A new study suggests that grape pomace can be a rich source of antioxidants, which may help prevent coronary heart disease. The researchers extracted compounds called phenolics from red grape pomace and found them to significantly retard the oxidation of human low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or bad cholesterol.
Researchers at Boston University and Japan's University of Tokyo found evidence that neutrinos possess mass, contradicting the standard theory of particle physics. This discovery may impact our understanding of the universe's expansion and potential unification of particles and forces.
Research reveals that glutamate receptors, key mediators of brain cell communication, form tetramers similar to voltage-gated potassium channels. The discovery challenges previous theories on how ligand-gated receptors become activated by neurotransmitters.
Scientists have identified KasA, a critical protein in bacterial growth, as the target of isoniazid. This discovery enables the development of new anti-TB drugs and fast-screening assays to combat antibiotic-resistant strains.
A team of astrophysicists and computer scientists has captured the entire observable universe in a computer simulation, depicting how gravity gathered ripples from the big bang into cosmic structures. This unprecedented model aims to better interpret data from large surveys and understand rarest structures in the cosmos.
A new protein called HveC has been discovered that allows both Herpes Simplex-1 and -2, as well as animal herpesviruses, to infect human cells. This receptor has the broadest activity among the identified co-receptors, enabling entry of multiple strains of herpesviruses into various cell types.
