Climate change drives more atmospheric methane than we thought
The Earth could be both delivering more, and removing less, methane into the air than previously estimated, with the result that more heat is being trapped in the atmosphere. [ + ]
Astrocytic urea cycle controls memory impairment in Alzheimer's
Researchers reveal the urea cycle in astrocytes as the link between amyloid-beta accumulation and memory loss, uncovering a therapeutic target to treat Alzheimer's. [ + ]
Fine-tuning CAR T cell therapy to reduce side effects
Researchers fine-tuned the cells used in immunotherapy so that their activity is strong enough to eliminate cancer but not so strong that they generate toxic side effects. [ + ]
