Associate Professor Lucas Ferrari de Andrade | A New Antibody Helps Immune Cells Hold on to Tumours
Some cancer drugs work by tagging tumour cells, a bit like sticking a bright label on an intruder, so that the body’s natural killer cells can spot and destroy them. Cetuximab is one example of a drug that can tag cancer cells in this way. But there’s a catch. Natural killer cells grab those tags using a receptor on their surfaces called CD16a. When natural killer cells are activated, like when they meet a tagged tumour cell, an enzyme can cut CD16a away from the cell surface. The severed receptor is released into the bloodstream, leaving the cell unable to hold on to its target.
Professor Rong Wang – Mr. Wenhao Wang | Rethinking Higher Education Assessment: Agency and Integrity by Design
When generative AI arrived on campus, many universities rushed to install detection software. But at Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, Professor Rong Wang and Mr. Wenhao Wang saw an inspiring opportunity to put students back at the center of learning. They recognized that when complex assignments are finished with a single click, judging only the final product risks rewarding fluent outputs rather than genuine understanding. Students often feel attribution anxiety, wondering: “Did I truly learn this, or did the machine do it for me?”
Commandant Maksym V. Kiriakidi | How Crimea Became Russia’s Launchpad for Invasion
In February 2014, Russian forces occupied and then annexed Ukraine’s Autonomous Republic of Crimea. It was a rupture that, according to a new analysis by a team of Ukrainian researchers, did far more than redraw a map. The peninsula’s geography let Russia dominate a semi-enclosed sea whose only outlets, the Bosphorus and Dardanelles, are controlled by Turkey, while Soviet-era bases, airfields and warehouses gave the Russian navy a springboard for expansion.
Professor Megan Lancaster | How Genetics Could Predict Dangerous Heart Rhythms Early
Every heartbeat depends on a precise electrical handshake inside the heart muscle, resetting itself thousands of times a day without a second thought. In a condition called Long QT syndrome, that reset takes slightly too long, leaving the heart vulnerable to a dangerous rhythm disturbance that can strike without warning. For decades, doctors only recognised the condition after something went badly wrong: a fainting spell, a seizure, or a cardiac arrest. Genetic research led by Assistant Professor Megan Lancaster at The Ohio State University is helping to change that, catching risk before a crisis ever happens.
Gili Hammer | Inside Jaffa’s Multisensory Cultural Centre
Step through the doors of a cultural centre in Jaffa, Israel, and you enter a world built for every kind of body. The Center is a unique nonprofit cultural and arts center that serves as a meeting place where Deaf, blind, and deafblind people and the general public come together through shared cultural and artistic experiences. There is a coffee shop where deaf staff serve drinks ordered in sign language. There is a restaurant where meals are eaten in total darkness, guided by blind waiters. And there is a theatre where deaf, blind, deafblind, hearing, and seeing performers share the same stage.
Akira Ikemi | Focusing-Alpha: The Natural Process Behind Therapeutic Change
Have you ever tried to put a feeling into words, and found that the words you reached for were not quite right? Then, a few seconds later, a better description arrives, and suddenly it clicks: yes, that’s it. The philosopher and renowned psychotherapist Eugene Gendlin noticed his most successful therapy clients doing this all the time. They would go quiet, sit with something unclear, and slowly let the right words surface. Gendlin called this ‘focusing’.
Leni Schwendinger | Night for Day: How Designing the Dark Could Save Our Cities
Imagine stepping outside at midnight to visit a library, browse a street market, or catch an open-air concert in the park. This isn’t a scene from a science fiction film – it’s the future that nighttime designer Leni Schwendinger believes we urgently need to build.
Dr Yvonne Böttcher | How Different Types of Fat Shape Health and Disease
Our bodies store fat in different places. Subcutaneous fat sits just under the skin – this is the fat you can pinch. Visceral fat, by contrast, lies deeper in the abdomen and wraps around internal organs. Doctors have long observed that visceral fat is more strongly associated with conditions such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Research led by Yvonne Böttcher at the University of Oslo in Norway reveals a surprisingly complex picture that could help explain why some types of body fat are more strongly linked to disease.
IN THEIR OWN WORDS
What researchers gained from SciTube
“A team of speech therapists ... saw the video about my research online ... and contacted me regarding a collaborative project.”
“Our funders were also very pleased, commenting on how helpful and impactful the video was...”
“The video effectively communicates complex molecular biology to a general audience, garnering attention from scientists and students alike.”
“SciTube has helped us with one of our main commitments to our funding agency, in the popularisation of scientific results obtained using their funds.”
“I have circulated my animation to a few key colleagues already, and added it to my email signature and ResearchGate page”
“... the images and interpretation are of the highest quality. ... the collaborative process was unparalleled ...”
“I stepped back from my booth and watched how groups of people came to my booth watching at the movie explaining my work.”
“We have already featured our SciTube video on our website, shared it with customers, and presented it at a national conference.”
