SARS CoV-2 viral protein is detected in fecal samples of up to 50% of people diagnosed with Covid-19, even when the nasopharyngeal swab test proves negative. However, the role of intestinal infection in Covid-19 disease progression remains to be clarified.
Advancement paves the way for a range of potential AFM novel applications and nano-scale discoveries
A new device, which doesn’t rely on immunosuppressing drugs, may assist efforts to develop an artificial pancreas to treat diabetes.
Inspired by a fiddler crab eye, scientists developed an amphibious artificial vision system with a panoramic visual field.
The paper test measures the level of neutralizing antibodies in a blood sample and could help people decide what protections they should take against infection.
Study: When adults gain access to Medicaid, they sign up their previously unenrolled kids, too — yet many more remain outside the system.
Prokaryotes can detect hallmark viral proteins and trigger cell death through a process seen across all domains of life.
The peptide is used by legumes to control nitrogen-fixing bacteria; it may also offer leads for treating patients with too much heme in their blood.
Enzyme inhibitors are used by pesticides and nerve agents to target acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme that starts the breakdown of an organism's neurotransmission. It is also used in the laboratory to preserve a protein for study by shutting down the organism's nerve impulse transmission.
By modeling the conditions of an entire wind farm rather than individual turbines, engineers can squeeze more power out of existing installations.
Female white-faced capuchin monkeys living in the tropical dry forests of northwestern Costa Rica may have figured out the secret to a longer life — having fellow females as friends.
Quantum computing, though still in its early days, has the potential to dramatically increase processing power by harnessing the strange behavior of particles at the smallest scales.
UCLA scientists have devised a method for producing intricately shaped hydrogel microparticles at a rate of more than 40 million per hour — at least 10 times faster than the current standard approach.
The human body responds to stress, from the everyday to the extreme, by producing a hormone called cortisol.
UCLA study shows the strange markings are the result of trapped big cats chewing through wire snares, indicating these animals are injured at far higher rates than previously assumed
A study using mice by scientists at the Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at UCLA reveals that cardiac muscle cells play a pivotal role in determining how the heart heals following a heart attack.
Regular smokers are at heightened risk of developing cardiovascular disease, but crushing the butts in favor of a “smokeless” alternative like chewing tobacco, snuff or tobacco lozenges may go a long way toward bringing the danger down to a more normal level, a new UCLA-led study shows.
Many people with opioid use disorder engage with the justice system, making it a critical place to offer evidence-based treatment.
Dr Tim Johnson, from Curtin’s School of Earth and Planetary Sciences, said the idea that the continents originally formed at sites of giant meteorite impacts had been around for decades, but until now there was little solid evidence to support the theory.
Researchers from ETH Zurich discover the first definitive proof that the Moon inherited indigenous noble gases from the Earth’s mantle.
