For The Better

A new study finds that convalescent plasma from recovered COVID-19 patients can dramatically improve likelihood of survival among blood cancer patients hospitalized with the virus. The therapy involves transfusing plasma from people who have recovered …

By cleverly combining complementary sequencing techniques, researchers have deepened our understanding of the function of known RNA molecules and discovered thousands of new RNAs. A better understanding of our transcriptome is essential to better under…

A new article introduces a rapid assessment framework that can be used as a guide to make conservation and nature-based solutions more robust to future climate.

The depths of the Black Sea store comparatively large amounts of organic carbon. A research team has now presented a new hypothesis as to why organic compounds accumulate in this semi-enclosed sea and other oxygen-depleted waters. Reactions with hydrog…

Babies born by Cesarean section don’t have the same healthy bacteria as those born vaginally, but a new study finds that these natural bacteria can be restored.

A research team has developed bio-inks for biosensors that could help localize critical regions in tissues and organs during surgical operations.

New research shows that nearly 28% of all electric scooters reported injuries were head and neck injuries.

Nanodecoys made from human lung spheroid cells (LSCs) can bind to and neutralize SARS-CoV-2, promoting viral clearance and reducing lung injury in a macaque model of COVID-19. By mimicking the receptor that the virus binds to rather than targeting the …

With sorghum poised to become an important crop grown by Pennsylvania farmers, researchers tested more than 150 germplasm lines of the plant for resistance to a fungus likely to hamper its production.

Physicists have used ultrashort laser pulses to probe the dynamics of photoelectron emission in tungsten crystals.

A long-term passive rewilding study has shown that natural woodland regeneration could make a significant contribution to meeting the UK’s ambitious tree planting targets – potentially at no cost and within relatively short timescales. The research fou…

Researchers studying prions — misfolded proteins that cause lethal incurable diseases — have identified the surface features of human prions responsible for their replication in the brain.
