The moons were first spotted about a year ago as astronomers searched the skies for the hypothetical "Planet Nine" - a giant planet believe to be responsible for gravitational abnormalities in the Kuiper Belt. "We were able to observe around Jupiter at the same time we were looking beyond Pluto," said lead astronomer Scott S. Sheppard, who described the find as "serendipity." The Details The new moons were first spotted by astronomers using the Blanco telescope in Chile and the Subaru telescope in Hawaii. The moons appeared so faint that it took nearly a year to verify the discovery. Astronomers now believe there are about 80 moons orbiting Jupiter, but the exact number remains impossible to determine. "It takes several observations to confirm an object actually orbits around Jupiter," said Gareth Williams, the astronomer who calculated the moons' orbits. "There are still a few [moons] out there that are missing. They'll turn up, I'm sure." Nine of the newly-discovered moons follow an orbit opposite that of Jupiter's spin, while the other two move in the same direction as the planet. Dr. Sheppard believes the nine retrograde moons could be "the last building blocks of the solar system that never got swept up and incorporated into the planets."

Oxidative stress can lead to cellular aging and cell death. Cancer cells have a higher resistance to oxidative stress than normal cells. This allows them to sustain accelerated growth and spread throughout the body. A team of researchers in Augusta, Georgia is using a combination of immunotherapy and chemotherapy to induce high levels of oxidative stress that essentially cause cancerous tumor cells to explode. The Details According to results published last month in the journal Cell Metabolism, the experimental treatment has been effective in reducing tumors in mice models of colorectal cancer, breast cancer, and lymphoma. "We started by asking questions about how immunotherapy can change the metabolism of tumor cells," says lead researcher Dr. Gang Zhou. "Our studies show" that "tumor necrosis factor alpha can act directly on tumor cells and induce [oxidative stress] inside them." Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) is a type of protein known to stunt the growth of tumors by cutting off their blood supply. In this case, TNFα was also observed to induce high levels of oxidative stress. In conclusion, Zhou's team suggested that future studies be focused on improving our understanding of T cells and increasing immunotherapy's potential to destroy cancer cells.
