A new study has shown that an experimental class of cancer drugs has wider potential than previously thought. BET inhibitors are currently being tested against blood cancers, but now researchers have found a new version of this drug that, in mouse test… Continue reading Experimental cancer drug appears more effective, less toxic than others
Brain cancers are particularly insidious for many reasons, not least of which is that the brain’s own defense mechanism often prevents treatment. But a new experimental technique has shown success in mice, with carbon nanoparticles able to sneak throug… Continue reading Cancer-killing nanoparticles don disguises to sneak into the brain
A new study is offering the most comprehensive real-world demonstration of how volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can spread throughout indoor environments from cigarette smokers’ clothing and bodies. Often referred to as third-hand smoke, the research … Continue reading New Yale study rekindles debate over dangers of third-hand smoke
Glioblastomas are highly aggressive brain tumors that are notoriously difficult to treat, with the cancer cells often slipping away from the main growth and into the brain, leading to high rates of recurrence down the track. In search of more effective… Continue reading Ebola virus gene helps hunt down deadly brain cancers
Galaxies are well studied, but far less is known about the vast stretches of space between them. Though it seems empty, the intergalactic medium (IGM) actually contains more matter than galaxies do – it’s just hard to see because it’s not shi… Continue reading Yale simulations probe the unstable recipe behind "intergalactic pancakes"
It’s still quite a mystery to scientists why certain drugs work well in some people and are completely ineffective in others. Work by a team of researchers from Yale University suggests a person’s unique gut bacteria population could affect h… Continue reading Yale study uncovers how gut bacteria can affect whether drugs work or not
“We have an idea of what a typical crab looks like—and these new fossils break all those rules.” Continue reading 90-Million-Year-Old ‘Chimera’ Crab Was An Animal Mashup
Yes, it’s the 100th edition of the “Smashing Security” podcast.
There’s a little celebration at both ends of this week’s podcast – but the meat of the sandwich is our normal look at the security stories of the last week – including an alarming IoT fail… Continue reading Smashing Security #100: One flippin’ hundred
Unless you are in the fields of robotics or prosthetics, you likely take for granted the fine motor skills our hands have. Picking up and using a pen is no small feat for a robot which doesn’t have a dedicated pen-grabbing apparatus. Holding a mobile phone with the same gripper is equally daunting, not to mention moving that phone around once it has been grasped. Part of the wonder of our hands is the shape and texture which allows pens and phones to slide around at one moment, and hold fast the next moment. Yale’s Grab Lab has built a …read more
