In 10 seconds? Farmers could grow almost 50% more rice and potato with a human gene added to the genome of the crops, according to a study. This is good news for millions of people whose staples are threatened by climate change....
In 10 seconds? Scientists are engineering immune cells called macrophages to kill cancer with the hope that these ‘living drugs’ will outperform CAR-T cells in attacking solid tumors. Could you remind me what these CAR-T treatmen...
In 10 seconds? Immune cells called myeloid cells are garnering interest for their multiple roles in both cancer formation and treatment. Research is actively unraveling the many nuances of this diverse cell population and designin...
In 10 seconds? A discovery into how coral-like sea creatures sense light can explain why coral reefs get into mortal danger when they are "bleached" due to warming waters or acidity. It also can direct scientists to a so...
In 10 seconds? A group of researchers found a link between a patient’s belief that they deserve to get better and the outcome of their psychiatric treatment. Patients who did not believe they deserved to improve were more likely t...
In 10 seconds? Lymphoma patients with healthy levels of vitamin D seem to respond better to cancer treatments than those with below healthy levels. If results like these hold up in larger studies, it will mean that cancer patients...
In 10 seconds? Lizards in warm environments are being “born old” due to the increased pressure from climate change, threatening extinction, researchers have found. What do you mean they are being “born old”? A new study on 22 wil...
In 10 seconds? Emerging cancer treatments, in general, are performing better in phase 1 clinical trials these days than they have historically. These findings will hopefully encourage cancer patients to participate in early trials...
In 10 seconds? Scientists have turned desert sand into farmland by putting into practice a discovery about ‘liquid nanoclay’. According to research ‘clay nano flakes’ have dramatically improved the nutrient content of sandy soils...
