Researchers have for the first time demonstrated it’s possible to use a synthetic thyroid hormone to regulate a gene implicated in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis.
Researchers have identified a new way to measure DNA torsional stiffness — how much resistance the helix offers when twisted — information that can potentially shed light on how cells work.
A research team has recently synthesized a chemo-enzymatic nanostructure that can selectively synthesize one enantiomer while acting like an artificial organelle in the cell.
A new study suggests that skin fibroblasts from frontotemporal dementia patients may be useful in investigating underlying disease mechanisms as well as in biomarker and drug research.
Researchers have shown that human-caused climate change will have important consequences for how volcanic gases interact with the atmosphere.
Along with collecting a sample from the Bennu’s surface, the spacecraft provided precision data to better predict the near-Earth object’s orbit around the Sun.
New research shows a lasting relationship between childhood poverty, brain development.
Identifying and researching different heat stress response patterns in corals will help to protect the world’s reefs better from the effects of climate change. A new study describes the necessary test procedures and initial results.
A two-arm molecule can effectively deplete cancer-protecting cells inside tumors, allowing the immune system to fight off tumors without becoming overactive. The finding, published online in Science Translational Medicine, could lead to new types of ca…
The cabbage butterfly, voracious as a caterpillar, is every gardener’s menace. Turns out, these lovely white or sulfur yellow butterflies started trying to take over the planet long ago. Biologists used statistical methods to trace the path of Pieridae…
Geologists investigated the extent to which the growth of belemnites and changes to their appearance depend on ecological reactions and whether these changes are evidence of environmental crises that could have a serious impact on the climate in future.
New research demonstrates that dendrimers, tiny synthetic particles, can avoid detection by our immune system and could be used to develop a new system to deliver drugs into the body without triggering a reaction.
A new study has revealed that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) particles can be aerosolized by an infected person during talking and singing. Researchers concluded that fine respiratory aerosols may play a significant role in …
A recent study has unveiled a hemolysis-free and highly efficient blood plasma separation platform.
A recent study shows the association between bank vole abundance variations and the incidence of Lyme Borreliosis and Puumala hantavirus infections. The study showed that the abundance variations of the reservoir hosts of wildlife originated pathogens …
Physicists have reached a new threshold of light-matter coupling at the nanoscale.
In an ongoing effort to accelerate catalytic reactions, oxidation of metal complexes using light has emerged as a standard method to synthesize aromatic compounds. Now, researchers have demonstrated a high-yield synthesis pathway through reduction of r…
An anticounterfeiting smart label and security platform which makes forgery fundamentally impossible has been proposed. The device accomplishes this by controlling a variety of information of light including the color, phase, and polarization in one op…
Evidence of cognitive deficits in people who have recovered from COVID-19 has been discovered in a new study of over 80,000 individuals.
A simple addition to injected COVID-19 vaccines could enhance their effectiveness and provide ‘border protection’ immunity in areas like the nose and mouth to supplement antibodies in the bloodstream, new research suggests.
