An interdisciplinary team of researchers from the University of Illinois has discovered a potential new treatment option for drug-resistant breast cancer. Their findings, published in Breast Cancer Research and Treatment, demonstrates the role of activators of ferroptosis in overcoming acquired resistance to FOXM1 inhibitors.
Virtual reality training for physicians aims to heal disparities in Black maternal health care
Researchers at the University of Illinois have identified a way to use defect engineering to boost catalytic efficiency for electrolyzers, taking science one step closer to sustainable production of green hydrogen.
Studying how nano-sized bits of light-absorbing gold transfer electrons to titania, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and their collaborators reveal new details about the mechanics of plasmon-mediated charge transfer, which could lead to more efficient photovoltaic and photocatalytic devices.
Newly published research details the development of an easy-to-use intuitive tool that can predict without lengthy experimentation and calculation the reactivity of C-C bonds when designing mechanophores, which could lead to the discovery of new mechanically responsive materials.
Researchers from the University of Illinois have demonstrated the importance of cell-type-specific targeting in the treatment of HIV. Their study, published in PNAS, is one of the first to examine the differential or cell-type specific effects of HIV latency modulation on myeloid cells, a type of immune cell made in bone marrow.
Fragile X syndrome is one of the most commonly inherited forms of autism and intellectual disability, and no treatment currently exists. But a team of University of Illinois researchers has discovered a novel receptor function that may be used in a therapeutic approach to treatment.
Chemists at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have published a paper on research that provides new details about the mechanism behind nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions and the surprising discovery that acetonitrile and other alkyl nitriles boost product yield, which could benefit a whole range of these increasingly popular chemical transformations.
University of Illinois researchers report in Nature that they have used machine learning to identify how to get antibacterial drugs through the nearly impenetrable outer membrane of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a bacterium that is notoriously difficult to treat.
The American Ornithological Society recently announced that it will change all English language common names of birds that honor people, to avoid recognizing historical figures with ties to slavery, racism, and colonialism. Historian David Sepkoski, who studies the history of biological and environmental sciences, answers questions about this change in the naming convention.
The American Ornithological Society recently announced that it will change all English language common names of birds that honor people, to avoid recognizing figures with ties to slavery, racism, and colonialism. Historian David Sepkoski, who studies the history of biological and environmental sciences, answers a few questions about this change in the naming convention for birds.
A team led by a University of Illinois chemistry professor recently created copper molecules that can transfer electrons at least an order of magnitude faster than previously reported. Finding faster, more efficient ways to transfer electrons between synthetically made molecules could lead to more efficient energy conversion technology, like solar panels.
Researchers report that a single, simplified model can predict population fluctuations in three realms: urban employment, human gut microbiomes, and tropical forests.
