For the first time, scientists have used CRISPR technology to insert genes that allow immune cells to focus their attack on cancer cells, potentially leaving normal cells unharmed and increasing the effectiveness of immunotherapy.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States and around the world. Lowering high blood pressure and cholesterol could help to reduce morbidity and mortality, but frequent in-person visits to measure and manage these readouts can be a burden for patients.

The costliness of drug development and the limitations of studying physiological processes in the lab are two separate scientific issues that may share the same solution.

New research has revealed elevated risks of death during the COVID-19 pandemic for both COVID-19–positive and other patients on hemodialysis compared with hemodialysis patients treated in 2019. The findings will be presented at ASN Kidney Week 2022 November 3–November 6.

For some individuals with advanced kidney disease, dialysis may not be the optimal treatment strategy for their condition, and these patients may be better served with conservative non-dialytic management that focuses on quality of life and symptom control.

A new article describes an overview of the evolving domain of two-dimensional (2D) ferroelectric materials with layered van-der-Waals (vdW) crystal structures.

A new study from North Carolina State University shows that exposure in utero to the flame retardant FireMaster 550 (FM 550), or to its individual brominated (BFR) or organophosphate ester (OPFR) components, resulted in altered brain development in newborn rats.

Scientists have engineered an advanced walking robot that could transform huge construction ventures in space. They tested the viability of the robot to carry out the in-space setting up of a 25-m Large Aperture Space Telescope (LAST).

A study at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden shows that the coronavirus variant BA.2.75.2, an Omicron sublineage, largely evades neutralizing antibodies in the blood and is resistant to several monoclonal antibody antiviral treatments.

A succession of buzzing, bee-like “loop-currents” could illustrate a newly discovered, unparalleled occurrence in a specific type of quantum material.
