In about a fifth of the cases of Parkinson’s disease, look to a small, malfunctioning protein in the lysosome as a risk factor, say University of Michigan researchers.
In the early 1960s, University of Michigan alumnus Marshall Nirenberg and a few other scientists deciphered the genetic code of life, determining the rules by which information in DNA molecules is translated into proteins, the working parts of living cells.
Passive solar evaporation system could be used to clean wastewater, provide potable water, or sterilize medical tools in off-grid areas.
A new analysis offers guidance on the size of nanoparticles that could be most effective at stopping internal bleeding.
New research suggests that a tapeworm often found in the gut microbiome of Atlantic Salmon, commonly used for aquaculture, serves as host for its own microbial community, potentially rewriting the ways parasitic infections of host animals should be handled.
The material could replace rare metals and lead to more economical production of carbon-neutral fuels.

A new methodology simulates counterfactual, time-varying, and dynamic treatment strategies, allowing doctors to choose the best course of action.
Despite dramatic improvements in air quality over the past 50 years, people of color at every income level in the United States are exposed to higher-than-average levels of air pollution.
A newly published study has found a method to extract reliable insights into host population genetics through a two-step imputation of intestinal and faecal samples.
Scientists at the University of Washington and Emory University report that an antibiotic sprayed on orchard crops to combat bacterial diseases slows the cognition of bumblebees and reduces their foraging efficiency.
Experiments aboard International Space Station demonstrate a potential solution for cleaning up orbital debris and repairing damaged satellites.
In a new study published in Nature Communications, researchers from the University of Copenhagen apply a new technique allowing them to disentangle 500 million-years-old rocks millimeter-by-millimeter, resolving the deposition of these rocks at the scale of millennia and thus setting completely new standards for determining actual time in the ancient rock record.
SMART researchers find explanation for why some patients might experience diarrhea after taking amoxicillin-clavulanate.
Everyone knows eating fruits and vegetables is good for your health. But these days, stores offer a dizzying array of options: organic, conventional, CSAs, local agriculture. Which ones are best for your health?
A new technique boosts models’ ability to reduce bias, even if the dataset used to train the model is unbalanced.
Climate change causes species to track the changing climate and affects their interactions in biological communities. A new study using large-scale data from plant-hummingbird networks helps to improve our understanding of how biological communities will react to future climate conditions.
Researchers find similarities between how some computer-vision systems process images and how humans see out of the corners of our eyes.
Using powerful tools and techniques developed in the field of structural biology, researchers at the University of Washington and Scripps Research have discovered new details about the human immunodeficiency virus, HIV.
European green crabs feast on shellfish, destroy marsh habitats by burrowing in the mud and obliterate valuable seagrass beds.
