Research suggests that physical stress and surgery can suppress natural killer cell activity, leading to increased tumor development. Protective measures, such as analgesia, may help prevent this suppression.
Researchers discover collective spin excitation in high-temperature superconductor, suggesting magnetic pairing mechanism. The experiment provides important insights into the behavior of electron spins, crucial for models of high temperature superconductivity.
Roy Curtiss III's patent covers a genetically engineered bacterial antigen delivery system that induces immune responses against foreign antigens. The technology is being used to develop recombinant vaccines for various pathogens, including Heliobacter pylori and Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that writing about stressful experiences improved symptoms for nearly half of patients with asthma and arthritis. After four months, the patients who wrote down their feelings showed significant clinical improvement compared to those who wrote about their daily ...
Researchers from the Partnership for Natural Disaster Reduction (PNDR) presented various studies on wind and earthquake resistance, including a large-scale extreme wind research facility and hurricane-resistant homes. The PNDR program aims to reduce damage from natural disasters through concerted nationwide research efforts.
Invasive pests are harming California's agricultural industry, ornamental plants, and wildlife. The glassy-winged sharpshooter spreads Xylella fastidiosa, causing Pierce's disease in grapevines and almond leaf scorch disease, while yellow starthistle infests 22% of the state, replacing desirable vegetation.
