NeuroTherapia, an early-stage clinical pharmaceutical company, announced today that it has received a grant from the Alzheimer's Association Part the Cloud program for the development of its first-in-class drug, NTRX-07, for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD).
A collection of seven technologies for lithium recovery developed by scientists from the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory has been licensed to Element3, a Texas-based company focused on extracting lithium from wastewater produced by oil and gas production.
A team of scientists, with help from Argonne National Laboratory’s Advanced Photon Source, have demonstrated the existence of an elusive state of matter known as quantum spin nematic.
Under DOE’s Integrated Research Infrastructure initiative, a team from ORNL and SLAC is establishing a data portal that will enable Frontier to process the results from experiments conducted by LCLS-II.
Computational scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have published a study in the Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation that questions a long-accepted factor in simulating the molecular dynamics of water: the 2 femtosecond (one quadrillionth of a second) time step.
Understanding how mucus changes, and what it changes in response to, can help diagnose illnesses and develop treatments. In APL Bioengineering, researchers develop a system to grow mucus-producing intestinal cells and study the characteristics of the mucus in different conditions.
In APL Bioengineering, researchers used a breast cancer cell line panel and primary tumor explants from breast and cervical cancer patients to examine two different cellular contractility modes: one that generates collective tissue surface tension that keeps cell clusters compact and another, more directional, contractility that enables cells to pull themselves into the extracellular matrix.
“The independent research groups, led by Prof. Scott W. Lowe and Christina Curtis,respectively, have uncovered a similar definitive pathway in the progression of gastric cancer (GC) initiated with loss of the TP53 gene, representing a milstone in understanding the early stages of this deadly disease”. Dr. Zhaocai Zhou, head of a GC laboratory from Fudan University, stated.
A recent American Academy of Dermatology survey of more than 1,000 U.S. adults revealed that outdoor workers — like those who work in construction, landscaping, emergency medical services, and postal delivery — are far more likely to get sunburned and tanned, putting themselves at increased risk for skin cancer, compared to the average American.
Theoretical models of dark matter predict that its signals can be detected using low-background radiation detectors. By looking for specific types of dark matter and finding no signal, scientists operating the Majorana Demonstrator experiment have significantly narrowed the characteristics of potential dark matter particles. The results will help design future experiments.
Investigators at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have examined the historical evolution of Community Outreach and Engagement initiatives at both the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and National Cancer Institute-Designated Cancer Centers (NCI-DCCs).
A new study led by University of Michigan Health Rogel Cancer Center researchers identifies novel biomarkers in renal cell carcinomas.
Laurence Belfer, on behalf of Robert Belfer and the Belfer family, today announced a $20 million gift to The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center to strengthen neurodegeneration research through the Belfer Neurodegeneration Consortium (BNDC), a transformative multi-institutional initiative to advance the study and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.
As a parent, you want your child to be inclusive and accepting of the people they encounter—including those with autism spectrum disorder. Approximately 95% of children with disabilities enroll in regular schools. That means your child is likely to meet someone with autism in class or extracurricular activities, whether they realize it or not.
Study reveals VR's potential in revolutionizing depression treatment, offering hope to millions worldwide.
Berkeley Lab scientists have achieved record-high energy and power densities in microcapacitors made with engineered thin films, using materials and fabrication techniques already widespread in chip manufacturing.
New research finds that, while an increasing number of minors are using virtual reality (VR) apps, not many parents recognize the extent of the security and privacy risks that are specific to VR technologies.
ORNL researchers Vandy Tombs and Robert Bridges have developed a new method that improves on the standard method of differential privacy to allow healthcare data sharing while maintaining patient privacy.
