Resistant

Researchers have discovered that cerebrospinal fluid, the brain's shock absorber, may cause treatment resistance in people with brain cancer. But they identified a sixty-year-old drug that can be repurposed to resensitize cancer cells to treatment.

Researchers have, for the first time, observed a mechanism used by cancer cells to resist the effects of chemotherapy. The findings could be used to develop targeted drugs to help override it and make chemotherapy more effective.

Georgia Tech scientists have discovered a new quantum state in a quirky material. In a phenomenon never before seen in anything else, the team found that applying a magnetic field increased the material’s electrical conductivity by a billion percent.

Scientists have discovered a highly-promising new weapon that could help counter drug-resistant malaria, demonstrating how a compound can stealthily infiltrate the parasite and causes it to self-destruct.

A study is offering clues to the origins of a deadly fungal pathogen that mysteriously appeared in hospitals around the world 10 years ago. The study chronicles the discovery of the pathogen for the first time in a remote natural environment.

Cockroaches have been known to develop resistances to individual insecticides for decades, but new research has shown that they’re also able to rapidly develop cross-resistance, even to chemicals that they’ve never been directly exposed to.

A UK study has found that regular surfers were three times more likely to have an antibiotic resistant strain of E. coli bacteria in their gut than non-surfers, suggesting surfers are more likely to be at risk from these microorganisms.

Located on the corner of a small alley in Torigoe, Tokyo, one can find two shipping containers that appear to have been carelessly stacked on top of one another. On closer inspection, however, a large rear door opens to reveal a modern office and gallery space that stretches over two levels.

The "Parasols" in Seville, Spain, are held together by glue that can withstand temperatures up to 70°C.

Casio has extended its G-Shock shock-resistant brand to compact digital cameras with the release of the EX-G1 - a shock-resistant, waterproof, dustproof digital camera that claims the title of the world's slimmest shock resistant digital camera.

Canon’s new VB-C500VD vandal-resistant mini dome network camera is ideal where discreet high quality surveillance over a network is needed, and its wide angle lens means it’s ideal for positioning in tight places like ATMs, schools and malls.

Researchers are developing and testing a new type of blast-resistant glass embedded with glass fibers that will be thinner, lighter and less vulnerable to small-scale explosions than conventional blast-resistant glass.
