Neurons that sense pain protect the gut from inflammation and associated tissue damage by regulating the microbial community living in the intestines, according to a new study.

Researchers discovered that the rheumatoid arthritis drug auranofin can potentially be repurposed to improve diabetes-associated symptoms.

A new deep-learning framework is speeding up the process of inspecting additively manufactured metal parts using X-ray computed tomography, or CT, while increasing the accuracy of the results. The reduced costs for time, labor, maintenance and energy a…

A new material is set to provide us with faster and higher resolution displays. Researchers explain what makes this material so special, opening the door to its application and further development.

In a good or a bad mood, focused or distracted, in dire or no need: our internal states directly influence our perceptions and decision-making. While the role of motivation on the performance of behavioral tasks has been known for more than a century -…

Vertebrate genomes are repositories for retrovirus code that was deposited into germ line as inherited endogenous retroviruses during evolution. Researchers now provide new findings about retroviral establishment and distribution among Darwin’s finches.

A study has determined the role that fibroblasts, the cells that contribute to tissue formation, play in a tumor’s ability to generate resistance to the most common biological treatment for HER2. The paper demonstrates the ability of a new therapy, cur…

Printing objects from plastic precisely, quickly, and inexpensively is the goal of many 3D printing processes. However, speed and high resolution remain a technological challenge. A research team has come a long way toward achieving this goal. It devel…
