While the cold snap brought relief by significantly reducing the prevalence of particulate matter obscuring our surroundings, a recent study indicates that, besides diminishing particulate matter, it is significantly contributing to the heightened uptake of carbon dioxide by the East Sea.
For military veterans, many of the deepest wounds of war are invisible: Traumatic brain injuries resulting from head trauma or blast explosions are a leading cause of post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression and suicide among veterans.
Climate campaigners will increasingly adopt “insider activist” roles, working to change or challenge their organisations from the inside rather than the outside, a new study says.
Differences in blood flow in the retina could explain why some migraine patients experience visual symptoms while others do not, according to UCLA study.
Conservation measures have successfully stopped declines in the African savanna elephant population across southern Africa, but the pattern varies locally, according to a new study.
Cell replication in our bodies is triggered by a cascade of molecular signals transmitted between proteins. Compounds that block these signals show potential as cancer drugs. Recently, scientists uncovered the molecular mechanisms that underlie a step in the signal-transmission pathway that requires three proteins to link up. This points the way to new targets for drugs that fight certain types of cancer.
Using a new technology developed at MIT, diagnosing lung cancer could become as easy as inhaling nanoparticle sensors and then taking a urine test that reveals whether a tumor is present.
“The aim of our multidisciplinary and broad-based project is to establish antimicrobial stewardship in sub-Saharan Africa and to prevent the transmission of infectious diseases through a One Health approach,” says Dr Ahmed Abd El Wahed.
Neptune is fondly known for being a rich blue and Uranus green – but a new study has revealed that the two ice giants are actually far closer in colour than typically thought.
In a new case study published in New England Journal of Medicine Catalyst’s January 2024 issue, UC Davis Health shared a road map for increasing workforce diversity across the health care industry.
Researchers at the University of Michigan Health Rogel Cancer Center have identified a mechanism that causes severe gastrointestinal problems with immune-based cancer treatment, also finding a way to deliver immunotherapy’s cancer-killing impact without the unwelcome side effect.
In a scientific breakthrough that aids our understanding of the internal wiring of immune cells, researchers at Monash University in Australia have cracked the code behind IKAROS, an essential protein for immune cell development and protection against pathogens and cancer.
A new study led by researchers from the University of Helsinki, along with colleagues at the Massachusetts General Hospital and Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT, provides significant breakthroughs in our understanding of the genetics behind gestational diabetes.
• Stapled lipopeptides successfully deter infection by the SARS-CoV-2 virus and reduce the severity of COVID-19 in tests with hamsters
Douglas Boin, Ph.D., a professor of history at Saint Louis University, made a major announcement at the annual meeting of the Archeological Institute of America, revealing he and his team discovered an ancient Roman temple that adds significant insights into the social change from pagan gods to Christianity within the Roman Empire.
Spintronic devices are electronic devices that utilize the spin of electrons (an intrinsic form of angular momentum possessed by the electron) to achieve high-speed processing and low-cost data storage. In this regard, spin-transfer torque is a key phenomenon that enables ultrafast and low-power spintronic devices.
Researchers at the University of Liège (ULiège) have identified microstructures in fossil cells that are 1.75 billion years old. These structures, called thylakoid membranes, are the oldest ever discovered.
A bit of weed before a workout can boost motivation and make exercise more enjoyable. But if performance is the goal, it may be best to skip that joint.
As the new year kicks into full swing, so has a trio of respiratory viruses, creating a so-called tripledemic.
Hackensack Meridian Palisades Medical Center opened two new state-of-the-art medical suites. The new urology suite (top picture) and the new orthopedic suite (bottom picture) will serve patients in the New York Metropolitan area.
Academic Philanthropy Executive Joins Newly-Aligned UMSOM and UMMC Advancement Unit
A new study in Advanced Science unlocks the secrets of how high blood pressure (hypertension) fuels the progression of arteri
Air pollution significantly impacts human health, with Hainan Province in China aiming to achieve world-leading ambient air quality by 2035, despite already having relatively good air quality in China.
Researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and the Boston University Sargent College of Health & Rehabilitation Sciences have used a soft, wearable robot to help a person living with Parkinson’s walk without freezing.
What are the clouds of Venus made of? Scientists know it’s mainly made of sulfuric acid droplets, with some water, chlorine, and iron. Their concentrations vary with height in the thick and hostile Venusian atmosphere. But until now they have been unable to identify the missing component that would explain the clouds’ patches and streaks, only visible in the UV range.
People diagnosed with advanced cancer can face intense existential distress.
Margaux Lopez is one of a team of engineers preparing the Vera Rubin Observatory in Chile for the arrival of the largest digital camera ever built for astrophysics and cosmology.
Gray wolves in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone have altered immune responses and evolved anticancer mutations in response to chronic radiation exposure for the past 35 years
Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital created analogs of the antibiotic spectinomycin that are significantly more effective against these highly resistant bacteria.
The Speech Accessibility Project has expanded its recruitment and is inviting U.S. and Puerto Rican adults living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis to participate.
Air pollution significantly impacts human health, with Hainan Province in China aiming to achieve world-leading ambient air quality by 2035, despite already having relatively good air quality in China.
Ultrasound can increase the yield of ethanol, shorten fermentation time ,and increase the type and content of esters.
Out-of-hospital care surpasses the constraints of traditional in hospital models, transferring healthcare scenarios from within hospital walls to more accessible out-of-hospital settings.
High levels of folic acid or vitamin B12 deficiency can affect fetal brain development in mice, according to a new study from researchers at the University of California, Davis.
Poison Control Experts give safety tips ahead of winter storm.
Research tests a novel neurobiological model of how the brain acts as a psi (e.g. telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, or mind-matter interactions) inhibitor and concludes that the frontal lobes of the brain act as a filter to inhibit humans' innate psi abilities.
