Glycerol phosphate serves as a terminator of glycan elongation in cancer malignancy
Dystroglycans on epithelial cell surfaces interact with the extracellular matrix via long sugar chains (called matriglycans), and they are responsible for cell adhesion. Abnormalities in the formation of matriglycans can impair cell adhesion and caus.....»»
Our Next Energy extends EV battery range with lithium iron phosphate
Our Next Energy hit its goal of a 350-mile range on a typical EV, comparable with most nickel manganese cobalt batteries that power EVs but at a 25 percent lower cost......»»
Trucking bankruptcy highlights auto-industry logistics concerns
Last week's bankruptcy of one of the largest trucking companies in the U.S. serves as another reminder to suppliers of the still-fragile state of the supply chain, industry experts said......»»
YouTube to prohibit false claims about cancer treatments under its medical misinformation policy
YouTube announced Tuesday that it will start removing false claims about cancer treatments as part of an ongoing effort to build out its medical misinformation policy......»»
Researchers identify biomarkers that may detect risk of advance prostate cancer in Black men
Scientists at City of Hope, one of the largest cancer research and treatment organizations in the United States and a leading research center for diabetes and other life-threatening illnesses, have identified a cell metabolism process found in men wi.....»»
Scientists reveal how proteins drive growth of multiple cancer types
Scientists have completed a deep analysis of the proteins driving cancer across multiple tumor types, information that can't be assessed by genome sequencing alone. Understanding how proteins operate in cancer cells raises the prospect of new therapi.....»»
Researchers improve production for short-lived scandium radioisotopes
Scandium radioisotopes are potentially useful for medical imaging such as positron emission tomography (PET) scans. However, health care providers do not currently use these isotopes to image cancer because they are difficult to produce in the amount.....»»
Neutrons seek to stop cancer from hijacking a metabolic highway
After a highly lauded research campaign that successfully redesigned a hepatitis C drug into one of the leading drug treatments for COVID-19, scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are now turning their drug design app.....»»
Novel research could provide better analysis of the role of extracellular vesicles and particles in diseases, cancer
Justus Ndukaife, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at Vanderbilt University, is leading innovative research that more effectively traps nanosized extracellular vesicles and particles (EVPs) to analyze their roles in cancer, a.....»»
Bioengineered tool unmasks cancer cells
Cancer cells can evade the body's immune defenses by exploiting a normally helpful and ubiquitous group of molecules known as mucins. Now, Stanford researchers have engineered a biomolecule that removes mucins specifically from cancer cells—a disco.....»»
Scientists invent new resorbable biomaterials for implantable medical devices
What if we had tiny devices in our bodies that could constantly monitor damaged arteries, accelerate bone regeneration and wound healing, or facilitate drug delivery for cancer treatment? This could open up remarkable opportunities for the treatment.....»»
Tiny antibodies hold big promise for cancer treatment
Using antibodies derived from alpacas, a University of Kentucky research team has developed a tool that could lead to new therapies to stop the growth of several types of cancer......»»
Nanozymes drive tumor-specific drug delivery while minimizing toxicity
Chemotherapy is a mainstay of cancer treatment. While effective, this therapy indiscriminately kills rapidly dividing cells—cancerous or otherwise—so patients frequently experience severe side effects, ultimately limiting its utility......»»

Apple Business Essentials launched in 2022 as a subscription service for companies using iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV. CDW, an IT solutions firm that serves business across various industries, is now offering Apple Business Essentials to its custo.....»»
The Mystery Genes That Are Keeping You Alive
Nobody knows what around a fifth of your genes actually do. It’s hoped they could hold the secret to fixing developmental disorders, cancer, neurodegeneration, and more......»»
T cells burn out just a few hours after encountering cancer tumors
Why do T cells become exhausted within a few hours of bumping into cancer? Enlarge / This microscopy image shows a cytotoxic T cell (blue) attacking a cancer cell (green) by releasing toxic chemicals (red). (credit: Alex Ritter,.....»»
Liquid metal may be a "Terminator terror" in the global fight against pathogens
A new liquid metal combination is shaping up as a potential secret weapon in the global fight against antimicrobial resistance, which is already rendering some antibiotic medications powerless against 'superbugs'......»»
Novel liquid metal nanoparticles for cancer photoimmunotherapy synthesized
Liquid metals (LM) such as pure gallium (Ga) and Ga-based alloys are a new class of materials with unique physicochemical properties. One of the most prominent applications of LMs is photothermal therapy against cancer, in which functional LM nanopar.....»»
There’s a big problem with Samsung’s new Android tablets
Samsung gave some meaningful upgrades to the Galaxy Tab S9 series. But an Android tablet is only as good as the software it serves, yet One UI seems ignorant......»»
Deep learning for new protein design
The key to understanding proteins—such as those that govern cancer, COVID-19, and other diseases—is quite simple: Identify their chemical structure and find which other proteins can bind to them. But there's a catch......»»
Scientists identify an alternative system for producing the medical isotope scandium-44
Scandium-44 is a promising medical isotope for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. PET allows doctors to measure the activity of the cells in the body to help identify cancer, heart disease, and other conditions. Scandium-44 can be produced t.....»»
