Removing ‘invisibility cloaks’ and safely skipping chemo: new weapons in war on cancer shared at US conference | Cancer research

Published by Sam Flores

1. Smart drugs can help patients kill off their own tumours Immunotherapy drugs, which harness the body’s immune system to attack tumours, have revolutionised cancer treatment over the last decade. But they don’t work in every patient. Their effectiveness can falter or fail when cancer cells hide. Now researchers have developed a smart drug that stops cancer cells hiding. The experimental tablet, GRWD5769, can help shrink tumours by at least 30% in six of the world’s most common forms of the disease, delegates in Chicago were told. All of the patients in a trial spanning the UK, France, Spain and Australia had previously failed to respond to treatment. Most had no options left when they joined the study. Crucially, immunotherapy had not worked or had stopped working. The smart drug was able to remove “invisibility cloaks” from tumour cells, exposing them to the parts of the immune system that attack infections and diseases. This enabled an immunotherapy drug, cemiplimab, to detect and then destroy the cancer. Researchers led by the Christie NHS foundation trust in …

5 Windows background services you can safely disable right now

5 Windows background services you can safely disable right now

Published by skeptic

Windows runs hundreds of background services by default, and many of them continue to run even if you don’t use the features they’re tied to. Of course, some of these are important for keeping the OS stable. But then there are also others that simply waste memory, storage, bandwidth, and CPU resources without benefiting you in a meaningful way. The good thing is Windows lets you disable the services that you don’t want. For that, simply open the Windows Services app, double-click the service, and set the Startup type to Disabled. Then, hit Apply and you’re done. Related Windows was throttling my internet until I found these 5 settings Your internet might already be fast, Windows just isn’t letting it feel that way.

The kindness of strangers: A driver warned me I was being followed, then made sure I got home safely | Women

The Sydney suburb of Darlinghurst was not a safe place in the 1980s. There was this jittery vibe when the next heroin batch was coming in and people were overdosing like mad. But the area was also home to a scene of people who were into making little films or art and just going to the clubs in great clothes and dancing our butts off. I was one of them – 23, quite pretty and a hip underground darling. One night I was walking home from Oxford Street after clubbing. I was always wary of my surroundings, because you grew up very quickly living in that area. But it was a nice night for a walk so I went for it. I remember how dark it was; a slender moon offering little in the way of light. Not long after I set off I got the feeling someone was following me. I stopped, turned around but couldn’t see anyone. I continued walking, heard footsteps behind me and turned again. “Is anyone there?” I yelled out. …

Back from the moon: Artemis astronauts safely return to Earth

Back from the moon: Artemis astronauts safely return to Earth

Published by Sam Flores

After 9 days and 21 hours, NASA’s Artemis astronauts safely returned to Earth late Friday, April 10, splashing down in the ocean after completing the latest phase of the agency’s renewed push toward the moon. The crew traveled aboard the Orion capsule (that they dubbed “Integrity”), which reentered Earth’s atmosphere before deploying parachutes and landing in a designated recovery zone, where teams quickly moved in to retrieve both the spacecraft and its passengers. NASA confirmed the astronauts were in good condition following the landing. [NOTE: This video includes the complete reentry footage. The actual splashdown occurs at 1:39:30, and the astronauts begin disembarking from the helicopters onto the waiting aircraft carrier landing area at 3:35:56.] (NASA / Josh Valcarcel) NASA’s Artemis II mission concluded as the Orion capsule splashes down in the Pacific Ocean following a successful 10-day mission. The Artemis crew were part of some historic and memorable moments. They were the first crew to be the furthest from the Earth, breaking Apollo XIII’s record. They were also granted the honor of naming two moon …

In a breathtaking finale to one of the most ambitious missions in modern spaceflight, NASA’s Artemis II crew has safely returned to Earth, marking a triumphant end to their historic journey around the Moon. The Orion spacecraft carrying the four astronauts made a dramatic reentry through Earth’s atmosphere on Friday night, reaching staggering speeds of up to 25,000 miles per hour before plunging toward the Pacific Ocean. The capsule ultimately splashed down off the coast of San Diego, California, at precisely 8:07pm ET. © NASA via Getty ImagesNASA’s Orion spacecraft with Artemis II crewmembers is seen as it lands in the Pacific Ocean On board were NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover and Christina Koch, alongside Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen. Together, the four-person crew completed a landmark ten-day mission that carried them farther into space than any human has travelled before, looping around the Moon in a bold return to deep space exploration. As Orion reentered the atmosphere, it endured intense heat and pressure, its exterior glowing under the force of the fiery …

Bird Feeding Can Harm Some Species: 6 Ways To Do It Safely

Bird Feeding Can Harm Some Species: 6 Ways To Do It Safely

Published by Sam Flores

Birdfeeding feels like a pretty noble thing. The UK’s bird population has, after all, declined by almost a fifth since the ’70s, and it’s true that many sadly starve in the barren, colder months. But the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) said that birdfeeding isn’t as straightforwardly good for all species as you might hope. Following the results from this year’s The Big Garden Birdwatch, the charity saw that greenfinch populations seem to have declined by 67% since the programme began in 1979. They are now on the UK Red List in the Birds of Conservation Concern. One of the reasons could be partly influenced by your birdfeeders, they said. Why might bird feeders hurt some bird species? Greenfinch populations are shrinking for many reasons, but one of the biggest ones is trichomonosis, a disease that spreads easily from bird to bird at feeders. Speaking to HuffPost UK, an RSPB spokesperson said: “Our research shows that large numbers of birds congregating around feeders can increase the chances of disease transmission.” This is …
