Personalized immunotherapy: Rapid screening of therapeutic combinations
An innovative testing platform that more closely mimics what cancer encounters in the body may allow for more precise, personalized therapies by enabling the rapid study of multiple therapeutic combinations against tumor cells. The platform uses a th.....»»
Using evidence from last Ice Age, scientists predict effects of rising seas on coastal habitats
The rapid sea level rise and resulting retreat of coastal habitat seen at the end of the last Ice Age could repeat itself if global average temperatures rise beyond certain levels, according to an analysis by an international team of scientists from.....»»
How incoming adenoviruses change their chromatin structure for efficient gene expression
Adenoviruses, known for their low pathogenicity and technological approachability, have become instrumental in many therapeutic applications, including as a vaccination vector platform during the recent SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Central to their efficacy.....»»
Researchers make genome prime editors smaller and more efficient for therapeutic applications
Prime editing technologies allow scientists to precisely edit the genome in a variety of ways and could one day be used to treat genetic diseases. Now researchers at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard have used cutting-edge continuous laboratory.....»»

Velociraptor is a sophisticated digital forensics and incident response tool designed to improve your insight into endpoint activities. Velociraptor enables you to conduct precise and rapid collection of digital forensic data across multiple endpoint.....»»
Rapid shifts from drought to downpour occurring more often: Study
New research shows that wild swings from severe drought to heavy rains are becoming more common with climate change in many parts of the world, and that feedback loops from the land itself are likely contributing to the trend......»»
Past abrupt changes in North Atlantic Overturning have impacted the climate system across the globe, study shows
The Dansgaard-Oeschger events are rapid Northern-Hemisphere temperature jumps of up to 15°C in Greenland that repeatedly occurred within a few decades during the last ice age......»»
Learning from viruses: Molecular fibers can help to introduce genetic material into cells
Pathogenic viruses that enter the human body can dock onto cells with their tentacle-like extensions, whereupon the cell takes up the viruses. This process, which is already known and occurs in diseases such as HIV, can also be used for therapeutic a.....»»
Line-scan Raman micro-spectroscopy provides rapid method for micro and nanoplastics detection
Microplastics—plastics particles smaller than 5 mm in size—have caused an environmental pollution issue that cannot be ignored by our society. Raman spectroscopy technology, with its non-contact, non-destructive and chemical-specific characterist.....»»
Wild tobacco mutants are more susceptible to insect attack but grow faster, shows study
Plants are not exposed to herbivores without defenses. When an insect feeds on a leaf, thereby wounding it and releasing oral secretions, a signaling cascade is elicited in the plant, usually starting with a rapid increase in the amount of the plant.....»»
Nearly two-thirds of the top fossil fuel producers in Australia and the world aren"t on track for 1.5°C climate target
Rapid reductions in fossil fuel production and use are essential to limit global warming to 1.5°C compared to pre-industrial levels. Our new research shows most of the world's major coal, oil and gas companies are yet to make meaningful reductions......»»
New technology developed for time-resolved measurement of hydroxyl radicals
Researchers led by Prof. Zhang Weijun from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have proposed a feasible approach for the rapid detection of hydroxyl radicals......»»
Rapid growth in coffee shops and competition presents a challenge for small independent coffee shops in Indonesia
In the midst of Indonesia's burgeoning coffee shop scene, a formidable challenge has emerged for independent establishments, according to research in the International Journal of Productivity and Quality Management. Many of the problems and their sol.....»»
Genetic blueprint for vaccine and therapeutics production in plants
An international research project led by QUT has made a major step forward on the potential of the Australian plant, N. benthamiana, to grow therapeutic proteins and vaccines cheaply and quickly. The research, titled "A multi-omic Nicotiana benthamia.....»»
A biochip that can be used to perform rapid genetic screening of thousands of molecules
A team of materials scientists and engineers at Stanford University, working with a colleague from ETH Zürich and another from Washington University in St. Louis, has developed a biochip that can be used to screen thousands of molecules and that was.....»»
MHZ9 modulates ethylene signaling at translational level in rice
Ethylene is a versatile gaseous plant hormone that plays an important role in rice growth, development, and environmental adaptation. Translational control allows the mRNA to be translated in an mRNA-selective, signal-responsive, and rapid manner......»»
Rapid infection test in dogs could curb antibiotic resistance
Scientists have developed a new way to rapidly diagnose bacterial infections in dogs, enabling testing and treatment with appropriate antibiotics on the same day......»»
