Scientists from institutions like the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University, Tufts University, and Vascular Perfusion Solutions, Inc., among others, have discovered an injectable 'biostasis' drug, SNC80, that can rapidly and reversibly slow biochemical and metabolic activities, offering potential clinical relevance for organ preservation, trauma management, and enhancing patient survival. This breakthrough discovery could revolutionize organ transplantation and medical care in remote and resource-limited locations.
Researchers from the Weizmann Institute of Science and other institutions have made significant strides in designing a stable human acid-b-glucosidase enzyme, hoping to improve therapy for Gaucher disease and mutation classification.
A team of researchers studied the tooth replacement rate of ancient hybodont sharks and its role in the recovery of the marine ecosystem during the Middle Triassic period. The ancient sharks, some of the most successful chondrichthyan lineages of all time, first appeared in the Devonian era and survived until the Late Cretaceous, according to a study published in May by Science Direct.
A study by scientists from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, has focused on cancer cells’ “bullying” behavior and its effect on cells in a tumor’s microenvironment.
Lead author Darrell Kaufman and co-author Ellie Broadman analyzed data from the last 12,000 years to address the Holocene global temperature conundrum.
A study by scientists from Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, presents the creation of a method for imaging individual electrons that “could revolutionize the development of pharmaceuticals and the characterization of quantum materials.”
Northern Arizona University researchers recently found new evidence that shows most bacteria is slow growing in wild soil. According to a release by the university, a study published in The ISME Journal, found that most bacteria in the wild grows slowly, while fast growing bacteria is not as prevalent.
Researchers at Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, have created a new scanning probe microscope that can develop quantum materials and search the “fundamental quantum nature of their electrons.”
Scientists at Yale University recently announced a groundbreaking discovery of a volatile pheromone emitted by the tsetse fly, and the findings could lead to controlling their populations and, in turn, combat the spread of disease among humans and animals in sub-Sahara Africa. John Carlson, the Eugene Higgins Professor of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology in Yale's Faculty of Arts and Sciences and senior author of the study published in Science on Feb. 16, emphasized the urgency of finding effective solutions.
Researchers at Yale University recently analyzed more than 300 kinases in the human body that showed insights into what proteins the enzymes are most likely to target, which leads to a better understanding of human biology and treating diseases. According to a release on February 14 from Yale, the findings show how kinases recognize targets based on amino acid sequences, which provides a valuable online resource for other researchers.
A decrease in tropical forest biomass due to climate change could lead to increased carbon emissions, which could accelerate global warming, a new study by the Yale School of the Environment's Maria del Rosario Uribe and Paulo Brando stated.
A potential breakthrough in treating congenital ichthyosis offers hope for sufferers like 12-year-old Peyton Fleagle, as a new ointment developed by Timber Pharmaceuticals has shown promising results in clinical trials conducted at Yale School of Medicine.
Researchers at Yale's Wright Lab have proposed using mechanical quantum sensor technologies to make ultra-sensitive measurements that detect elusive particles called neutrinos, according to a release by Yale University.
Findings from a recent study into the neurobiological underpinnings of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have resulted in a potentially significant breakthrough. The study offers crucial findings into the role of mutated genes in ASD and suggests potential treatment avenues that could revolutionize patient care.
A new Yale study reveals the puzzling dichotomy of fish diversity, with tropical waters being the most species-rich but fish groups in colder climates at higher latitudes generating new species more rapidly.
From March to September 2022, the Platinum Open Access Funding (PLATO) project conducted a study on the Swiss Diamond Open Access landscape, the results of which were recently published. This study provides insights into the growing trend of Diamond Open Access journals in Switzerland, which are run by the scientific community and are free for both authors and readers. Despite the attractive features of these journals, the financial challenges faced by editors, who often work with small budgets and rely on volunteer efforts, pose significant hurdles.
A 2022 study led by Dartmouth professor Mathieu Morlighem, reveals that the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream (NEGIS) is losing ice at an alarming rate, which could lead to up to six times more sea-level rise by 2100 than previously projected.
Enforcing the Chinese Communist Party’s zero-COVID policies while trying to protect the CCP’s image has caused many volunteers to suffer from stress and anxiety.
A combination of high-dose vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids and a simple home strength exercise program can cumulatively reduce the risk of cancer in healthy older adutls by 61 percent, according to a study led by the University of Zurich.
School closures and homeschooling during the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 led to improved health and quality of life for many teenagers, as they slept longer, according to a study from the University of Zurich.
