Scientists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) employed novel statistical methods to reveal the extent of biodiversity loss in Singapore over the past two centuries.
Cleft lip and palate are the most common craniofacial birth defects in humans, affecting more than 175,000 newborns around the world each year.
Working with mammalian retinal cells, neuroscientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine have shown that, unlike most light-sensing cells (photoreceptors) in the retina, one special type uses two different pathways at the same time to transmit electrical “vision” signals to the brain.
A new study led by researchers at the George Washington University predicts that daily, bad-actor AI activity is going to escalate by mid-2024.

A new computational framework created by Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers is accelerating their understanding of who’s in, who’s out, who’s hot and who’s not in the soil microbiome, where fungi often act as bodyguards for plants, keeping friends close and foes at bay.
The genomic analysis of 52 Psilocybe specimens includes 39 species that have never been sequenced.
University of Utah biologists developed a method for illuminating the intricate interactions of the SC in the nematode C. elegans.
Major cities on the U.S. Atlantic coast are sinking, in some cases as much as 5 millimeters per year – a decline at the ocean’s edge that well outpaces global sea level rise, confirms new research from Virginia Tech and the U.S. Geological Survey. Particularly hard hit population centers such as New York City and Long Island, Baltimore, and Virginia Beach and Norfolk are seeing areas of rapid “subsidence,” or sinking land, alongside more slowly sinking or relatively stable ground, increasing the risk to roadways, runways, building foundations, rail lines, and pipelines, according to a study published today in the Proceedings of the National Academies of Sciences.
Frequent insulin injections are an unpleasant, albeit necessary reality for many patients with type 1 diabetes. However, new technology could create a different reality for these patients by treating the disease in one fell swoop.
Using lab-made cells, Harvard Med researchers identify how the immune system neutralizes herpesvirus. Study maps, for the first time, the maneuvers used by virus and host in the cell nucleus. Findings could inform design of new treatments for herpes and other viruses that replicate in the same way.
It’s fairly well-known that a drought in southern California in the mid-1970s led to a ban on filling backyard swimming pools, and these empty pools became playgrounds for freestyle skateboarders in the greater Los Angeles area.
Living through a historic pandemic while handling the stress of the first year of college sent one-third of students in a new study into clinical depression. That’s double the percentage seen in previous years of the same study.
The lab of Yongchao C. Ma, PhD, at Stanley Manne Children’s Research Institute at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago uncovered a novel mechanism that leads to motor neuron degeneration in spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).
A new PNAS Nexus study led by scientists from the USDA Agricultural Research Service (USDA-ARS) and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign takes a retrospective look at glyphosate efficacy after tolerant crops were commercialized.
A new study reveals deep-sea corals and sponges produce the ROS superoxide, meaning these chemicals have a string of previously unknown effects on ocean life.
During the first two years of the pandemic, a COVID-19 infection during pregnancy increased the risk of preterm birth and NICU hospitalizations.
A team of Stony Brook University researchers led by Gábor Balázsi, PhD, have been testing drug resistance with mammalian cell lines. Their latest investigation reveals that by taking a part of a DNA amplification from a cell, which causes resistance, and placing it back in, actually stops the drug resistance. Their findings will be published this week in PNAS.
Jennifer Oyler-Yaniv is studying human diseases to learn about the immune system. She hopes that diseases such as cancer will reveal fundamental principles of how immune cells communicate
Researchers report that a single, simplified model can predict population fluctuations in three realms: urban employment, human gut microbiomes, and tropical forests.
