Common respiratory illnesses such as COVID-19 or flu can awaken dormant cancer cells in mice by releasing an immune molecule called interleukin-6. This release activates cells that have detached and hidden in tissues, particularly in the lungs after treatment. Although these infections do not directly cause cancer, they enhance the likelihood of a future resurgence of the disease. In separate advancements, physicists have utilized a miniature neutrino detector, CONUS+, to capture neutrinos from a nuclear reactor, marking progress in detecting these elusive particles.
Common respiratory illnesses such as COVID-19 or flu can awaken dormant cancer cells in mice, where immune molecule interleukin-6 is released and activates these hidden cells.
Researchers have captured neutrinos from a nuclear reactor using a miniature detector, called CONUS+, weighing just a few kilograms, marking a breakthrough in particle detection.
The new neutrino detector has recorded around 395 collision events in 119 days, potentially leading to new stress tests for known physics laws.
NASA's partnership with the Indian Space Research Organisation has yielded a high-resolution satellite, NISAR, aimed at mapping Earth’s surface changes with unprecedented detail.
