Researchers have developed new software that integrates a variety of information from a single cell, allowing researchers to see how one change in a cell can lead to several others and providing important clues for pinpointing the exact causes of genet…
When it comes to kitchen spills, paper towels and rags do the job. But using a hydrogel — a gelatin-like material in the form of a dry sheet — researchers have crafted a better picker-upper that absorbs and holds about three times more water-based li…
Glioblastoma is a deadly brain cancer with a grim prognosis. Unlike most cancers, it still grows in the presence of the P53 protein. For decades, scientists have been unable to crack the case . . . until now. Scientists have discovered a protein known …
Researchers have revealed a brain mechanism that mice use to instinctively escape to shelter when faced with a threat. This is the first time that neuroscientists have been able to find such a clear link between spatial goals and actions.
Senescent cells, which emerge after tissue injury, create an aged-like inflamed microenvironment that is negative for stem cell function and tissue repair. The finding provides a basis for mitigating the loss of muscle regenerative capacity in elderly …
Kickstarting the brain’s natural ability to adjust to new circumstances, or neuroplasticity, improves how effectively a cochlear implant can restore hearing loss, a new study in deaf rats shows. The investigation, researchers say, may help explain the …
Damage to the paternal genome of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans cannot be repaired and is instead passed on to its offspring, while the female egg repairs or limits the damage.
Evolutionary pressure across male mammals to guarantee the procreation of their own offspring led to a rapid evolution of the testicle. Bioinformatic studies show that this pressure particularly accelerated the evolution of later stages of sperm format…
Researchers have genetically profiled nearly 200,000 cells from lungs, mapping their precise locations in tissue to discover an unexpected new immune niche in our airways
New research shows that disproportionately large amounts of carbon accumulate at the bottom of deep-sea trenches. The trenches may thus play an important role for deep-sea storage of organic material — and thus for the atmospheric Co2 balance.
Research has identified key characteristics and practices of expert teachers.
Researchers found that after multiple hybridization events between two wood ant species distinct hybrid populations evolved independently towards the same direction, suggesting hybridization is predictable.
New research reveals how microorganisms in our guts can worsen dangerous C. difficile infections. The discovery could help doctors identify patients at risk for severe illness and open the door to new treatments.
Making an intentional effort to recognize positive life events and achievements while gathering for food and drink will leave you feeling more socially supported, new research shows.
Rising to meet the formidable challenge of the timely diagnosis of dementia, research scientists are conducting the Digital Detection of Dementia study, a real-world evaluation of the use of an artificial intelligence (AI) tool they developed for early…
Since 1931, researchers have been investigating the therapeutic effects of Japanese hot springs, also known as ‘onsen.’ In 2011, the hospital conducted a massive survey of Beppu residents over 65 on their ‘onsen’ habits and health. One result they foun…
A new pathway to creating durable, efficient perovskite photovoltaics at industrial scale has been demonstrated through the first effective use of lead acetate as a precursor in making formamidinium-caesium perovskite solar cells.
Researchers have used artificial DNA to target and kill cancer cells in a completely new way. The method was effective in lab tests against human cervical cancer- and breast cancer-derived cells, and against malignant melanoma cells from mice. The team…
Researchers developed a cheap and simple process to create nanoscale structures on the surface of galvanized steel, which is commonly used in the automotive industry, that provided a more conducive interface for attaching injection-molded polymers. Thi…
An international team of researchers has mapped out the values and benefits of elephants to help overcome conservation challenges and conflict.
