A detailed analysis of pancreatic cancer by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis has revealed details of two key transition points in the development of these tumors — the shift from normal cells to precancerous cells, …
Researchers have used an atomically thin material to build a device that can change the color of laser beams. Their microscopic device — a fraction of the size of conventional color converters — may yield new kinds of ultra-small optical circuit chip…
Scientists have identified a group of latent stem cells that respond to injury in the central nervous system of mice. If a similar type of cell exists in humans, they could offer a new therapeutic approach to treat brain and spinal cord injuries.
With super-resolution imaging, researchers discovered that cells change the physical structure of their genome when they’re affected by disease.
Brain cells with the same ‘birthdate’ are more likely to wire together into cooperative signaling circuits that carry out many functions, including the storage of memories, a new study finds.
Humans aren’t the only ones suffering through unprecedented heatwaves in a warming climate. Consider the humble minnow. These tiny fish represent the all-important base of the food chain in many freshwater ecosystems. And like all fish, minnows adjust …
A new study highlights that global demand for sulfuric acid is set to rise significantly from ‘246 to 400 million tons’ by 2040 — a result of more intensive agriculture and the world moving away from fossil fuels. A projected shortage of sulfuric acid…
Among almost 43 million people in England who received at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose, the risk of myocarditis was substantially higher in the four weeks after COVID-19 infection than after a first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, according to a new stu…
New findings reveal how recovery progresses following inflammation triggered by injury or illness.
New research has discovered evidence of a biorhythm in human primary teeth that is associated with weight gain during adolescence.
