Yale Scientists Develop Potential Stealth Cancer Therapy
Yale Cancer Center/Smilow Cancer Hospital

Sneaking by cancer’s defenses, by disguising tumor-fighting antibodies inside the molecules cancer uses to nourish tumor growth, is the basis of a novel therapy from Yale Cancer Center researchers at the Yale School of Medicine (YSM). As explained in a paper published July 15 in ACS Central Science, the Trojan-horse therapy proved effective against several cancer tumor types in the laboratory, including brain tumors that can be difficult to reach with therapy due to the protective blood-brain barrier.

Researchers Directly Simulate the Fusion of Oxygen and Carbon Nuclei
Department of Energy, Office of Science

The fusion of two nuclei is a complex process influenced by the relative energy and angular momentum of the nuclei and how their structures evolve as they collide. In this study, the researchers performed the most comprehensive computation to date of fusion reaction processes. The results indicate differences between the simulation results and experimental measurements which point to the presence of presently unaccounted for phenomena in fusion models.

UC Irvine Earth system scientists discover missing piece in climate models
University of California, Irvine

Irvine, Calif., July 15, 2024 — As the planet continues to warm due to human-driven climate change, accurate computer climate models will be key in helping illuminate exactly how the climate will continue to be altered in the years ahead. In a study published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, a team led by researchers from the UC Irvine Department of Earth System Science and the University of Michigan Department of Climate and Space Sciences and Engineering reveal how a climate model commonly used by geoscientists currently overestimates a key physical property of Earth’s climate system called albedo, which is the degree to which ice reflects planet-warming sunlight into space.

Academic Psychiatry Urged to Collaborate with Behavioral Telehealth Companies
Wolters Kluwer Health: Lippincott

The strengths of academic psychiatry departments and the fast-growing private telehealth sector are complementary, according to a Perspective article published in Harvard Review of Psychiatry, part of the Lippincott portfolio from Wolters Kluwer. Justin A. Chen, MD, MPH, a psychiatrist at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York City, and colleagues reviewed literature on provision of outpatient mental health care in the United States. They concluded that academic psychiatry departments and telehealth companies could mutually benefit from strategic collaboration.

Receptors make dairy cows a prime target for avian influenza
Iowa State University

A new study by a broad team of researchers at Iowa State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine helps explain why dairy cows infected by highly pathogenic avian influenza are shedding the virus in their milk. Their findings could help develop biosecurity measures aimed at slowing the spread of the illness.
