News at a glance: Global coral bleaching, preventing ship strikes on whales, and detecting prostate cancer
CLIMATE SCIENCE
Hot oceans prompt world’s worst coral bleaching
Coral reefs are on track for unprecedented damage from oceans that overheated during the past year, prompting government scientists to declare a global bleaching event for the fourth time in the past 25 years.
At least 54% of the world’s reefs, in 53 countries, have been hit by bleaching
since 2023, the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the International Coral Reef Initiative announced on 15 April. Bleaching occurs when overheated coral polyps expel the symbiotic algae living inside them; it leaves c...

Advance in immune cell screening uncovers receptors that target prostate cancer
This study validated the ability for nanovials to find T cells, and their receptors, that react to viruses.A second experiment with a different patient applied the technology to a much more challenging problem: rare prostate cancer targets the scientists had identified in previous studies. Importantly, those molecular targets acted to both capture the T cells and cause them to secrete certain molecules that kill target cells. In other experiments, the nanovials also had molecules allowing each to capture more than one type of immune-activating secretion.CNSI at UCLAA closer look at UCLA-developed nanovials, which are hydro...
