The project also investigates processes that bring about the aurora borealis and simulates, with the help of artificial intelligence, plasma bursts in near-Earth space, utilising the computing power of a supercomputer.
A new study by researchers at the University of California, Davis shows how the three-dimensional scaffolding of chromosomes is related across several species of carnivores, offering a new approach of “comparative scaffotyping” that could be used to identify related genes across species and place them in context.
In experiments with the bacterial genus Bartonella, Israeli researchers discovered a new mechanism of mutation that the pathogen uses to survive antibiotic attack.
Melt rates measured at the base of the ice sheet are several orders of magnitude higher than previous estimates
Coral reefs connected by larvae dispersal networks have been found to benefit local fisheries and biodiversity conservation, prompting recommendations to increase the protection of connected reefs.
Menopause marks the end of a woman’s fertility, but it can also bring about a slew of other — often baffling — changes, from weight gain to brain fog.
Sleep apnea, a common disorder in which a person repeatedly stops and starts breathing while they sleep — often hundreds of times per night — is a growing problem in pregnancy.
In recent years, great advances have been made in the development of new successful immunotherapies to treat cancer. CAR T-cell therapy and antibody treatments are two types of targeted immunotherapies that have revolutionised areas of cancer care.
UH Researcher Receives $2M Grant to Innovate Computer-aided Drug Discovery for Breast Cancer
An international consortium of medical scientists has launched the Global Research Alliance in Infectious Diseases, GRAID, to help train local researchers to quickly sequence potential pathogens in developing countries.
The field of animal ecology has entered the era of big data and the Internet of Things.
Texas A&M associate professor Pushkar Lele is researching how H. pylori invade and cause infections.
One of the grand challenges with using CRISPR-based gene editing on humans is that the molecular machinery sometimes makes changes to the wrong section of a host’s genome, creating the possibility that an attempt to repair a genetic mutation in one spot in the genome could accidentally create a dangerous new mutation in another.
A study coordinated by a research group at the University of Helsinki paves the way for cell therapies for diabetes.
Tracing connections between neuron populations could help researchers map brain circuits that underlie behavior and perception.
A new data analysis tool developed by Yale researchers has revealed the specific immune cell types associated with increased risk of death from COVID-19, they report Feb. 28 in the journal Nature Biotechnology.
Curtin researchers have developed a new technique by studying the age of ancient grains of sand from beaches, rivers and rocks from around the world to reveal previously hidden details of the Earth’s distant geological past.
As mountain ecosystems are natural laboratories of global change due to their strong climatic gradients, they continue to be important ecosystems for climate change impact studies.
Fresh off successful direct involvement in NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and Parker Solar Probe (PSP) in roles that included optics, hardware, software, testing analytics, computational modeling and big data processing and dissemination, The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) is looking beyond the sky again.
The icefields that stretch for hundreds of miles atop the Andes mountain range in Chile and Argentina are melting at some of the fastest rates on the planet. The ground that was beneath this ice is also shifting and rising as these glaciers disappear.
