Researchers reveal new mechanisms of how fructose promotes colorectal cancer

A study published in Cell Metabolism reveals that fructose inhibits the polarization of M1-type tumor-associated macrophages, promoting colorectal cancer development. Fructose interacts with hexokinase 2 and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor type 3 to suppress calcium levels and activate p38 MAPK and STAT1.

Compact error correction: towards a more efficient quantum ‘hard drive’

A three-dimensional quantum error correction architecture was discovered, which can handle errors scaling like L<sup>2</sup> (LxL) in two-dimensions. This breakthrough promises to enhance the reliability of quantum information storage and reduce physical computing resources needed for 'logical qubits', paving the way for a more compact
