For The Better

Researchers have developed a proof-of-concept system to autonomously detect compressed air leaks on trains and relay the location of the leaks to mechanical personnel for repair. The automated system could reduce the time, costs and labor needed to fin…

A new report explores how to leverage low-cost methods to enable people with blindness, deaf-blindness, visual impairment or low vision to more easily move through public, urban indoor and outdoor spaces.

A novel branched lipid that has a high stability in storage and a high efficiency in the delivery of mRNA to cells has been developed.

Human-robot interactions not only allow robots to interact with humans but also with the environment. Microrobots, for instance, can interact with insects and measure the force exerted by them during flight or walking. However, this interaction is not …

Blood stem cell transplantation is a radical but highly effective therapy for multiple sclerosis. A study has now examined in detail the way in which the treatment curbs the autoimmune disease and how the immune system regenerates afterwards. A better …

Researchers at UC Riverside are paving the way for diabetes and cancer patients to forget needles and injections, and instead take pills to manage their conditions.

For cancer cells to grow and spread around the human body, they need proteins that bind copper ions. New research about how cancer-related proteins bind the metal and how they interact with other proteins, opens up potential new drug targets in the fig…

A new study showed elevated levels of cat and dog allergens, as well as BDG and endotoxin on simulated phone models.

A new study suggests that early morning hours are better than later in the afternoon for dodging pollen.

A new study shows a treatment using the CRISPR genome editing technology succeeded in alleviating swelling and reducing the frequency of attacks for those with hereditary angioedema.

A scalpel-free, high-tech form of brain surgery offers long-term relief for patients with essential tremor, a common movement disorder, a five-year review shows.

As temperatures around the world continue to rise because of global warming, a team of researchers are looking for environmental clues from millions of years in the past to predict what the southwestern climate may look like in the future. By analyzing…
