Scientists hypothesize that circadian rhythm disruption is a psychopathology factor shared by a broad range of mental illnesses and that research into its molecular foundation could be key to unlocking better therapies and treatments.
The greatest diversity of life is not counted in the number of species, says an evolutionary geneticist, but in the diversity of interactions among them. He says it’s often unclear if the outcome of an interaction, such as whether a microbe can infect …
Scientists have discovered how some cancer cells survive treatment and cause cancer to recur, along with a potential way to stop the process.
A new methodology predicts disease transmission from wildlife to humans, from one wildlife species to another and determines who is at risk of infection.
High levels of hydroxyl radicals (OH) can be generated indoors, simply due to the presence of people and ozone.
Researchers have examined how social and economic factors, such as level of education and general knowledge of Ebola, might contribute to ‘high-risk behaviors’ that may bring individuals into contact with potentially infected animals. A focus on geogra…
Astronomers using the VLBA have produced a full, 3-D view of a binary star system with a planet orbiting one of the stars. Their achievement promises important new insights into the process of planet formation.
Scientists have managed to generate a new type of human cell in the lab using stem cells. The new cells closely resemble their natural counterparts in early human embryos. As a result, researchers can now better study what happens just after an embryo …
A market-led approach could be key to guiding policy, research and business decisions about future climate risks, a new study outlines. Now that organizations appreciate how essential it is to consider climate risks within their strategic plans, the pr…
About 30,000 cases of lung cancer occur in Spain each year. Mutations in KRAS oncogenes account for 10-15% of these cases, a subgroup against which there are still no effective therapies. Researchers have succeeded in determining the structure of the R…
