Scientists engineer bacteria to eat cancer tumors from the inside out

Scientists at the University of Waterloo are working on a new cancer treatment that uses specially engineered bacteria to consume tumors from the inside. The strategy relies on microbes that naturally thrive in oxygen-free environments, which makes the interior of many solid tumors an ideal target. “Bacteria spores enter the…

Scientists create ultra-low loss optical device that traps light on a chip

Researchers at CU Boulder have developed highly efficient optical microresonators that could support a new generation of powerful sensor technologies. A microresonator is a microscopic structure designed to confine light in a small space. As light circulates inside, its intensity increases. When that intensity reaches a sufficient level, scientists can…

Massive US study finds higher cancer death rates near nuclear power plants

A new nationwide study led by researchers at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health reports that U.S. counties situated closer to operating nuclear power plants (NPPs) have higher cancer death rates than counties located farther away. This is the first study of the 21st century to examine the…

Space lasers reveal oceans rising faster than ever

Rising global mean sea level (GMSL) is one of the clearest signs of a warming planet. Researchers at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) have produced the first highly precise 30-year (1993-2022) record of changes in global ocean mass, also known as barystatic sea level. Their findings show that the…

Training harder could be rewiring your gut bacteria

Regular exercise supports both physical and mental health. Now, new findings from Edith Cowan University (ECU) suggest that how intensely you train may also influence the makeup of your gut microbiome. PhD candidate Ms. Bronwen Charlesson examined how different training loads, ranging from high intensity to lighter periods, affect athletes’…

Scientists reverse muscle aging in mice and discover a surprising catch

Aging muscles heal more slowly after injury, a frustrating reality familiar to many older adults. New research from UCLA, conducted in mice, points to a surprising explanation. As muscles age, their stem cells build up high levels of a protein that makes them slower to switch on and repair damaged…
