Maglev transport systems present an attractive option for the mobility mix. They're quick and quiet, and are low maintenance. But setup can be costly and complex. Italy's IronLev is looking to change that with a passive system that runs on regular rail tracks.IronLev was founded in 2017 as a joint venture between engineering innovation studio Girotto Brevetti and Ales Tech, a startup formed by university students who developed a suspension system for the SpaceX Hyperloop competition.Instead of using significant amounts of…

Scientists have discovered a revolutionary two-step method to halt and eliminate active cancer cells, focusing on basal-like breast cancer. This approach uses tool molecules to induce a pro-senescence state in cancer cells, making them vulnerable to new drug treatments and immune system detection.Researchers have found a way to stop active cancer cells in their tracks – meaning they can then be eliminated by new drug treatments.A collaborative research project between the University of Dundee’s Drug Discovery Unit (DDU)…

Tesla Cybertruck is often described as a tank, but it now literally comes a lot closer to one with these massive snow tracks. When Elon Musk first talked about the Cybertruck, he described it as an “armored personnel carrier from the future” and a “tank inspired by Blade Runner”. The stainless steel exterior does invoke a tank or armored vehicle. The only thing missing is tracks instead of wheels. A bunch of mechanics fixed that. Dave Sparks, better known as Heavy D Sparks, has unveiled a…

Researchers have identified growth regulators that trigger the proliferation of dormant leukemic stem cells in a specific type of acute myeloid leukemia, suggesting a possible approach to prevent relapse by using repurposed drugs. Credit: SciTechDaily.comThe discovery of two growth regulators involved in acute myeloid leukemia relapse offers hope for targeted therapies to prevent recurrence, emphasizing the need for further research to extend these findings to other leukemia subtypes.The mystery of why myeloid leukemias…

Researchers have developed a single-dose genetic therapy that can clear protein blockages that cause motor neurone disease, also called amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and frontotemporal dementia, two incurable neurodegenerative diseases that eventually lead to death.In healthy neurons, TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) is naturally produced and important for their healthy function. However, TDP-43 can be modified after synthesis, leading to its accumulation and aggregation in the wrong part of the cells, preventing them…

A study published in Nature Cancer provides new insights into the role of efferocytosis in pancreatic cancer’s spread to the liver, highlighting a potential therapeutic target to reduce tumor growth and restore immune function by inhibiting the immunosuppressive activity of macrophages. Credit: SciTechDaily.comNew research reveals targeting efferocytosis in pancreatic cancer could inhibit liver metastasis by countering macrophage-induced immunosuppression, providing a promising therapeutic avenue.A research paper…

Some intrepid fans have been able to reproduce the lost tracks from the BS F-Zero Grand Prix 2 Satellaview SoundLink event and have created BS F-Zero Deluxe, a patch to incorporate them into the SNES game. The Satellaview was a digital satellite delivery (or broadcast) add-on for the Super Famicom. Like many prototypical digital distribution platforms, data retrieved from the service was only stored temporarily and could be overwritten whenever you downloaded something else. As such, if someone wanted to preserve a game,…
