For The Better

A team has published evapotranspiration projections for Andalusia through 2100, using a machine learning model that allows this data to be obtained based on the air temperature.

Scientists have decoded critical genetic factors in intestinal metaplasia patients, shedding light on early signs and prevention strategies for stomach cancer — often a ‘ticking time bomb’ as patients experience no or only mild symptoms in the early s…

Caffeine can have a negative impact on football players’ decision-making skills, new research shows. A study has found that while consuming caffeine before a game can improve the accuracy of football passes, it can have an adverse effect on more tactic…

A single strand of newly developed fiber has the flexibility of cotton and the electric conductivity of the polymer, polyaniline. The new material has shown good potential for wearable e-textiles. The researchers tested the fibers with a system that po…

Researchers describe a novel molecular link between vitamin B12 and MS that takes place in astrocytes — important non-neuronal glial cells in the brain.

A number of diseases are caused by proteins that have spun out of control. Unfortunately, so far, conventional drugs have been able to stop only a fraction of these troublemakers. A new class of drugs known as PROTACs holds great promise in pharmaceuti…

The electrical properties of cancer cells can provide information on their cancer type, state, and drug resistance. However, conventional platforms to measure these properties are complex and can only analyze a few cells. Researchers have successfully …

As holidays near, people are sneaking shakes of their presents to try to figure out what they’re getting. But present shakers might be a little less sly than they think. New research shows it’s incredibly easy for people watching others shake boxes to …

In mice and human cell cultures, researchers showed that novel nanoparticles can deliver a potential therapy for inflammation in the brain, a prominent symptom in Alzheimer’s disease.

Scientists have developed two new methods to create ordered carbon nanotube films with either a left- or right-handed chiral pattern.

It may feel unforgivably rude to reject an invitation — even one to an event you would much prefer not to attend — but people often overestimate the social consequences of saying no, according to new research.

A new study provides us with a better understanding of how the brain responds to injuries. Researchers have discovered that a protein called Snail plays a key role in coordinating the response of brain cells after an injury.  

Crustacean and seaweed materials combined in a unique way could provide a sustainable alternative to plastic films.

Circulating tumor DNA predicts recurrence and splits disease into two subgroups of Hodgkin lymphoma. New drug targets or changes in treatments may reduce toxicity.

The current emoji library doesn’t accurately represent the ‘tree of life’ and the breadth of biodiversity seen in nature according to a new analysis. A team of conservation biologists categorized emojis related to nature and animals and mapped them ont…

Medical researchers found a way to grow samples of different types of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) in the lab. While generating their new model, the researchers discovered that some pulmonary NETs need the protein EGF to be able to grow. These types of…
