Researchers have developed a low-cost, energy-efficient method for making materials that can capture carbon dioxide directly from the air. Researchers used a method similar to charging a battery to instead charge activated charcoal, which is often used…
Researchers invented a technique that allows them to observe which genes and enhancers are active in a cell at the same time. This could help them determine which enhancers control which genes and may reveal potential new drug targets for genetic disor…
Researchers have discovered a new biological pathway that is a principal driver of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and related conditions, and which can be targeted using existing drugs.
Scientists discovered how macrophages, which act as the immune system’s first line of defense, tailor their specific responses to various intruders through the independent and cooperative functions of three SWI/SNF protein complex variants: cBAF, ncBAF…
A high sodium diet may increase the risk of eczema, according to researchers, who found that eating just one extra gram of sodium per day increases the likelihood of flares by 22%.
Nearly one in six patients in primary care reported cannabis use, with 35% of those using at levels indicating moderate- to high-risk use disorder. The findings indicate the need for routine cannabis use screening. Currently few healthcare systems offe…
A recent study provides new insights into how fathers’ diets and overweight can affect their children’s health even before conception. The findings of the study can help develop preventive health measures for men wishing to become fathers: The healthie…
Antibiotic treatment prior to surgical repair of a pediatric elbow fracture does not reduce the risk for post-operative infection.
A rare exoplanet that should have been stripped down to bare rock by its nearby host star’s intense radiation somehow grew a puffy atmosphere instead — the latest in a string of discoveries forcing scientists to rethink theories about how planets age …
New research has linked multiple types of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS, also known as ‘forever chemicals’) with increased risk of cardiovascular diseases in postmenopausal women. Specifically, the study reveals how PFAS chemicals interact …
Global warming caused by humans is advancing at 0.26 C per decade — the highest rate since records began, according to new research by over 50 leading international scientists.
