A unique protein designed by Cedars-Sinai Cancer investigators can cross the protective blood–brain barrier safely and deliver therapy directly into cancerous tumor cells, a preclinical study shows. The findings, which could help clinicians target brain tumors previously unreachable by chemotherapy, have been published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology. A unique protein designed by Cedars-Sinai Cancer investigators…

A team of astrophysicists, geoscientists, chemists and life scientists affiliated with a host of institutions in Japan has found evidence that billions of years ago, the Earth’s oceans were green. In their study published in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution, the group used a variety of environmental factors to create a simulation of Earth…

Unplanned oil supply outages caused by geopolitical instability, military conflicts, natural disasters and technical issues are throwing airline stock markets into chaos and making it more expensive to fly. Unplanned oil supply outages caused by geopolitical instability, military conflicts, natural disasters and technical issues are throwing airline stock markets into chaos and making it more expensive…

The sun periodically ejects huge bubbles of plasma from its surface that contain an intense magnetic field. These events are called coronal mass ejections, or CMEs. When two of these ejections collide, they can generate powerful geomagnetic storms that can lead to beautiful auroras but may disrupt satellites and GPS back on Earth. The sun periodically…

From the perspective of complex systems, a new study reveals the universality, specificity, and explanatory power of underlying rules governing urban system evolution. The paper is authored by an international team from the University of Hong Kong (HKU), Wuhan University and other institutions, titled “Underlying rules of evolutionary urban systems in Africa” in Nature Cities. From…
