Chalk-coated textiles cool in urban environments

As air temperatures stay elevated through fall months, people may still want clothes that cool them down while outside, especially if they live in cities that stay warmer than rural…

Key pathway leading to neurodegeneration in early stages of ALS identified

Findings point to potential for short-circuiting the progression of the fatal disease if diagnosed early. Approximately 5,000 people in the U.S. develop amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) each year. On average,…

Updated findings in preventive breast cancer vaccine study

Data presented at Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer Annual Meeting. Cleveland Clinic researchers are presenting updated findings from their novel study of a vaccine aimed at preventing triple-negative breast cancer,…

Breaking carbon–hydrogen bonds to make complex molecules

A team of scientists led by Caltech and Emory University has synthesized a highly complex natural molecule using a novel strategy that functionalizes normally nonreactive bonds, called carbon–hydrogen (C–H) bonds….

Nanoparticle bursts over the Amazon rainforest

Rainfall induces bursts of natural nanoparticles that can form clouds and further precipitation over the Amazon rainforest. During the wet season in the Amazon rainforest heavy rainfall frequently occurs during…

New mechanism: How cancer cells escape the immune system

An international team led by Goethe University Frankfurt has identified an intracellular sensor that monitors the quality of so-called MHC-I molecules, which help the immune system recognize and kill harmful…
