As odd as it sounds, many scientists have attempted to place extremely small diamonds inside living cells.

New Method Facilitates Development Of Antibody-Based Drugs

In recent years, therapeutic antibodies have transformed the treatment of cancer and autoimmune diseases.

Bird Parents That Receive Help Live Longer

Long life is common among bird parents that get help with childcare.

New Clinical Method Could Lower Risk Of Recurring Heart Attacks

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden can now show that a new examination method identifies high-risk plaques in the blood vessels surrounding the heart, that cannot be seen solely with traditional angiograms

Patients With Cardiovascular Disease Less Likely to Use Wearable Devices to Track Health Status

A recent study in JAMA Network Open found that fewer than 1 in 4 people with or at risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) use wearable devices, and only half of those who wear them do so consistently.

Cost-Effectiveness of Equity-Enhancing Gene Therapy in Sickle Cell Disease

A new study led by George Goshua, MD, MSc, assistant professor of medicine (hematology), examines the cost effectiveness of gene therapy against standard-of-care treatment for patients with sickle cell disease (SCD), using both conventional cost-effective analysis (CEA) and distributional cost-effective analysis (DCEA) methodology, an approach that takes health equity into quantitative consideration.

Physicists Bring Human-Scale Object To Near Standstill, Reaching A Quantum State

The results open possibilities for studying gravity’s effects on relatively large objects in quantum states.

Researchers Crack The Code To Muscle Generation

PROTEIN Loss of muscle mass presents a challenge especially among hospitalized elderly. It complicates treatment, rehabilitation and may result in reduced quality of life after bring discharged. However, researchers from the University of Copenhagen have recently identified a protein that the body uses to generate muscle mass and have even succeeded in artificially triggering it.

Yale Researchers Address Out-of-Pocket Prescription Costs

The increasingly prohibitive cost of prescription medications continues to pose major challenges to the U.S. health care system, leading to poor medication adherence, suboptimal clinical outcomes, and the ever-growing costs of care.

Physicists Uncover Secrets Of World’s Thinnest Superconductor

First experimental evidence of spin excitations in an atomically thin material helps answer 30-year-old questions, could lead to better medical diagnostics and more.

Study Shows Osimertinib Improves Survival Following Surgery for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

A new study led by Yale Cancer Center shows improved rates of survival and reduced risk of recurrence in patients with non-small cell lung cancer taking osimertinib (TAGRISSO), a targeted therapy, following surgery.

Fur Trading In Viking Age Denmark Is Now Proven: ‘The Black Furs Are Worn By Arab And Non-Arab Kings’

VIKINGS For the first time, researchers from the University of Copenhagen have found 'smoking gun' evidence that Denmark participated in international fur trading in the Viking Age. Fur was an international status symbol for the elite, says researcher behind the study

Advances In Technology Are Driving Popularity of EVs

New research by YSE Professor Kenneth Gillingham found that the recent increase in electric vehicle adoption is due largely to technological improvements such as increased battery range and faster charging.

How Can Evolutionary and Biological Anthropologists Engage Broader Audiences?

With our diverse training, theoretical and empirical toolkits, and rich data, evolutionary and biological anthropologists (EBAs) have much to contribute to research and policy decisions about climate change and other pressing social issues.

Engineered Yeast Could Expand Biofuels’ Reach

By making the microbes more tolerant to toxic byproducts, researchers show they can use a wider range of feedstocks, beyond corn.

The Researchers Who Look Into The Tiniest Part Of A Cell

It is a cold, grey November day in 2018 when we meet the researchers from Lund University at MAX IV, a research facility with the world's brightest and most focused X-rays
