Cellular ‘waste product’ rejuvenates cancer-fighting immune cells
A new study suggests that lactate, a metabolic byproduct produced by cells during strenuous exercise, can rejuvenate immune cells that fight cancer. The finding could eventually be used to develop new strategies to augment the anti-tumor effect of canc…

Researchers discover toxin that kills bacteria in unprecedented ways
A new study shows that the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, known to cause hospital-acquired infections such as pneumonia, secretes a toxin that has evolved to kill other species of bacteria.

Artificial breathing system reveals alveoli function in lungs
Scientists have created a model alveolar system that mimics the breathing action of the human lung and allows visualization of flow patterns within the alveoli. The chip they designed includes tubes arranged like the structure of a bifurcation point in…

High blood pressure awareness, control improved with better access to primary health care
In a study of both socioeconomically disadvantaged and socioeconomically advantaged neighborhoods, better access to primary health care was associated with improved high blood pressure awareness and control. These associations existed whether residents…

Pollution exposure in infancy alters gut microorganisms, may boost disease risk
Exposure to air pollution in the first six months impacts a child’s inner world of gut bacteria, or microbiome, in ways that could increase risk of allergies, obesity and diabetes, and influence brain development, suggests new research.

Martian rock-metal composite shows potential of 3D printing on Mars
A small amount of simulated crushed Martian rock mixed with a titanium alloy made a stronger, high-performance material in a 3D-printing process that could one day be used on Mars to make tools or rocket parts. The parts were made by researchers with a…

Frequency of premenstrual anxiety, mood swings a public health issue, study finds
Premenstrual mood swings and anxiety are so common — experienced by more than 64% of women — that they represent a ‘key public health issue globally,’ according to a new study.
