Breakthrough stem cell therapy could provide permanent cancer immunity

Breakthrough stem cell therapy could provide permanent cancer immunity

Cancer scientists have been working against the clock for decades to outsmart a disease that comes back more powerfully after treatment. Traditional treatments like chemotherapy, radiation, and even newer forms of immunotherapy seem to score an initial victory only to see the cancer reappear some months later. The culprit is often the same: the immune system’s most powerful cancer-killing fighters, …

How Much Does a Single Cell Weigh? The Brilliant Physics Trick of Weighing Something Less Than a Trillionth of a Gram

How Much Does a Single Cell Weigh? The Brilliant Physics Trick of Weighing Something Less Than a Trillionth of a Gram

AI-generated image. Credit: Midjourney/ZME Science. How much does life weigh? It sounds like a strange question, but to biologists it makes all the sense in the world. Yeast cells tip the scales at about 100 picograms each. A single E. coli bacterium weighs only one picogram, about 60 million times lighter than a grain of sand. That such a measurement …
