UCLA Health Study Identifies Strategy to Boost Strength and Longevity of Cancer Fighting T Cells

Researchers at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center have identified a promising new strategy to make cancer-fighting immune cells stronger and potentially longer-lasting, a discovery that could help improve the effectiveness of immunotherapies that use a patient's own immune cells to attack cancer.

Major Virology Breakthrough Identifies Third Known Family of Bacteria Infecting RNA Viruses

Thriving alongside trillions of bacteria in the human digestive tract is a vast population of viruses. Ever since one such denizen of the gut microbiome, known as picobirnavirus, was first spotted decades ago, researchers thought it directly infected human tissue and played a role in gastrointestinal illness.

Optimizing Laser Pulse Energy for Deep-Brain Imaging Without Tissue Damage

As light travels deeper into the brain, it scatters. Three-photon microscopy, the current state of the art, reduces the resulting background fluorescence and can, in principle, image much deeper than earlier techniques-but to do that, it uses average laser power limits that cause overheating and damage living tissue.

“Izas, la princesa guisante” and Sant Joan de Déu Hospital Barcelona Launch an International Expert Tumor Board to Improve Care for Children with Gliomatosis Cerebri

The Spanish association “Izas, la princesa guisante” and the Pediatric Cancer Center Barcelona (PCCB) at Sant Joan de Déu Hospital have reached another milestone in the fight against childhood cancer: they have helped establish an international expert tumor board dedicated to pediatric gliomatosis cerebri.

Researchers Develop Predictive Model for Mass Spectrometry Imaging

Andrei Fedorov and his team have found a way to take some of the guesswork out of mass spectrometry imaging (MSI), potentially giving scientists better tools to explore the molecules that influence our health.

High-Throughput Phenotyping Reveals Genetic Variation in Root System Architecture

Roots are central to water and nutrient uptake, anchorage, and soil microorganism interactions, yet they remain difficult to measure in the field. Traditional root phenotyping often relies on destructive digging, soil coring, or minirhizotrons that capture only part of the root system.

A New Way to Watch Plants Respond to Disease in Real Time

Scientists at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) have devised a novel method for improving the accuracy of luminescent biological reporters, which enables researchers to monitor gene expression in living plants for extended periods, including days, weeks, and potentially months or even years.

Study Details Mechanisms Driving Irreversible Fungal Cell Wall Fusion

The fusion of two cells is a decisive event in the sexual reproduction of many organisms. In fungi, cells must not only bring their membranes together and merge them, but also locally open their protective cell wall.
