Leveraging supercomputing power, University of Arizona researchers created simulations of millions of computer-generated "universes" to test astrophysical predictions that have eluded astronomical observations.
UArizona Heath Sciences researchers developed one of the most accurate COVID-19 antibody tests available and now have shown antibodies persist for months after infection, providing long-term immunity.
A comprehensive analysis of covalently closed circular RNA across ecosystems reveals that viroids infect a diverse collection of host species, including those that aren't plants. The study also discovers other types of ribozyme activity and functional properties in these molecules.
In the marine fossil record, Raup and Sepkoski identified five distinct periods of time when there was a significant amount of species loss.
UT Austin researchers confirmed that the genetic control region they discovered only controls the expression of a sodium channel gene in muscle and no other tissues. In this image, a green fluorescent protein lights up only in trunk muscle in a developing zebrafish embryo. Image credit: Mary Swartz/Johann Eberhart/University of Texas at Austin.
The complex mental condition known as bipolar disorder is characterized by alternating periods of elevated and depressed moods, as well as mixed states of both. At this time, there is not a reliable biomarker on the market that can be used to diagnose or monitor the disease.
Social cohesion and connection decline in an ageing population, according to a new study of one of humanity’s closest relatives.
Leading environmental health experts have called for a comprehensive review of the UK’s fire safety regulations, with a focus on the environmental and health risks of current chemical flame retardants.
The scientific literature has repeatedly shown health gaps between lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) and heterosexual people.
Until now, the scientific community did not know exactly when or how these viral reservoirs—the existence of which is a major obstacle to curing HIV—are established in human beings.
Biodiversity loss may be the harbinger of a more devastating ecological collapse, an international team of scientists have discovered.
