Announcing the Devcon SEA Supporter Program & Impact Forum
Ethereum community friends, We’re excited to share Devcon Supporter Program, which explores new ways to fund Ethereum-related public goods and impactful projects, is BACK for Devcon 7 in SEA. Originally launched at Devcon VI in Bogotá as an alternativ…
Intermittent fasting shows promise in improving gut health, weight management
Participants following an intermittent fasting and protein-pacing regimen, which involves evenly spaced protein intake throughout the day, saw better gut health, weight loss and metabolic responses. These benefits were notably greater than those seen w…
Scientists identify gene that could lead to resilient ‘pixie’ corn
A widely found gene in plants has been newly identified as a key transporter of a hormone that influences the size of corn. The discovery offers plant breeders a new tool to develop desirable dwarf varieties that could enhance the crop’s resilience and…
Altering cancer treatment dosing could reduce climate impact, study finds
Changing how often a popular cancer therapy is delivered would reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve environmental impact without decreasing cancer survival, according to a new analysis.
New deep learning model is ‘game changer’ for measuring embryo development
A new deep learning model performs a task that biologists have struggled with for centuries — how to measure the incredibly complex process of embryonic development. Scientists have shown that the AI model, known as Dev-ResNet, can identify what happe…
Smarter foragers do not forage smarter
Why do primates have big brains? In the Panamanian rainforest, scientists pitted large-brained primates against smaller-brained mammals to find out who was the smartest forager.
Optimal cancer-killing t cells discovered
A team of cancer researchers has discovered a new subset of T cells that may improve the outcome for patients treated with T-cell therapies.
Circadian clock can be leveraged to enhance cancer immunotherapy
A multidisciplinary research team has revealed that the circadian clock — the biological pacemaker that governs daily rhythms in physiological processes, including immune functions — can be leveraged to enhance the efficacy of checkpoint inhibitor ca…
