Why the number 137 is one of the greatest mysteries in physics
Posted by Genevieve Klien in categories: information science, mathematics, particle physics
The constant figures in other situations, making physicists wonder why. Why does nature insist on this number? It has appeared in various calculations in physics since the 1880s, spurring numerous attempts to come up with a Grand Unified Theory that would incorporate the constant since. So far no single explanation took hold. Recent research also introduced the possibility that the constant has actually increased over the last six billion years, even though slightly. If you’d like to know the math behind fine structure constant more specifically, the way you arrive at alpha is by putting the 3 constants h, c, and e together in the equation — As the units c, e, and h cancel each other out, the.

Neutralizing RNS May Improve Immunotherapy Outcomes
Posted by Nicola Bagalà in category: biotech/medical
Neutralising reactive nitrogen species to make immunotherapy more effective.
Researchers at the University of Notre Dame discovered that amino acid nitration can inhibit the activation of T cells employed in immunotherapy against cancer and that suppression of reactive nitrogen species (RNS) responsible for nitration can significantly boost the effectiveness of immunotherapy [1].
Abstract

Cellular kill code discovery may help extinguish cancers
Posted by Genevieve Klien in category: biotech/medical
Research has discovered that inside every cell in the human body is a kill code designed to trigger self-destruction if it senses a cell is turning cancerous. Across two studies the scientists homed in on the code underlying this mechanism and believe it may lead to a new kind of cancer treatment.
