11+ hour, 35+ min ago   (594+ words) Scientists discovered that aging cells can use malfunctioning mitochondria to unlock inflammatory genes and keep the immune system stuck in a prolonged state of alert. Blocking one part of this process reduced inflammation and improved healthy aging in mice, suggesting…...

12+ hour, 5+ min ago   (691+ words) Mount Etna’s ancient eruptions followed radically different paths, with some magma lingering near the surface for weeks while other magma raced upward from nearly 30 kilometers deep in just hours. Scientists traced the difference to volcanic gases such as carbon dioxide…...

1+ day, 1+ hour ago   (726+ words) Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University's School of Computer Science, the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and the University of Washington have uncovered a previously underexplored feature of Alzheimer's disease that may help scientists identify new avenues for treatment. To…...

1+ day, 2+ hour ago   (339+ words) Most men may be missing an important dietary clue about prostate cancer. A new survey found that only 20% knew research has linked dairy consumption with increased prostate cancer risk, while 66% said they would consider avoiding dairy after learning about the…...

1+ day, 13+ hour ago   (659+ words) Scientists have uncovered a natural braking system that helps the immune system switch off inflammation and prevent harmful immune cells from building up. Boosting this pathway in people reduced inflammation-related immune changes and sped up pain relief, pointing toward potential…...

2+ day, 12+ hour ago   (407+ words) Researchers found that blocking IL1RAP could disrupt a powerful inflammatory network that helps pancreatic cancer survive treatment. In preclinical experiments, the approach reduced tumor-protecting cells and fibrosis while boosting the activity of cancer-fighting T cells. That could make chemotherapy and immunotherapy…...

3+ day, 13+ hour ago   (781+ words) Scientists have discovered that the Moon-forming collision may have depended heavily on how hot and physically strong early Earth and Theia were. New simulations found that some impacts create the familiar disk of debris that later becomes the Moon, while…...

3+ day, 14+ hour ago   (1233+ words) UCLA researchers developed ready-made cancer-fighting T cells from cord blood stem cells that can attack solid tumors through two separate detection systems. In mice, a single dose controlled cancer and extended survival while avoiding a dangerous complication associated with donor-derived…...

4+ day, 51+ min ago   (483+ words) Tiny Ions Help DNA Overcome Repulsion Professor Agnes Noy, from the School of Physics, Engineering and Technology at the University of York, co-led the research. She said: "This discovery could help researchers identify regions of the genome specially involved in…...

5+ day, 10+ hour ago   (41+ words) Volcanic rocks in Colombia are rewriting the timeline of the collision between Central and South America. Their magnetic signatures show that major tectonic deformation had already weakened by the late Miocene, suggesting the most intense collision occurred earlier than previously…...
