Bacteria’s hidden weapon: Toxins locked inside a capsule secured by a cork

The microbiome is home to an estimated 100 trillion bacteria, existing as a dense colony of many different strains and species. Similar to all...

Micrometer-sized particles encased in tailored polymer membranes

Metal hydrides are considered a cutting-edge storage material for hydrogen. These hydrides function even better, if the micrometer-sized hydride particles are coated with a...

New insight into unconventional superconductivity

Signatures for a novel electronic phase that enables charge to flow spontaneously in loops have been observed in a kagome superconductor. Using ultra-sensitive muon...

Mapping mutation ‘hotspots’ in cancer reveals new drivers and biomarkers

Researchers have identified a previously unrecognized key player in cancer evolution: clusters of mutations occurring at certain regions of the genome. These mutation clusters...

Weight gain in pregnancy may be linked to later growth patterns in daughters

Rapid weight gain in the first and final months of a pregnancy may play a key role in the development of excess fat tissue...

Five elements to optimize treatment of in-hospital stroke

An in-hospital stroke is a stroke that occurs during a hospitalization for another diagnosis. In-hospital stroke affects roughly 35,000-75,000 hospitalized people annually in the...

Scientists create a global repository for cell engineering

An international team has launched CellRepo, a species and strain database that uses cell barcodes to monitor and track engineered organisms. The database keeps...

Researchers restore function in a gene that can suppress liver cancer and enhance immunotherapy

mRNA nanoparticles effectively and safely restored the function of the p53 tumor-suppressor gene in hepatocellular carcinoma models. When used in combination with immune checkpoint...

Weight-loss maintainers share strategies for success

The first large-scale study in which weight loss maintainers could self-identify what helped them succeed reveals some secrets of how people lose weight and...

Sewer slime can hang on to SARS-CoV-2 RNA from wastewater

Researchers report that sewer slime can accumulate SARS-CoV-2 RNA, which could decompose or slough off later, potentially impacting the accuracy of wastewater epidemiology studies.
