The function of non-coding RNA in the cell has long been a mystery to researchers. Unlike coding RNA, non-coding RNA does not produce proteins — yet it exists in large quantities. A research team has now discovered an important function of antisense R…

Many dynamic processes can be described mathematically with the aid of stochastic partial differential equations. Scientists have found a new method which helps to solve a certain class of such equations.

Research illustrates that American Heart Association and American Stroke Association guidelines are effective at speeding up hospitals’ response times for stroke treatment and can be mastered even by members of ‘ad hoc’ medical teams that assemble rapi…

A doubling of the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere could cause an increase in the average temperature on earth from 7 to even a maximum of 14 degrees. That is shown in the analysis of sediments from the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California.

A new family tree of the plant genus Solanum helps explain the striking diversity of their fruit color and size. This genus includes tomatoes, potatoes, eggplants, and other economically important plants.

One of the first studies to examine patient acceptability of teleneurology and determine factors influencing acceptability across neurological conditions, has found teleneurology was highly acceptable across the full range of patients with different ne…

Researchers develop the first-ever device powered by blood to measure blood electrical conductivity.

For those suffering from treatment-resistant depression, the anaesthetic drug ketamine offers hope, but it has side effects and can be costly to access — a clinical trial may change that.

Insights from advanced imaging technology show how neurons communicate at the atomic level for the first time.

Researchers found that ChatGPT consistently ranked resumes with disability-related honors and credentials — such as the ‘Tom Wilson Disability Leadership Award’ — lower than the same resumes without those honors and credentials. But when researchers …

A new study found that nearly 75 per cent of young people with a psychotic disorder had at least one mental health service visit within the three years prior to their first diagnosis of the disorder.

Our bone marrow the fatty, jelly-like substance inside our bones is an unseen powerhouse quietly producing 500 billion new blood cells every day. That process is driven by hematopoietic stem cells that generate all of the various types of blood cells i…
