Scientists discovered that tiny fragments from mouse mitochondria can make the body’s defense cells work against tumors. These fragments, called formyl peptides, are normally produced when bacteria or mitochondria break down proteins. Researchers first identified five specific mouse peptides t
European Watch Company, a Boston‑based family business that has sold luxury watches for over three decades, is bringing its new online magazine to the world. Crown & Caliber was originally a platform for pre‑owned watches and now becomes a daily source of stories about timepieces, fashion, travel an
Scientists have created four new compounds that could be game-changers in the fight against autoimmune diseases and severe infections. These compounds, named IGYZT01046, IGYZT01058, IGYZT01066, and IGYZT01068, were designed to target a key protein called IRAK-4, which plays a big role in these condi
Glucose monitoring is a big part of diabetes care. But there's a problem. It's hard to compare different systems. Why? Because they are tested in different ways. This makes it tough to know which one works best. First, not all information is shared openly. Some studies and details are kept secret.
Drugs like amphetamine are often used in crimes, especially at parties and clubs. These drugs can be dangerous, and detecting them quickly is important. Traditional methods for detecting these drugs are slow and complicated. Now, there's a new tool that could change the game. It's a wearable device
Science has a big problem. A place called arXiv helps scientists share their work quickly. It's like a big online noticeboard where researchers post their findings before they get officially checked. This has been super useful for a long time. But now, AI is causing trouble. AI can make fake scienc
Stem cell transplants, specifically allo-HSCT, are a big help for blood and cancer issues. But they can cause problems, like lung issues. Doctors use spirometry to check lung health. It's common, but it might not catch everything. Oscillometry is a newer method. It might pick up on smaller changes t
Cancer is a sneaky opponent. It uses various tricks to grow and spread. One of its tools is a protein called TRK. This protein is part of a larger group of proteins that act like cell switches. When these switches are activated by specific signals, they can cause cancer cells to grow and spread. So
Microplastics are everywhere. They're in our water, our food, and even the air we breathe. But what happens when these tiny plastic bits get into our bodies? A recent study looked at how different types of microplastics affect brain cells, especially the ones that protect our nervous system. The st
In South Carolina, the measles outbreak is growing. Over 700 cases have been reported, with 54 new infections since Tuesday. The health department has not shared the ages of those affected, but the numbers are rising. Quarantines and isolations are in place. Currently, 485 people are in quarantine,
