This reengineered HPV vaccine trains T cells to hunt down cancer

Over the last decade, scientists at Northwestern University have identified a key insight about how vaccines work. The ingredients matter, but the way those ingredients are physically arranged can dramatically influence performance. After validating this concept in multiple studies, the researchers applied it to therapeutic cancer vaccines aimed at HPV-driven…

Sugary drinks linked to rising anxiety in teens

A new study reports a clear association between high sugar drink intake and anxiety symptoms in teenagers. Researchers from Bournemouth University collaborated on a large review that examined findings from multiple earlier studies exploring the relationship between diet and mental health. By analyzing the combined data, the team looked for…

A spinning gyroscope could finally unlock ocean wave energy

Ocean waves represent one of the largest and most consistent sources of renewable energy on Earth. Despite their promise, converting wave motion into usable electricity has proven difficult. Most existing wave energy devices perform well only under specific wave conditions, limiting their effectiveness in the constantly shifting environment of the…

Intermittent fasting fails to beat standard dieting for weight loss

Intermittent fasting does not appear to help overweight or obese adults lose more weight than standard diet advice or even no structured program at all, according to a new Cochrane review. The findings challenge the widespread belief that changing when you eat leads to better weight loss results than traditional…

The Moon is still shrinking and it could trigger more moonquakes

Researchers have created the first worldwide map and detailed study of small mare ridges (SMRs), subtle geological features that signal tectonic activity on the Moon. The findings, published in The Planetary Science Journal, come from scientists at the National Air and Space Museum’s Center for Earth and Planetary Studies and…

Viagra and shingles vaccine show surprising promise against Alzheimer’s

Researchers have pinpointed three already approved medications that may be repurposed to treat or prevent Alzheimer’s disease. Instead of starting from scratch, scientists examined medicines that are currently used for other conditions to see whether any could help protect the brain. The study, funded by Alzheimer’s Society and led by…

Breakthrough CRISPR system could reverse antibiotic resistance crisis

Antibiotic resistance (AR) has escalated rapidly in recent years, growing into a serious global health emergency. Disease-causing bacteria are continually adapting, finding new ways to survive treatments that once eliminated them. As a result, more drug resistant “superbugs” are spreading, and projections suggest that by 2050 they could be responsible…

Climate change is accelerating but nature is slowing down

For years, many ecologists have argued that as global warming intensifies, nature should change more quickly. The logic seems straightforward. Rising temperatures and shifting climate zones would force species out of some areas while opening new habitats elsewhere, triggering faster local extinctions and rapid colonization. In theory, ecosystems should be…

NASA fired three rockets into the northern lights and the results are stunning

NASA has successfully launched two sounding rocket missions from Alaska to investigate the powerful electrical forces behind the northern lights. The Black and Diffuse Auroral Science Surveyor and the Geophysical Non-Equilibrium Ionospheric System Science mission, known as GNEISS (pronounced “nice”), both lifted off from the Poker Flat Research Range near…

A satellite illusion hid the true scale of Arctic snow loss

For decades, assessments from the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) have tracked how Earth’s climate is shifting and have helped shape policies aimed at slowing global warming. Those assessments draw on extensive climate records, including annual measurements of autumn snow cover in the Northern Hemisphere collected by…

Champions League: Borussia Dortmund-Atalanta 2-0 – Calcio – Ansa.it

Colpita all’inizio e alla fine del primo tempo, l’Atalanta trova nel secondo i correttivi per ribaltare il possesso palla a proprio favore, ma senza De Ketelaere e Raspadori incide ben poco. Va al Borussia Dortmund l’andata dei playoff di Champions League per l’accesso agli ottavi di finale. Una sfida posticipata…
