Researchers evaluated the ability of a polygenic risk score constructed from a genome-wide association study of rheumatoid arthritis susceptibility to predict radiographic progression, which is indicative of structural joint damage in individuals with …
Computer engineers have developed virtual eyes that simulate how humans look at the world accurately enough for companies to train virtual reality and augmented reality programs. Called EyeSyn for short, the program will help developers create applicat…
A new study shows that aging slows to a crawl when yellow-bellied marmots hibernate. These large ground squirrels are able to virtually halt the aging process during the seven to eight months they spend hibernating in their underground burrows, the res…
Researchers have generated new maps of jet contrails over the United States before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, which show a steep reduction in the area covered by contrails in 2020.
A new study challenges a commonly accepted explanation that a ‘sudden stratospheric warming’ caused the unusually cold weather over the U.S. early last year, a view which was widely reported in the media and discussed among scientists at the time.
Researchers have discovered that a micro-protein, which they named Nrs1, supports cell division and proliferation when nutrients are scarce.
A new study asks what drove prehistoric humans to collect and recycle flint tools that had been made, used, and discarded by their predecessors. After examining flint tools from one layer at the 500,000-year-old prehistoric site of Revadim in the south…
Many countries have set carbon neutrality as a policy goal, but according to a new study, there are various risks associated with the reduction of greenhouse gases, especially in the agriculture, forestry, and land use sectors, that need to be consider…
A new model to analyse infectious disease outbreak data has been developed by mathematicians that could be used to improve disease tracking and control.
Ordinary potted house plants can potentially make a significant contribution to reducing air pollution in homes and offices, according to new research.
Insights into the oxidation of hydrocarbons at vanadium pentoxide pave the way for a new catalyst design.
Researchers have discovered the first proteomic subtype of an aggressive blood cancer by using mass spectrometry technology.
A research team has devised a novel and highly promising strategy for overcoming a key cause of cancer deaths: the ability of cancer cells to thrive in the face of chemotherapy drugs designed to destroy them.
Scientists helped discover a way to enhance tomato smell and taste. Scientists showed that five of the compounds are part of a biochemical pathway for synthesis of these important flavor compounds.
A newly discovered protein helps bacteria recognize stress hormones in the human body and direct their motion in the host.
Researchers show what happens in the human brain when we try to influence other people or when we ourselves are influenced by others.
Researchers demonstrate that combinations of antiviral drugs inhibiting both polymerase and exonuclease reduce SARS-CoV-2 replication 10 times more than polymerase inhibitors alone.
By employing artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics to formulate therapeutic proteins, a team has successfully stabilized an enzyme able to degrade scar tissue resulting from spinal cord injuries and promote tissue regeneration. The study details th…
A new study — in mice — suggests that blocking a major inflammatory pathway that is activated in pancreatic cancer makes the tumors sensitive to chemotherapy and a type of immunotherapy that prompts the immune system’s T cells to attack the cancer ce…
Researchers found a unique immune cell plays a key role in the chronic inflammation and scarring in the lungs and skin of people with scleroderma, or systemic sclerosis. After injecting mice with biodegradable PLG nanoparticles, which are used in medic…
