A new RNA-based control switch could be used to trigger production of therapeutic proteins to treat cancer or other diseases.
Outreach program introduces local students to genome engineering and a career in science
Researchers at the University of Zurich show how climate mitigation scenarios can be improved by taking into account that the financial system can play both an enabling or a hampering role on the path to a sustainable economic system.
UC San Diego scientists find an auto-signaling mechanism driving the T cell anti-tumor response
A visual analytics tool helps child welfare specialists understand machine learning predictions that can assist them in screening cases.
The technology could be developed as a rapid diagnostic for Covid-19 or other emerging pathogens.
Scripps Oceanography researchers show fertilized eggs stayed local, but in some years drifted to nearby islands.
Social learning in orangutans is shaped by their sex. Young males learn their foraging skills from immigrant individuals, while young females get their skills by observing their mothers and other residents in the area. These different sets of ecological knowledge help secure their survival.
Effects of unhealthy food followed young mice into adulthood
Periodically catching up on sleep can improve gait control for the chronically sleep-deprived.
Hiring, promotion and tenure within universities are based on objective metrics of performance, something that is often evaluated using metrics that disproportionately favor men over women, such as citations and invited lectureships.
As global warming threatens to decrease crop yields, a newly discovered gene may help plants resist heat stress, strengthening our agricultural response.
When people think of sea-level rise, they usually think of coastal erosion. However, recent computer modeling studies indicate that coastal wastewater infrastructure, which includes sewer lines and cesspools, is likely to flood with groundwater as sea-level rises.
The first imaging of substantial freshwater plumes west of Hawaiʻi Island may help water planners to optimize sustainable yields and aquifer storage calculations.
Drone technology by the University of Hawaiʻi Marine Mammal Research Program (MMRP) was used to document rapid weight loss in a group of distressed pygmy killer whales off Maui in 2019.
Children are particularly vulnerable to the negative health effects of sugary drinks, yet prior to a recent law aimed at improving healthy options for Hawaiʻi’s keiki, it was rare to find healthy beverages as a “default” option with kids’ meals in Hawaiʻi restaurants.
Researchers have created 3D molecular maps of bacteria, viruses and biochemicals across coral colonies along with their interacting organisms such as algae and other competing corals.
Astronomers at the W. M. Keck Observatory on Maunakea are part of a team that came across a very rare find nestled billions of light years away that could help to quantify the universe.
The 2018 Kīlauea eruption in Hawaiʻi provided scientists with an unprecedented opportunity to identify new factors that could help forecast the hazard potential of future eruptions.
Adding coffee pulp to forest floors dramatically restored deteriorating tropical forests in Costa Rica. That’s according to new research from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.
