Novel nanovaccine halts tumor growth and reduces cancer recurrence

National University of Singapore, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine

Researchers from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine) and National Center for Nanoscience and Technology, the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), have jointly developed an approach to significantly reduce the risk of cancer recurrence and metastasis after surgery, by targeting both bulk cancer cells and the elusive cancer stem cells (CSCs) responsible for relapse.

Medicaid eligibility leads to higher income

University of California - Berkeley

In 2014, 23 states expanded access to Medicaid. Income for newly eligible individuals in those states were compared to income for those who would have been expanded in the 10 states who chose not to expand access to Medicaid. “Gaining a better understanding of how increased access to Medicaid impacts individuals across a multitude of dimensions, including economic, is critical for the current political moment in which Medicaid funding faces substantial uncertainty,” said study co-author Becky Staiger, assistant professor of Health Policy and Management at UC Berkeley School of Public Health.

Compression using automatically differentiable tensor networks: Fewer parameters with equal or better performance

Intelligent Computing

In machine learning tasks for applications as diverse as facial recognition and movie recommendations, neural networks have been used extensively. To address the complexities of neural networks and issues such as overfitting, loss of generalization power, and excessive hardware cost, Qing et al. developed a general compression scheme based on automatically differentiable tensor networks that considerably reduces the number variational parameters needed while maintaining or improving the network’s performance. Their work was published on May 15, 2025, in an article titled “Compressing Neural Networks Using Tensor Networks with Exponentially Fewer Variational Parameters” in Intelligent Computing, a Science Partner Journal.

HKUMed study finds that fast walking can reduce lung cancer risk by 50%: A simple health indicator for cancer prevention

The University of Hong Kong

A research team in the Department of Pharmacology and Pharmacy at the LKS Faculty of Medicine of the University of Hong Kong (HKUMed), has conducted a pioneering study that found an association between walking speed and cancer risk. The researchers found that individuals who walk faster have a markedly lower overall risk of developing cancer, particularly lung cancer. This association was consistent regardless of whether walking speed was self-reported or objectively measured.

USTC certifies genuinely entangled subspaces of five qubit code via robust self-testing

University of Science and Technology of China

In a study published in Reports on Progress in Physics, research teams led by Academician GUO Guangcan and Prof. LIU Biheng from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, collaborating with Origin Quantum Computing Company Limited, achieved device-independent characterization of genuinely entangled subspaces (GESs) in both optical and superconducting quantum systems, completing the self-checking of the five-qubit error correction code space.
