Scientists found two brain receptors that control amyloid beta clearance in Alzheimer's. Activating them boosted natural cleanup, reducing plaques and improving memory in mice, suggesting a path to safer, cheaper drugs.
Chinese researchers developed a more efficient method to produce cancer-fighting natural killer (NK) cells from cord blood stem cells, reducing costs and preparation time for immunotherapy.
A brain parasite can infect immune cells designed to kill it. Research shows these cells use an enzyme called caspase-8 to self-destruct, killing the parasite and controlling the infection.
New research challenges the habit loop theory of compulsive behavior. In rats, brain inflammation led to more deliberate, goal-driven actions, not habits. This suggests some compulsions involve excessive, misdirected control, not a loss of it.
QKD uses quantum physics for secure communication, detecting eavesdropping via signal disturbance. A new study shows that pointing error (misalignment) in optical systems increases errors and reduces secure key generation, with asymmetry sometimes improving performance.
New sensor uses DNA, quantum dots, and CRISPR to detect cancer biomarkers in blood with high sensitivity, enabling early diagnosis and treatment monitoring.
Scientists created a human spinal cord organoid model that replicates injury effects like cell death and scarring. Testing a "dancing molecules" therapy on it reduced scarring and stimulated nerve regrowth, supporting its potential for human spinal cord injury treatment.
Northwestern scientists found that rearranging vaccine components at the nanoscale, without changing ingredients, can dramatically boost immune response against HPV-driven cancers, advancing structural nanomedicine.
Study of 200k adults finds low-carb or low-fat diets only lower heart disease risk when they focus on nutrient-dense, plant-based foods, not just cutting carbs or fat.
Researchers used quantum capacitance to read information from Majorana qubits, overcoming a key challenge in quantum computing by detecting their distributed, protected state.
