- Thwarting Metastasis by Breaking Cancer’s Legs - Cancer cells often cover themselves with bristly leg-like protrusions that enable them to move. Researchers used gold rods heated gently by a laser to mangle the protrusions in lab cultures , preventing cell migration, a key mechanism in metastasis. http://www.news.gatech.edu/2017/06/26/thwarting-metastasis-breaking-cancers-legs-gold-rods 11 comments science
- A phase I clinical trial finds that influenza vaccination using Band-Aid-like patches with dissolvable microneedles is safe and well-tolerated by study participants. The patches were as effective in generating immunity against influenza, and were strongly preferred over vaccination with a needle. http://www.news.gatech.edu/2017/06/26/microneedle-patches-flu-vaccination-successful-first-human-clinical-trial 6 comments science
- The magnetosphere of Uranus gets flipped on and off like a light switch every day as it rotates along with the planet. It’s ‘open’ in one orientation, allowing solar wind to flow into the magnetosphere; it later closes, forming a shield against the solar wind and deflecting it away from the planet. http://www.news.gatech.edu/2017/06/26/topsy-turvy-motion-creates-light-switch-effect-uranus 12 comments space
