BILE ACID DIARRHOEA More than 10 urgent visits to the bathroom a day due to diarrhoea can make it virtually impossible to lead a normal life. But new research can help doctors diagnose bile acid diarrhoea and find the right treatment.
A hitherto unknown connection between a neuropeptide and an enzyme provides a more complete picture of why some people develop late-onset Alzheimer’s disease.
As with many natural phenomena, scientists look to the climate of the past to understand what may lie ahead as Earth warms.
Rice engineers show low-cost, point-of-care platform is effective for HPV testing
A new technique helps a nontechnical user understand why a robot failed, and then fine-tune it with minimal effort to perform a task effectively.
Quantum light can help create longer lasting quantum states useful for information processing
Bandage is threaded with photonic fibers that change color to signal pressure level.
By amassing in high-density regions, dust grains avoid drifting toward the star they are orbiting
The synthetic production of a critical building block called methanediamine for the first time by researchers in University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa’s Department of Chemistry could lead to key insights into the origins of life.
As climate change continues, human cases of rat lungworm disease are anticipated to become more widespread globally, especially in places where the parasite that causes the disease is not yet present.
A virus-produced protein that blocks the activation of a cellular-stress response could be used to save neurons in some neurodegenerative disorders
Drugs that inhibit plant immune responses by blocking key signaling pathways could enable novel approaches to genome editing
For the first time, astronomers have spotted an exoplanet with a decaying orbit around a star that resembles a future version of our Sun.
In Hawaiʻi, Native Hawaiian cancer patients have a two-fold increased risk of dying from sepsis, a life-threatening immune response to an infection, compared to other ethnicities, according to a new study co-authored by University of Hawaiʻi Cancer Center researchers.
Earth is constantly being bombarded by meteorites—from nearly invisible, dust-sized particles to large impactors that have changed the trajectory of life on our planet.
A new aerial chainsaw device that could assist in the battle to save Hawaiʻi’s ʻōhiʻa trees from a deadly fungal pathogen is being put to the test by a University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo geographer.
The traumatic effects of colonization, particularly the forced disconnection from Hawaiʻi’s abundant ʻāina, which has led to complex, interconnected, health disparities seen today in Native Hawaiian communities and especially in the ʻōpio (youth), is the focus of new research from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Thompson School of Social Work & Public Health.
An investigation into National Science Foundation (NSF) data on funding rates, award types and proposal ratings from 1996 to 2019 found pervasive racial disparities
A structural picture of protein interaction could help to develop new drugs
Clear evidence that marine phytoplankton are much more resilient to future climate change than previously thought is the focus of a study published in Science Advances by an international team of scientists, including University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa oceanography professor David Karl.
