A 13-year study of tiny penguins in Australia has dispelled the long-held myth that these seabirds mate for life, with the 'divorce rate' nearly 10 times that of the current statistics for US adults. And, not surprisingly, it all comes down to kids.Continue ReadingCategory: Biology, ScienceTags: Monash University, Penguins, Animals, Animal science, Conservation, Environment

NASA has revealed details about its plan to deorbit the International Space Station (ISS) after it's decommissioned in 2030. At a press conference, NASA explained how the US Deorbit Vehicle (USDV) being built by SpaceX will be used for the job.Continue ReadingCategory: Space, ScienceTags: NASA, SpaceX, International Space Station
X-rays light up brain tumor cells – then selectively destroy them
Posted by ArielTechGeek 323 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
X-rays are known to penetrate the body’s deep tissues, which is why they’re used to deliver cancer radiotherapy. Whereas radiotherapy uses X-ray beams to damage tumor cells’ DNA, killing them, photodynamic therapy uses a different method to achieve the same result. The photons in laser beams are used to excite light-reactive molecules called photosensitizers that have been placed in tumors, causi
Nanodrones harness natural-born killers to target and destroy cancer
Posted by ArielTechGeek 484 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Researchers have made a breakthrough in cancer treatment by harnessing the disease-destroying abilities of the body’s natural killer cells. Their novel nanodrones selectively target a tumor, enabling the killer cells to do what they do best: Suppress cancer growth. The discovery opens the door to developing tumor-specific immunotherapies for hard-to-treat cancers.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical
New type of genetically-engineered T-cell may destroy solid cancer tumors
Posted by ArielTechGeek 756 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Cancer cells are notorious for evading detection by the body’s immune system, making them difficult to treat. But a promising new type of genetically engineered T-cell that can effectively destroy solid cancer tumors may be just what the doctor ordered.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Cancer, Genetic engineering, Immunotherapy, Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre
Bacteria genetically engineered to seek and destroy tumors
Posted by ArielTechGeek 779 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Cancer tumors are particularly adept at evading the body’s immune response, making treatment difficult. A new study has genetically engineered a common gut bacteria, enabling it to seek out and destroy cancer tumors from the inside.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Cancer, Tumor, Tumors, Gut Bacteria, Bacteria, Genetic engineering, Columbia University
