In a new study led by Postdoc Ryan Germain from the Center for Macroecology, Evolution and Climate (CMEC), researchers have managed to identify the trait combinations and sets in birds associated with long-term population declines and sensitivity to warming climate conditions.
A distinct immune response is observed in people who had COVID-19 and then got vaccinated.
“The number of children with sleep disturbances nearly doubled,” says a UW Medicine psychiatrist and sleep specialist.
Map details the changes in gene activity that occur as the embryo develops and differentiates into different cell types.
A study suggests that economic support reduces alcohol misuse and depressive symptoms among low-income mothers.
Technique allows researchers to toggle on individual genes that regulate cell growth, development and function.
Certain plants pose a valuable medicinal resource. However, many species are threatened by changes in climate and land use. To sustainably exploit the plants' potential in global health care systematic and transdisciplinary research is highly important, argues a group of researchers, including Dr. Spyros Theodoridis and Professor David Nogués-Bravo, in a new publication.
A new study shows that wild Atlantic salmon has an unique and surprisingly stable microbiome in their guts. This new knowledge can improve the large salmon industry and make it more sustainable.
A new study by MIT and Harvard University researchers shows how small-scale actions could improve air quality and health outcomes in India.
Scientists have identified a new role for a protein complex at the center of a human genetic disorder called Bardet-Biedl syndrome, or BBS, for which there is currently no cure.
Maverick was first used as a baby name after a television show called “Maverick” aired in the 1950s, but its popularity rose meteorically in 1986 with the release of the movie “Top Gun.” Today, it is even used for baby girls.
Reducing levels of the nutrient phosphorus to control harmful algal blooms in places like Lake Erie is actually advantageous to toxic cyanobacteria strains, which can lead to an increase in toxins in the water, according to a new modeling study.
Planetary systems around stars the size of our sun are obvious targets for astronomers trying to locate extraterrestrial life forms, and nearly every second star in that category is a binary star.
Quantum materials emit light as though it were only a positive pulse, rather than a positive-negative oscillation.
News media covered the National Football League national anthem protests more heavily on their Instagram accounts when readers’ reactions to protest were more negative and more polarized, according to a University of Michigan study.
Nanoengineered drugs that stop harmful bacteria and viruses could be on the horizon
The movement of herders and livestock into the eastern steppe is of great interest to researchers, but few scholars have linked the introduction of herds and horses to the rise of complex societies.
In our sun’s neighborhood of the Milky Way Galaxy is a relatively bright star, and in it, astronomers have been able to identify the widest range of elements in a star beyond our solar system yet.
A new University of Michigan study that used fossil oyster shells as paleothermometers found the shallow sea that covered much of western North America 95 million years ago was as warm as today’s tropics.
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have developed a solid-state heat engine that they say is more energy-efficient than a steam turbine.
