When a single bacterial cell divides into two during periods of rapid growth, it doesn't split in half once it reaches a predetermined size. Instead, data has shown, a cell will divide once it has added a certain amount of mass.
Imagine being able to look inside a single cancer cell and see how it communicates with its neighbors. Scientists are celebrating a new technique that lets them study the fatty contents of cancer cells, one by one.
The 17th annual JoAnne Kernan Strikeout Cancer Memorial began on Friday with a ceremonial first pitch from "Pop" Kernan, the 89-year old father of Canfield softball head coach Michael Kernan.
Two Tata workers have raised nearly £2,000 in memory of their former steelworker father. Former steelworker Joe Campbell died last year and his two sons decided to do something to raise cash for Prostate Cancer UK in his memory. Mechanical engineering team leader David and crane resource team leader Ryan held several events for workers the Weldon Road plant in recent weeks. A quiz night raised £238.73 after a successful bake sale and ‘Wear it Blue’ event helped boost the total to £942.63. This...
Thermophilic fungi are chief components of mycoflora in a variety of natural and manmade composting systems, including rotting hay, stored grains, wood mulch, nesting material of birds and animals, municipal refuse, and self-heating accumulated organic matter. Thermophilic fungi are also a potential source of natural products, which complement the metabolite libraries of mesophilic fungi and bacteria.
Cardiovascular diseases, including stroke and myocardial infarction, are the world's leading causes of mortality, accounting for more than 18 million deaths a year. A team of KIT researchers has now identified a new cell type in blood vessels responsible for vascular growth.
A research team has engineered a "broadband nanogap gold spectroscopic sensor" using a flexible material capable of bending to create a controlled gap. With the developed technology, it is possible to rapidly test various types of materials, including infectious disease viruses, using only a single nano-spectroscopic sensor to find molecular fingerprints. The research findings have been published in Nano Letters.
A recent UCLA study demonstrates a new process for screening T cells, part of the body's natural defenses, for characteristics vital to the success of cell-based treatments. The method filters T cells based on the receptor proteins found on their surface—which enable them to latch onto certain threats—and the type and amount of cell-killing or immune response-triggering molecules that they secrete.
José Andrés, founder of organisation, told mourners gathered at Washington National Cathedral how the loss of his staff ‘should inspire us to do better’The seven World Central Kitchen aid workers killed by Israeli airstrikes represented the “best of humanity” and risked everything “to feed people they did not know and will never meet,” José Andrés, the celebrity chef who founded the organisation, told mourners on Thursday.Speaking at Washington National Cathedral to those gathered to honour the...
In February 2024, a research article titled "Pumpkin CmoDREB2A enhances salt tolerance of grafted cucumber through interaction with CmoNAC1 to regulate H2O2 and ABA signaling and K+/Na+ homeostasis" was published by Professor Zhilong Bie's team from the National Key Laboratory for Germplasm Innovation & Utilization of Horticultural Crops/College of Horticulture and Forestry Sciences at Huazhong Agricultural University and the Hubei Hongshan Laboratory, in Horticulture Research.
Though the test is in its infancy, it could someday be used to spot three of cancer's deadliest forms.
Doctors in Burlingame are utilizing a robot to help patients suffering from the country's deadliest cancer.
