Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) are crucial for fighting cancer, but many people with liver cancer (HCC) who have lots of these cells still face early relapse or resistance to treatments. Scientists don't fully understand why this happens. They studied 20 patients with liver cancer and CTLs to figure
Ever wondered how scientists are pushing the boundaries of biotin? Well, they've come up with something fascinating: biotin macrocycles! Let's dive into what that means. Imagine biotin, a vital nutrient, now in a much bigger form. Scientists have figured out how to make biotin cyclic, creating thes
In the south of China, there's a special place called Hechi. It's not just any city; it's known as "the world's longevity city. " Why? Because it has the highest number of centenarians in Guangxi Province, and Guangxi has one of the highest centenarian ratios in all of China. You might be thinking,

Rolling bearings play a crucial role in the safety and performance of rotating machines. While recent years have seen advances in intelligent fault diagnosis, noise in vibration signals remains a challenge. This is where GMSCNN comes in—a method that combines Gram Matrix (GM) and Multi-Scale Convolu
Ever wondered how to make machine tools work better? Researchers are using a special self-healing model to do just that. They're focusing on how the parts of a machine tool move together. By using something called the Lagrange method, they can create a model that shows how these parts interact. This
Imagine this: a web application that can predict if you're at risk for heart disease or high blood pressure, just by analyzing some data about you. That's exactly what a recent study introduced. Researchers created this tool using machine learning, a type of artificial intelligence, to help mine wor
