Cancer cells are chameleons. They completely change their metabolism to grow continuously. University of Basel scientists have discovered that high levels of the amino acid arginine drive metabolic reprogramming to promote tumor growth. This study suggests new avenues to improve liver cancer treatment. The liver is a vital organ with many important functions in the body. It metabolizes nutrients, stores energy, regulates the blood sugar level and plays a crucial role in detoxifying and removing harmful components and drugs.

4:33PM, 12 September 2023 PSA members working for Corrections have overwhelming rejected the Department's offer to settle the Prisons' Collective Agreement. PSA Lead Organiser Stella Teariki says 97% of members who attended ratification meetings had voted against the employer's offer, which means the bargaining process will head into mediation on Wednesday (September 13). There are four main objections to the Department's offer: - the offer of a pay increase is too low; - the issue of pay for weekend and night work is not adequately addressed; - staff working in prisons need more than the statutory 10-days sick leave; and - recognition of the extra training Corrections Officers does not happen quickly enough.

American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Despite the importance of wood fibers to meet the growing demand for renewable tissue, paper, packaging, textile, and other fiber products, wood fiber production has been less efficient and productive than researchers have hoped. Now, CRISPR editing has enabled scientists to design wood in which lignin – which must be cleaved and dissolved so fiber production can take place – is more suitable for fiber production. "The edited wood alleviates a major fiber-production bottleneck … and could bring unprecedented operational efficiencies, bioeconomic opportunities, and environmental benefits," say the study's authors.

Our ongoing endeavor to venture into outer space demands substantial technological advances across various fields, including materials science. Materials used in the aerospace industry must be lightweight yet mechanically resistant, a combination that is difficult to achieve. Fortunately, metal matrix composites have come a long way since their inception in the twentieth century, and many experts believe that they will be key to near-future space applications. One of the most promising types of metal matrix composites are aluminum matrix composites (AMCs) reinforced with high-entropy alloy particles (HEA p s), which can endow AMCs with superior mechanical properties, including high strength, durability, and plasticity.
