For The Better

The COVID-19 pandemic has presented both challenges and opportunities for medical training. Remote learning technology has become increasingly important in several fields. A new study finds that in a remote environment, an artificial intelligence (AI) …

Researchers fabricated a 3D artificial cancer tissue that overcomes one of the biggest challenges in tissue engineering: replicating the body’s smallest blood vessels. The breakthrough offers a possible alternative to animal drug testing.

No matter which of the widely accepted global circulation models ultimately comes closest to predicting the amount of warming caused by climate change, corn production will be reduced, according to a new study.

Leading health care organizations recommend exclusive breastfeeding for six months after birth, yet some mothers report stopping due to a perceived lack of milk supply. Researchers found in a recent study that women who stopped breastfeeding because th…

Traces of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus that causes COVID-19 can be detected in microscopically small fluid droplets exhaled during a very short time span, according to a new study.

As organisms grow, older cells can undergo a phenomenon called senescence. This process defines a cell state where cells permanently stop dividing but do not die. Senescent cells secrete toxic pro-inflammatory factors contributing to the development of…

A review of pre-Omicron evaluations examining four COVID-19 vaccines finds protection against severe COVID-19 fell by 10 percent on average from one to six months after full vaccination.

It cakes our cars in yellow powder every spring and taunts allergy sufferers for months on end, but pollen is more than just plant sperm. New research has determined when pollen comes of age and begins expressing its own genome, a major life cycle tran…

Researchers have used sound waves to turn stem cells into bone cells, in a tissue engineering advance that could one day help patients regrow bone lost to cancer or degenerative disease.

Researchers show that fish, through precise control of body fluctuations, generate movable vortex pairs of high- and low-pressure regions that enable them to swim. They used particle image velocimetry and high-speed cameras to analyze the spontaneous s…

For the first time, neuroscientists have identified a population of neurons in the human brain that light up when we hear singing, but not other types of music.
