Psoriasis, a chronic inflammatory skin disease, has long been known to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, which includes heart attack and stroke.
Carbon monoxide poisoning and driving through floodwaters cause injury and death after storms.
ASM leadership elected a new president, board and council members, which will start serving their term on July 1, 2021.
A post-mortem analysis of brain tissue from people who had been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) may help explain enduring mysteries about the disorder, such as why women are more susceptible to it and whether a dampened immune system response plays a role in dealing with stress, a team headed by Yale University and the VA’s National Center for PTSD (NCPTSD) researchers has found.
The new device can continuously sense levels of virtually any protein or molecule in the blood. The researchers say it could be transformative for disease detection, patient monitoring and biomedical research.
An international team of researchers has identified several genetic variants in critically ill COVID-19 patients that are potential targets for new therapies or repurposing of existing drugs.
A team of mathematical researchers has created a model for estimating which preventive measures work best to minimize the spread of COVID-19 at different types of events.
Humans are not the only apex predator to dramatically change its environment, University of Minnesota researchers say in a recently published study.
Using single-molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer (smFRET), researchers have come closer to understanding the mechanics of DNA bending on a genome-wide scale.
A science group wrote a letter to Congress members on the fiscal year 2021 appropriations and research relief, urging the chambers to complete appropriations bills as soon as possible, so there are no more disruptions to science and research.
A new iPhone app developed by researchers at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) in Long Island, New York, enables scientists and others to access a hand-held mobile genetics laboratory in the field.
The California Institute of Technology-led small spacecraft mission to investigate water on the Moon has final design and build approval from NASA.
Pairs of friends were given the illusion of switching bodies as part of a new study and when individuals' personalities synced with their friend's, researchers concluded that beliefs about our personalities are flexible and perceptions of our physical and mental selves help encode our memories.
Drawing inspiration from the bacteria living in hydrothermal vents, scientists at Rice University developed a new process to produce hydrocarbons, a component used in drug and agrochemical production.
A new curriculum developed and tested at MSU puts the focus on the physics that life scientists need
The game app hexxed may cast a spell on players who have to figure out the rules of the game and what the goal is. Neuroscientists hope to use player strategies to understand how people solve problems compared to how artificial intelligence solves problems.
After the Big Bang, a series of first gravitational waves rippled through the universe, which caused the universe to expand.
A study looking at the safety and performance of a new pulmonary valved conduit provided "encouraging clinical results."
A team of researchers from Texas A&M University has discovered a hidden gene, embedded within another gene, in the group of bacteriophages called leviviruses. They report that the hidden gene is rapidly evolving and thus holds the potential for understanding and preventing antibiotic resistance.
Finding a way to preserve antibiotic effectiveness and simultaneously prevent antibiotic resistance can help stop the spread of infectious diseases, especially in hospital settings. Many important antibiotics, however, no longer work against certain bacterial infections because bacteria have developed mutations to make them antibiotic resistant.
