Researchers have succeeded in eliminating most of the myeloma cells in the bone marrow using an RNA-based drug

Thanks to the nanoparticle system they developed - the cancer cell stops dividing and dies

Does the tan come in a delay? Say thank you

Revealing the mechanism that delays the appearance of tanning could help create treatments that will protect us from skin cancer

Figure 1 - Right: experimental measurements of the two-crack experiment and measured Boehm trajectories (black bars). The realization of the cracks is done in the time domain, by creating two pulses of surface gravity waves, at times (t=-4, +4 sec). You can see the development of the Boehm trajectories along the wave pool (X axis). There are areas that no route crosses, and the wave strength measured in them will be zero. The reason for this is that a destructive conflict is created in these areas. In contrast, there are areas where there is a high density of Boehm orbits, and where the wave power is maximum (as a result of constructive interference). Figure 2 - Left: shows the quantum potential. The wave moves only in the 'valleys' (meaning areas where the potential is low) and does not reach the 'mountains' (meaning areas where the potential is high).

Researchers first measured the Bohm orbits and the quantum potential in a classical system

In doing so, the researchers confirmed scientific phenomena that had so far only been predicted theoretically

Researchers have succeeded in deciphering the movement mechanism of the plant hormone gibberellin, which is of great importance to humanity

According to the researchers, it is a hormone, a small signal molecule, which controls the growth of plants. The decoding may help a lot in expanding agricultural crops and dealing with the global food crisis
