Birth of a black hole or neutron star captured for first time

After combining several imaging sources, including hard X-rays and radiowaves, a team now speculates that the telescopes captured the exact moment a star collapsed to form a compact object, such as a black hole or neutron star. The stellar debris, approaching and swirling around the object's event horizon, caused The Cow's remarkably bright glow. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190110184740.htm

AI approach outperformed human experts in identifying cervical precancer

A research team has developed a computer algorithm that can analyze digital images of a woman's cervix and accurately identify precancerous changes that require medical attention. This artificial intelligence (AI) approach, called automated visual evaluation, has the potential to revolutionize cervical cancer screening, particularly in low-resource settings. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190110164701.htm

Astronomers find signatures of a 'messy' star that made its companion go supernova

Astronomers announced that they have identified the type of companion star that made its partner in a binary system, a carbon-oxygen white dwarf star, explode. Through repeated observations of SN 2015cp, a supernova 545 million light years away, the team detected hydrogen-rich debris that the companion star had shed prior to the explosion. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190110160935.htm

Bioinspired nanoscale drug delivery method

Uncovering more options in cancer immunotherapy

If scientists want to boost immune cells' ability to kill cancer cells, then vast libraries of small molecules are potentially available. A new paper shows a platform to sort through them, plus validation. One of the hits: IAP antagonist birinapant, which is already in clinical trials (coincidentally). from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190110113002.htm

Giving Cas9 an 'on' switch for better control of CRISPR gene editing

Scientists have created an 'on' switch for CRISPR-Cas9 that allows it to be turned on in select cells only, specifically those that have a particular protein-cutting enzyme, or protease. Viruses produce such proteases, as do cancer cells, so the Cas9 variants -- called ProCas9 -- could be used as sensors for viral infections or cancer. The variants were discovered by circular permutations on wild-type Cas9 designed to produce a stripped-down Cas9 tuned to human cells. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190110112959.htm

Chirality in 'real-time'

Distinguishing between left-handed and right-handed ('chiral') molecules is crucial in chemistry and the life sciences, and is commonly done using a method called circular dichroism. However, during biochemical reactions the chiral character of molecules may change. Scientists have for the first time developed a method that uses ultrashort deep-ultraviolet pulses to accurately probe such changes in real-time in (bio)molecular systems. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190110112951.htm

New dynamic probes for ions interacting with biomolecules

Pairs of negatively charged phosphate groups and positive magnesium ions represent a key structural feature of DNA and RNA embedded in water.

Experimental antibody 'cocktail' protects animals from three deadly Ebola viruses

Scientists have developed a combination of monoclonal antibodies that protected animals from all three Ebola viruses that cause human disease.

Rice plants engineered to be better at photosynthesis make more rice

A new bioengineering approach for boosting photosynthesis in rice plants could increase grain yield by up to 27 percent, according to a new study. The approach, called GOC bypass, enriches plant cells with CO2 that would otherwise be lost through a metabolic process called photorespiration. The genetically engineered plants were greener and larger and showed increased photosynthetic efficiency and productivity under field conditions, with particular advantages in bright light. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190110141814.htm
