Scientists have developed a novel 3D tissue-engineered model of the glioblastoma tumor microenvironment that can be used to learn why the tumors return and what treatments will be most effective at eradicating them — right down to a patient-specific l…

A lab that specializes in applying data science to the study of conservation biology has created an open-source app to harvest field data from Microsoft’s HoloLens mixed-reality headset. The app allows researchers to gather data as they walk and look a…

As plants experience multiple stressors from heat, drought and flooding because of extreme weather events, a plant scientist recently discovered a new way of measuring whether they are stressed out.

New research provide evidence that the crustacean carapace, along with other plate-like structures in arthropods (crustaceans, insects, arachnids, and myriapods) all evolved from a lateral leg lobe in a common ancestor more than 500 million years ago. …

By the year 2060, projected rates of cardiovascular risk factors and disease will increase significantly in the United States, according to a new study.

In the classic ‘nature versus nurture’ debate, scientists discovered ancient ice ages have shaped the genetics of eelgrasses today — and those genetics could play a stronger role than the environment in shaping how eelgrasses respond to threats.

Using digital devices, such as smartphones, could help improve memory skills rather than causing people to become lazy or forgetful, finds a new study.

SARS-CoV-2 causes a broad range of clinical symptoms, including potentially fatal acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). A study suggests the nasal epithelium (the lining of the nose) of children inhibits infection and replication of the ancestral…

Depictions of women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) are powerful sources of inspiration for young women who aspire to a career in those fields. But stereotypes of female scientists persist, and we have some way to go to vanqu…

New research introduces a novel, AI-based dynamic brain imaging technology alternative which could map out rapidly changing electrical activity in the brain with high speed, high resolution, and low cost.

Researchers report that individuals with two copies of a gene mutation show evidence of substantial iron buildup in regions of the brain, raising risk for movement disorders like Parkinson’s disease.
