A newly identified inflammatory signaling target may help weaken the protective environment surrounding pancreatic tumors and make existing treatments more effective. Pancreatic tumors are not made up of cancer cells alone. They are surrounded by scar-like tissue, immune cells, and support cells that can shield the disease from treatment. A new study suggests that disrupting [...]

Scientists believe an unusual LIGO detection may be evidence of a primordial black hole, potentially linking these long-theorized objects to the mystery of dark matter. Scientists at the University of Miami believe they may be closing in on evidence for one of the most elusive objects in the universe: primordial black holes. While definitive proof [...]

Scientists have uncovered evidence that tiny microbes living inside fish may be helping shape the chemistry of the world’s oceans. The new study, led by former graduate student Anthony Bonacolta at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science, suggests that bacteria in fish intestines may work together with their hosts [...]
