ANCIENT MIGRATION An international research team jointly lead by Globe Institute show one of the earliest modern humans migrations out of Africa. The study is published in Nature Communications.
Professor Arda Gozen looks to a future someday in which doctors can hit a button to print out a scaffold on their 3D printers and create custom-made replacement skin, cartilage, or other tissue for their patients.
Dog breeds differ in pain sensitivity, but these differences don’t always match up with the beliefs people – including veterinarians – hold about breed-specific pain sensitivity.
The results could help turn up unconventional superconducting materials.
Washington State University researchers have shown the fundamental mechanisms that allow tiny pieces of plastic bags and foam packaging at the nanoscale to move through the environment.
Researchers have developed a computer model that forecasts yield for four key crops in the southeastern United States: cotton, corn, sorghum, and soybeans.
THE SKIN Our skin contains specialised long-lived killer cells that can protect against intruders or cause inflammatory skin diseases. Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden and the University of Copenhagen in Denmark have now identified how these cells are formed and shown that people with better survival in melanoma have high levels of such memory killer cells in cancer tissue.
Dogs who slow down physically also slow down mentally, according to a new study from North Carolina State University.
Nature’s strongest material now has some stiff competition.
Scientists find a protein common to flies and people is essential for supporting the structure of axons that neurons project to make circuit connections.
A breakthrough in superconductivity has landed a WSU grad in the latest Time Magazine list of top innovators.
The device could help scientists explore unknown regions of the ocean, track pollution, or monitor the effects of climate change.
GUT Some people live longer than others – possibly due to a unique combination of bacteria in their intestines, new research from the University of Copenhagen concludes.
Loss of biodiversity in the face of climate change is a growing worldwide concern.
In the year of the limu (edible water plant), four new species of Hawaiian red algae discovered in different areas across the Hawaiian Islands have been named and scientifically described by a team of international scientists, led by experts from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.
While many people know that rat lungworm disease can be spread to humans by slugs and snails, new research shows those creatures are not the only ones that have been transmitting the illness.
With updated COVID-19 boosters being recommended to provide increased protection against the circulating omicron variant, a new paper by University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa and Waiʻanae Coast Comprehensive Health Center (WCCHC) researchers is shedding light on who is getting booster shots in Hawaiʻi, and how trust and consumption of different information sources affect that decision.
More than half of known human pathogenic diseases such as dengue, hepatitis, pneumonia, malaria, Zika and more, can be aggravated by climate change.
The keys to saving endangered species and improving the ecology of our communities may be found in thousands of microbiomes and microbes examined by researchers from the ocean to the summit of the Waimea Valley watershed on Oʻahu.
What does our universe look like at the largest size scales? A team of researchers from the University of Hawaiʻi Institute for Astronomy (IfA) and Eötvös Loránd University in Hungary has produced a massive new catalog of high-fidelity distance estimates to more than 350 million galaxies, revealing the soap-bubble structure of the universe in detail.
