Scientists discovered that building a healthy brain involves an unexpected step: young neurons routinely break and rapidly repair their own DNA. As the brain develops, newly formed nerve cells must travel through tightly packed tissue to reach the locations where they will become part of the brain’s neural networks. That demanding journey turns out to […]

Endless Supply of Cancer-Fighting Immune Cells Unlocked by USC Scientists
Researchers have developed a way to grow and genetically engineer progenitor cells that produce macrophages, first responder immune cells with potential for new immunotherapies against cancer and other diseases. Macrophages look almost built for the hardest parts of cancer therapy. They can push into tumors, swallow dangerous cells, and help alert the wider immune system. […]
A Simple Twist Gives Scientists New Control Over Quantum Light
A simple twist of ultra-thin material gave scientists surprising control over quantum light, bringing future quantum technologies closer to reality. University of Technology Sydney researchers have discovered a new way to control tiny quantum light sources by twisting ultra-thin layers of hexagonal boron nitride, a breakthrough that could help move quantum technologies closer to real-world […]
