionic Systems journal, has introduced innovative findings in the realm of Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES), particularly its application in muscle recovery and fatigue management. Functional ...
