A team from Osaka University has developed scSPOT, a new technique that reveals how immune cells called Tregs simultaneously control the immune system. The team identified key immune cells controlled by Tregs and found that Tregs are targets for the cancer drugs ipilimumab and tazemetostat. They also found that Tregs are indicators of serious viral infection. This valuable technique may accelerate the development of treatments for cancer and other diseases.

Professor Ma's team at Harbin Institute of Technology has recently achieved a breakthrough in the field of gas temperature detection. For the first time, they proposed a calibration-free temperature detection method based on light-induced thermoelastic spectroscopy (LITES) technology. This technique leverages the steady-state and transient response characteristics of a quartz tuning fork (QTF) to achieve rapid and highly stable temperature measurements in complex environments, providing a new solution for combustion diagnostics. The related results, titled "High stability and fast calibration-free temperature measurement based on light-induced thermoelastic spectroscopy," were recently published in Ultrafast Science.

Accumulation of fat molecules is detrimental to the cell. Researchers from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine), have made a breakthrough in understanding how our cells manage to stay healthy by recycling important fat molecules. Their study, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), reveals how a protein called Spinster homolog 1 (Spns1) helps transport fats out of cell compartments known as lysosomes.

Research team led by Chuliang Weng introduces D2-GCN, a groundbreaking disentangled graph convolutional network that dynamically adjusts feature channels for enhanced node representation, outperforming traditional methods in node classification tasks.

A groundbreaking study led by USC Assistant Professor of Computer Science Ruishan Liu has uncovered how specific genetic mutations influence cancer treatment outcomes—insights that could help doctors tailor treatments more effectively. The largest study of its kind, the research analyzed data for more than 78,000 cancer patients across 20 cancer types. Patients received immunotherapies, chemotherapies and targeted therapies.

Certain groups of consumers appear to be open to drinking smoke-impacted wines, a finding in a new study that could provide market opportunities for winemakers increasingly dealing with the effects of wildfire smoke on grapes.
