A single protein may be holding back CAR T cancer therapy

Researchers from Columbia University and University Hospital Tübingen have discovered a protein that appears to play a major role in weakening CAR T cells over time. By disabling the protein, known as NFIL3, the scientists found that these engineered immune cells remained active longer and were better able to attack…

Scientists discover gut bacteria that may help protect against autism and ADHD

Scientists have uncovered a surprising connection between a baby’s earliest biological programming, the gut microbiome, and later brain development. The findings, published in Cell Press Blue, suggest that epigenetic changes present at birth can influence how gut bacteria develop during infancy. The study also found links between specific epigenetic patterns,…

A hidden pollutant is changing how the world's forests breathe

For centuries, forests have followed a remarkably consistent rhythm. Beneath the trees, roots and microscopic organisms steadily release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere as they break down organic material and fuel plant growth. Scientists call this process soil respiration, and it represents one of the largest carbon flows on Earth.…

A stellar “Rosetta stone” reveals the source of mysterious cosmic signals

Astronomers have traced a mysterious type of repeating cosmic signal to an unusual pair of stars, providing the strongest evidence yet for the source of one of astronomy’s most puzzling phenomena. The discovery was made by an international research team led by scientists at the University of Sydney using CSIRO’s…

Istat, nell’industria 700 mila lavoratori in meno dal 2007 – PMI – Ansa.it

L’industria italiana ha perso quasi 700 mila lavoratori, tra il 2007 e il 2024. Lo rileva l’Istat nel Rapporto annuale analizzando le unità lavorative annue (Ula).

Your brain starts making social decisions before you do

Why do we decide to approach other people? According to new research from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the answer may begin unfolding in the brain several seconds before any movement takes place. The study found that social behavior is preceded by a distinctive pattern of activity that spreads across…

One fat helped pancreatic cancer grow while another cut disease in half

For years, the common assumption has been simple: eating less fat may help lower cancer risk. New research suggests the picture is much more complicated. Scientists report that when it comes to pancreatic cancer, the specific type of fat in the diet may be more important than the total amount…

New hydrogen breakthrough turns waste heat into clean fuel

Researchers at the University of Birmingham have developed a new low-temperature approach to hydrogen production that could make the clean fuel cheaper and more practical to generate. The technique could be used both in large centralized facilities and in smaller local systems that take advantage of waste heat from major…

New light-powered chip could accelerate AI and quantum computing

Scientists at Monash University have created a tiny new circuit that can generate, direct, and read information carried by light, all within a single chip. The advance marks a significant milestone for a growing area of research known as “valleytronics,” which could help drive future breakthroughs in faster computing, lower…
