UrduMount Sinai researchers have published results that show encouraging therapeutic options for patients with the blood cancer multiple myeloma after first-line treatment with bispecific antibodies fails. Bispecific antibodies are a type of antibody that can bind to two different antigens at the same time—they are meant to enhance the immune system’s destruction of tumor cells.

New Therapeutics Could Help Treat Excess Urine in the Kidneys
Rockville, Md. (September 1, 2022)—Physiologists at the University of Nevada, Reno have identified two ion channels necessary for urine to flow from the kidneys to the ureters. A calcium-activated chloride channel and a voltage-dependent calcium channel are required for contractions…
VLBA produce primera imagen tridimensional completa de sistema estelar binario con planeta
Al observar el bamboleo casi imperceptible de una estrella cercana mientras se desplazaba por el espacio, un equipo de astrónomos y astrónomas descubrió un planeta similar a Júpiter orbitando alrededor del astro, que forma parte de un sistema binario. La investigación, realizada con el Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA), permitió determinar por primera vez la estructura tridimensional completa de las órbitas de un sistema estelar binario acompañado por un planeta.

VLBA Produces First Full 3-D View of Binary Star-Planet System
Astronomers using the VLBA have produced the first-ever full, 3-D view of binary star system with a planet orbiting one of the stars. Their achievement promises important new insights into the process of planet formation.
Doctors Find Genetic Reasons for the Assimilation of Cystic Fibrosis Therapy
RUDN doctors in collaboration with the Research Centre for Medical Genetics found genetic factors that can affect the absorption of an antimicrobial drug prescribed for cystic fibrosis in children. Ciprofloxacin is widely used to treat even the smallest patients. New data will help develop a more accurate protocol for the treatment of cystic fibrosis in children.
RUDN Scientists Describe Biopolymers Structure in Nano Medication with Different Supplements
Bionanotechnologists proved that adding excipients to biopolymers, which are used in medicine as new dosage forms, can change its crystallinity and physical characteristics. Results indicate the possibility of regulating the resilience to biodegradation. For instance, when controlling the release of medicine from biopolymer composite.

Scientists Named the Sources of Space Debris in Low Earth Orbits
RUDN engineers analyzed reasons for space debris creation in near-Earth space over past 10 years. The amount of space debris continues to grow. It turned out that the reason for this is increased number of smallsat launches.
Researchers Explore Role of Plasma Membrane Pump in Calcium Signaling
Rockville, Md. (September 1, 2022)—Research published ahead of print in the journal Function suggests the plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPase (PMCA) pump helps regulate cytosolic calcium signaling. Cytosolic calcium is found within the cells’ intracellular fluid—the cytosol is one such liquid—and…

Female Managers Pay Fairer
There are two levels of reference for the elementary question of an appropriate remuneration of work: the markets with their structure of supply, demand, and productivity as well as the needs of the employees. Operationally decisive, however, is also what managers are guided by when assessing wages. A study recently published in PLOS ONE by researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) provides new insights into this issue.
A self-learning algorithm that helps save heating energy
With energy prices soaring, heating costs will also inevitably rise in the coming winter. In order to mitigate this, solutions for operating buildings more efficiently are needed. The Empa spin-off viboo has developed an algorithm that makes it possible to operate even older buildings with around 25 percent less energy – while user comfort remains the same or even improves.
