Nasa Captures Stunning Image of Dwarf Galaxy Undergoing Ram Pressure Nasa astronomers have used the Hubble Space Telescope to capture a breathtaking image of galaxy LEDA 42160, located an impressive 52 million light-years away in the Virgo constellation. The dwarf galaxy is currently experiencing ram pressure within the Virgo cluster of galaxies, an astronomical phenomenon that has captured the attention of scientists. Ram pressure stripping is a process in which galaxies moving through a cluster of galaxies experience a “wind” that can both hinder and boost star formation. In the case of LEDA 42160, this stripping process has been driving…

Preliminary experiments have shown promising results, with some patients experiencing temporary shrinkage of their tumors. This new strategy, known as CAR-T therapy, has already been successfully utilized in blood-related cancers and is now being adapted for solid tumors like glioblastoma. Teams of researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital and the University of Pennsylvania are at the…
