“Large portions of the Y chromosome have long been inaccessible to scientists, namely on account of what’s known as satellite DNA, stretches of short sequences of nucleotides repeated over and over again. On top of that, the chromosome also contains […]
“It seems that inflammation not only increases social media use, but our results show preliminary evidence that it’s also associated with using social media to specifically interact with other users, like direct messaging and posting to people’s pages. Interestingly, inflammation […]
“Researchers have developed a 3D organ-on-a-chip, complete with blood vessels, that mimics the human joint. The discovery will help researchers understand the pathology of joint diseases better and assist with the identification and testing of new treatments for arthritis.” ~ learn more
“For now, that is just a hypothesis, but it does align with recent findings that indicate amyloid beta plaques are latecomers in Alzheimer’s disease, not the original triggers of cognitive decline. This could be why treatments that target these plaques […]
“Researchers at The University of Texas (UT) at Austin tested an AI algorithm that accurately predicted 70 percent of earthquakes a week before they happened. The trials took place during a seven month period in China and offered much hope […]
“Researchers at Northwestern University have presented their new nano-electronic device in a paper published in the journal Nature Electronics. It’s designed to perform the task of classification – that is, analyzing large amounts of data and attempting to label the […]
“The Initiative has just dropped a new trove of research, with an international team of hundreds of scientists publishing more than 20 papers across Science journals. Among them are the first “atlas” of cells in the human brain, based on […]
“Our study showed fiber reduced inflammation in the brain region responsible for memory by as much as 50%.” ~ learn more
“In a move that echoes a sci-fi series, researchers have developed a super-small material that was able to not only stimulate nerves in rodents, but reconnect them as well. The finding could lead to injectable particles that take the place […]
Researchers linked silicon solar cells with perovskite solar cells in tandem. “The results, reported in Joule, illustrate that the connection protects the frail perovskite solar cell from voltage-induced breakdown while attaining greater efficiencies than either cell can achieve on their […]
