A University of Colorado Denver team of researchers have discovered a new way to form liquid crystal elastomers into material that has the potential to match the properties of tissues such as cartilage.
Neuroscientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) may have made a breakthrough in understanding Alzheimer’s, involving a molecular pathway for which there are already medicines approved by the Food and Drug Administration that can suppress it.
Stanford University researchers have demonstrated the ability of their engineered, artificial synapsis to communicate with living cells, a potential step in creating computers that can interface directly with the human brain.
The data on COVID-19 changes from day-to-day, and researchers say that initial estimates of the number of novel coronavirus infections that led to death from COVID-19 may have been overestimated, because of the small sample size they obtained data for early in the outbreak.
Conspiracy theories are nothing new and it’s not unusual for people to jump and embrace them during stressful times, like the current realities of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Artificial intelligence has been introduced in the fight against COVID-19 and shows promise in identifying the level of infection suffered by patients.
Emory University scientists have found nearly all of those hospitalized from COVID-19 develop virus-neutralizing antibodies within six days of testing positive.
Subrena Smith had no idea she would spark a scientific discussion with the publication of an article. But that’s how things have evolved.
Immunotherapy drug combination is being reviewed for approval under new FDA pilot program
Researchers at UCLA have discovered a nanomachine that could work like an antibiotic, recognizing and killing bacteria.
Antibody testing in Santa Clara County, Calif. has raised questions about the official figures related to COVID-19 infections, according to a report published in the journal Nature on April 17.
Plasma from recovered coronavirus patients, also known as convalescent plasma, has antibodies to COVID-19 that potentially could aid in treatment.
Dental issues are distinctly a human issue, and according to dental anthropologist Peter S Ungar, most vertebrate creatures do not have crooked teeth, cavities or gum disease.
Researchers from the Molecular Cryo-Electron Microscopy Unit at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) have discovered the structure of adhesive pili which attaches bacterial cells to the host, and the role they play in gum disease. In Japan, more than 75 percent of adults over the age of 35 have gum disease, which is caused primarily by the bacterial pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis.
Orphan genes, or taxonomically restricted genes have been a curious thing for researchers. They’ve been the topic of a study published in eLife on Feb. 18, 2020.
A paper published in Genome Biology and Evolution explored the 2013 ENCODE Project’s assertion that 80 percent of the Human genome is functional.
