Researchers at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine, Barcelona, have recently designed a new tool to study rescue signaling pathways and cell apoptosis. Their development might help scientists to better understand the phenomenon of cells’ excessive accumulation of errors in ...
Scientists from several major research institutions have determined that, on average, ecosystems must shift 0.42 kilometers (approximately half of a mile) each year to keep pace with current climate changes. The shifts are projected to be greatest in dry, arid ...
A new study, published by researcher from McGill University, Canada, has reported the finding of sea cow fossil, shedding light on evolution during the Middle Eocene period. The study’s success is mainly due to the intact condition in which the ...
Researchers at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois have designed a nanoparticle that may carry cholesterol out of the body in patients with cardiovascular disease. Designed to mimic HDL (also known as good cholesterol), the new particles tightly bond to LDL ...
Researchers at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City and Duke University in Durham, North Carolina are developing a polymer gel capable of blocking the HIV virus. The gel meshes with semen to create a shield that blocks the ...
Researchers at Orthomimetics of Cambridge, England have developed a joint replacement scaffold that coaxes the joint bones and surrounding cartilage tissue to slowly regrow rather than relying on permanent metal replacement joints. Based on new materials developed at Cambridge University ...
Researchers at the Broad Institute and Whitehead Institute (both in Cambridge, Massachusetts) have discovered a chemical that kills breast cancer stem cells in mice. These cells are believed to be the cause of the spread of cancer and also of ...
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts have discovered that people look for a person in a crowd by scanning the crowd, moving from one face to the next with a set timing based on waves of ...
Researchers from the University of Chicago and Vanderbilt University have uncovered that the brain plays a critical role in color perception. According to their study, it is the brain – and not the eyes – that assigns colors to objects; ...
Researchers at the University of Utah have developed a new glue that sticks to bone and other wet surfaces. The glue, based on the adhesive used by sandcastle worms building their underwater homes, turns from liquid to solid as it ...
