A discovery made in a new study helps to identify poor response tumours already prior chemotherapy is applied and opens new avenues for the development of combination therapies.
A research group at the University of Helsinki has discovered the logic that controls gene regulation in human cells. In the future, this new knowledge can be applied to, for example, investigating cancers and other genetic diseases.
Different types of these branch-like projections process incoming information in different ways before sending it to the body of the neuron.
Research in languages other than English is critically important for biodiversity conservation and is shockingly under-utilised internationally, according to an international research team.
MIT researchers find activating a specific acetylcholine receptor in the brain reduces cocaine use in rodents.
New research conducted by the University of Houston Conrad N. Hilton College of Global Hospitality Leadership suggests the Black Lives Matter movement had a significant, positive impact on the fundraising efforts of Black restaurateurs.
Xingpeng Li Recognized for Work Focused on Improving Critical Power Systems.
Syndrome is a Leading Cause of Combined Deafness-Blindness
A new study explores large-scale relationships between vegetation and climatic characteristics using machine learning. The findings highlight the importance of climatic extremes in shaping the distribution of several major vegetation types
A study coordinated by a research group at the University of Helsinki paves the way for cell therapies for diabetes.
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.
Improving structural connectivity of urban ponds is important for building networks between ponds and enhancing pond biodiversity, indicates a recent study carried out at the University of Helsinki.
Deep snow cover increases the number of wintering birds near human settlements but reduces numbers in arable fields, according to a new study at the University of Helsinki.
Researchers develop a framework for guarding against the potential harms of AI that also overcomes the inflexible nature of government regulation.
A new study from the Texas A&M School of Medicine uncovers a brain circuit involved in opioid addiction and relapse, paving the way for better treatments.
From engineering to the humanities, experts agree that artificial intelligence technology is here to stay. But how can we maximize its benefits while avoiding ethical pitfalls and unintended consequences?
A new deep-learning algorithm trained to optimize doses of propofol to maintain unconsciousness during general anesthesia could augment patient monitoring.
Researchers with the KATRIN experiment determine that neutrinos are lighter than 0.8 eV/c2.
A recent study led by researchers from the University of Antwerp, the Institute of Vertebrate Biology (IVB) of the Czech Academy of Sciences and the Sokoine University of Agriculture in Morogoro screened 1225 rodents and shrews in Tanzania for mammarenavirus RNA, revealing mammarenaviruses might be even more specific than usually thought. The researchers associate taxa below the species level rather than rodent species with certain mammarenaviruses. Host genetic structure may thus be crucial to understand in which rodent reservoirs in which geographic regions we can expect to find them.
Single-cell gene expression analyses of human cerebrovascular cells can help reveal new drug targets for Huntington’s disease.
