Geneticists have developed a gene drive-based solution to the widespread problem of insecticide resistance. In an effort to protect valuable crops, the researchers created an 'e-Drive' that reverses insecticide resistance and then disappears from the insect population.
How Golgi stress affects T-cells’ tumor-fighting ability
Researchers investigating ways to reduce exhaustion in cancer-fighting T-cells found that the Golgi apparatus can be used as a simple marker -- more Golgi means a more robust cell.
Plasma-Derived Atomic Hydrogen Advances Low-Temperature CO2 Methanation at High Yield
Despite declining reserves and significant carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions contributing to climate change, fossil fuels continue to be the most widely used energy source globally.
A Hazy, Foggy Day in Italy’s Po Valley
The Po River Valley, one of Italy’s most densely populated regions, is home to over 16 million people. The valley is also one of the country’s foggiest and haziest regions.
Consortium Led by MIT, Harvard University, and Mass General Brigham Spurs Development of 408 MW of Renewable Energy
MIT is co-leading an effort to enable the development of two new large-scale renewable energy projects in regions with carbon-intensive electrical grids: Big Elm Solar in Bell County, Texas, came online this year, and the Bowman Wind Project in Bowman County, North Dakota, is expected to be operational in 2026.
Caste differentiation in ants
Scientists have revealed how a specific hormone regulates ant caste differentiation by phenotypic measurements of organ-level developmental changes and matching transcriptome analyses.
Probiotic may counteract fire-retardant chemical damage
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers, or PBDEs, are fire-retardant chemicals that are found everywhere. A mouse study reports that probiotic supplementation can reduce the negative impacts of PBDEs on neurodevelopment, behavior, and metabolism.
A groundbreaking new approach to treating chronic abdominal pain
A research team has developed a new class of oral peptide therapeutic leads for treating chronic abdominal pain. This groundbreaking innovation offers a safe, non-opioid-based solution for conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), which affect millions of people worldwide.
From food crops to cancer clinics: Lessons in extermination resistance
Researchers explore how established agricultural pest management strategies could be adapted to address cancer therapy. The pioneering method opens new possibilities for controlling drug resistance and improving patient survival.
Scientists find a region of the mouse gut tightly regulated by the immune system
Researchers have analyzed the entire mouse intestine, mapping gene expression and cell states and location in the healthy gut and in response to perturbations such as inflammation. They identified tight regulation of cell types and states in different regions of the organ, as well as a unique segment of the...
