ET, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 2025 Newswise — MINNEAPOLIS — ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, can sometimes be difficult to diagnose or to predict how quickly the disease is likely to progress. A new study helps determine which blood tests are best at identifying and monitoring ALS. The study is…
Newswise — Paxlovid does not significantly reduce COVID-19 hospitalization and mortality among vaccinated older adults, according to new UCLA-led research. The study questions the assumption that Paxlovid’s effectiveness in reducing COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths in unvaccinated adults also applies to vaccinated adults. Pfizer’s 2022 clinical trial found reduced COVID-19 hospitalization in unvaccinated middle-aged adults; while…
Newswise — Researchers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have finally solved the mystery of how a massive galaxy cluster is forming stars at such a high rate. The confirmation from Webb builds on more than a decade of studies using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and Hubble Space Telescope, as well as several ground-based observatories. …

The Texas Department of State Health Services on Wednesday reported the…
Newswise — Durante décadas, los investigadores han explorado cómo almacenar datos en cristal debido a su potencial para conservar información durante mucho tiempo (mil millones de años) sin aplicar energía. Existe un tipo especial de cristal que cambia de color en diferentes longitudes de onda de luz, denominado cristal fotocromático, el cual promete brindar almacenamiento…
Newswise — HOUSTON ― Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have developed a novel antibody-toxin conjugate (ATC) designed to stimulate immune-mediated eradication of tumors. According to preclinical results published today in Nature Cancer, the new approach combined the benefits of more well-known antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) with those of immunotherapies. ADCs have…
At a glance: Researchers discovered the importance of an enzyme that promotes growth of certain lung cancers. The enzyme, GUK1, supports metabolism in cancer cells to help tumors grow. In the future, GUK1 could become a possible target for lung cancer therapies. Newswise — Lung cancer is a particularly challenging form of cancer. It often…
Newswise — NEWPORT NEWS, VA – More than 30 of the world’s most advanced particle accelerators for research are built on one technology: superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) technology. It’s typically powered by base components made of pure niobium metal, but recent advances have shown that parts coated with a niobium-tin alloy may allow for greater efficiency….
Newswise — MADISON — Solar and wind are quickly transforming the energy landscape — but if we are to realize the full potential of these intermittent, renewable energy sources, we’ll need safe, affordable batteries capable of storing it. As part of an effort to overcome the long-term energy-storage challenge, University of Wisconsin–Madison engineers have invented…
Newswise — A new rule by the Biden Administration would allow Wegovy and Ozempic to be covered by Medicare and Medicaid.
