Research has resulted in a new method of screening for sleep disorders in children. The tool, the first of its kind, allows health professionals to assess children for multiple sleep problems at once, resulting in a quicker evaluation and more targeted…

Animals and fungi predominantly use two different modes of cell division — called open and closed mitosis, respectively. A new study has shown that different species of Ichthyosporea — marine protists that are close relatives of both animals and fung…

Researchers found that adding a newly developed modified sugar, BNAP-AEO, to gapmer antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) increased their affinity for target RNAs, thus significantly enhancing their gene-silencing effects in vitro and in vivo. The BNAP-AEO…

A new study demonstrates that kangaroos, wallabies and other Australian marsupials fear humans far more than any other predator.

Researcher leads a new clinical trial testing her flicker technology on patients with epilepsy.

Researchers have used computational design methods to develop non-metal organic porous framework materials, with potential applications in areas such as catalysis, water capture or hydrogen storage.

A new study shows that real-world ocean conditions make a huge difference in how viral infection affects host bacteria. The findings indicate it is very important to study cells and virocells under nutrient conditions that more closely resemble what th…

Short but severe episodes of flooding from hurricanes in Texas and Florida triggered a nationwide increase in flood insurance sign-ups depending on how socially connected a county was to the flooded counties.

Late last year, geneticists made the discovery that morning sickness’s most serious presentation, hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), is caused by the hormone GDF15, not human chorionic gonadotropin as previously thought. Researchers dispel common morning sic…
