For the first time, scientists have incorporated the diel cycle into a global ocean model in order to investigate its effects on phytoplankton. Their study investigates how the day/night cycle affects the biogeography and diversity of these primary pro…

Research reports on a pathway that begins in the gut and ends with a potent pro-inflammatory toxin in brain cells contributing to the development of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). They also report a potentially simple way to prevent it.

A possible way to tackle one of the underlying causes of asthma has been developed. In tests in mice, the researchers were able to virtually eliminate asthmatic symptoms within two weeks and return their airways to near normal.

In the pursuit of accurate diagnoses for illnesses, doctors have traditionally used multiple methods — including culturing patient samples on a wide variety of media, reviewing countless medical records and analyzing clinical data using complex mathem…

Researchers successfully captured CT images of an entire woolly mammoth tusk. Researchers were able to do a full scan of the tusk in its entirety — or in toto — using a newer clinical CT scanner. The new technology allows for large-scale imaging with…

Banana peels aren’t always destined for the trash or compost anymore. They’re making their way onto people’s plates, replacing pork in ‘pulled peel’ sandwiches and getting fried up into ‘bacon.’ And now, researchers show that incorporating banana peel …

Scientists have developed a new mathematical model that may help clinicians decide on the best combination of osteoporosis medications for patients and the order in which they should be taken.

Using new simulations, astrophysicists discovered that star formation is a self-regulatory process. In other words, stars themselves set their own masses. This helps explain why stars formed in disparate environments still have similar masses.

Scientists describe the development of a type of wearable human-machine interface device that is stretchable, inexpensive, and waterproof. The device is based on a soft magnetoelastic sensor array that converts mechanical pressure from the press of a f…

When racehorses enter training at about 2 years old, they can develop tiny stress fractures and new bone formations in their legs. This condition, called bucked shin, occurs in about 70% of the animals. Researchers have now developed a method to screen…

Investigators have created the most bio-realistic and complex computer models of individual brain cells — in unparalleled quantity. Their research details how these models could one day answer questions about neurological disorders — and even human i…
