The DNA helix within all living cells carries the template or code for the production of the many different proteins essential for life.
Case study of weather triggering the 2017 crisis points to how atmospheric rivers are impacted by global warming
Researchers have identified a species of milkweed that holds promise for planting on roadsides to improve conservation habitat for migrating monarch butterflies.
The icefields that stretch for hundreds of miles atop the Andes mountain range in Chile and Argentina are melting at some of the fastest rates on the planet. The ground that was beneath this ice is also shifting and rising as these glaciers disappear.
Fresh off successful direct involvement in NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and Parker Solar Probe (PSP) in roles that included optics, hardware, software, testing analytics, computational modeling and big data processing and dissemination, The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) is looking beyond the sky again.
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.
Curtin researchers have developed a new technique by studying the age of ancient grains of sand from beaches, rivers and rocks from around the world to reveal previously hidden details of the Earth’s distant geological past.
A new data analysis tool developed by Yale researchers has revealed the specific immune cell types associated with increased risk of death from COVID-19, they report Feb. 28 in the journal Nature Biotechnology.
Tracing connections between neuron populations could help researchers map brain circuits that underlie behavior and perception.
A study coordinated by a research group at the University of Helsinki paves the way for cell therapies for diabetes.
One of the grand challenges with using CRISPR-based gene editing on humans is that the molecular machinery sometimes makes changes to the wrong section of a host’s genome, creating the possibility that an attempt to repair a genetic mutation in one spot in the genome could accidentally create a dangerous new mutation in another.
Texas A&M associate professor Pushkar Lele is researching how H. pylori invade and cause infections.
The field of animal ecology has entered the era of big data and the Internet of Things.
An international consortium of medical scientists has launched the Global Research Alliance in Infectious Diseases, GRAID, to help train local researchers to quickly sequence potential pathogens in developing countries.
UH Researcher Receives $2M Grant to Innovate Computer-aided Drug Discovery for Breast Cancer
In recent years, great advances have been made in the development of new successful immunotherapies to treat cancer. CAR T-cell therapy and antibody treatments are two types of targeted immunotherapies that have revolutionised areas of cancer care.
Sleep apnea, a common disorder in which a person repeatedly stops and starts breathing while they sleep — often hundreds of times per night — is a growing problem in pregnancy.
Menopause marks the end of a woman’s fertility, but it can also bring about a slew of other — often baffling — changes, from weight gain to brain fog.
Coral reefs connected by larvae dispersal networks have been found to benefit local fisheries and biodiversity conservation, prompting recommendations to increase the protection of connected reefs.
Melt rates measured at the base of the ice sheet are several orders of magnitude higher than previous estimates
