To combat viruses, bacteria and other pathogens, synthetic biology offers new technological approaches whose performance is being validated in experiments. Researchers applied data integration and artificial intelligence (AI) to develop a machine learn…
Sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs) play a crucial role in lipid biosynthesis. In a recent study, researchers identified a novel cleavage enzyme of SREBP-1c, a key player in fatty acid biosynthesis. Moreover, the team unveiled, for the …
The number of infections by the tick-borne TBE virus that are not detected by health services is far higher than previously assumed. This has been shown in a new study of Swedish blood donors.
New research finds that smartphone usage can increase and even become unhealthy for those who have obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Uncertainty surrounding how truncated titin proteins (TTNtvs) cause dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) led to investigations that could better inform therapies for these conditions.
In a new study, researchers have discovered how a system of proteins, called TamAB, helps Salmonella survive under the harsh conditions inside macrophages.
Tidal range schemes can protect estuaries and coastal areas from the effects of sea level rise, according to researchers who say that tidal range schemes are vital to protect habitats, housing and businesses from a rising sea level estimated to be over…
In a new study, researchers demonstrate that deregulation of a protein called RBFOX2, involved in RNA splicing, contributes to the progression and metastasis of pancreatic cancer.
A recent study explored a new way to ease the transition with an art therapy intervention to address the health needs of overweight, postmenopausal women.
Clothes and other textiles are among the materials that we are the worst at recycling. But this may change. Researchers have developed a new technology that can separate out fibers in mixed fabrics.
An international team of scientists has uncovered the ocean’s intricate web of microbial interactions across depths. Their research provides crucial insights into the functioning of ocean ecosystems.
For individuals who experience chronic pain, weather can be a significant factor in their day-to-day plans. In a recent study, about 70 percent of respondents said they would alter their behavior based on weather-based pain forecasts.
A study of children and youth with diabetes concludes that so-called autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) diabetic eye exams significantly increase completion rates of screenings designed to prevent potentially blinding diabetes eye diseases (DED).
Research is helping shed light on the important interaction between users and remote drivers that oversee the operation of automated vehicles.
As they grow, children increasingly focus their attention on social elements in their environment, such as faces or social interactions. However, children with autism are often more interested in non-social stimuli, such as textures or geometric shapes…
As individuals age, maintaining muscular health becomes increasingly crucial, where the loss of muscle mass and strength is linked to a higher risk of falls and reduced physical activity. Now, researchers from Japan have developed a practical and acces…
A new study finds that, contrary to previous beliefs, large amounts of aerosol particles can form over vast areas of the West Siberian taiga in the spring. When temperatures rise, this can have a significant impact on the climate.
Researchers have developed a sensor array design technology inspired by the human auditory system. By mimicking the human ear’s ability to distinguish sounds through tonotopy, this innovative sensor array approach could optimize the application of sens…
Researchers have identified a novel pharmaceutical compound that successfully kills leukemia and lymphoma cancer cells, potentially paving the way for new forms of therapy.
Wastewater surveillance is a potent tool in understanding COVID-19 transmission within school settings and keeping schools open when COVID cases spike, according to a new study.
