Researchers discovered a previously unknown cellular communication method between neurons and immune cells in neuropathic pain. Blocking this method could prevent neuropathic pain without side effects.
Researchers from Princeton University and Uppsala University report the origin of a new lineage of Darwin's finches through hybridization between two distinct species. The study reveals that reproductive isolation was established in just two generations, with the new lineage becoming ecologically competitive and unique.
Researchers at Lomonosov Moscow State University discovered a new method of destroying cancer cells through a process called entosis, where one cell invades and digests another. The study reveals the five stages of entosis, which involves changes in structural and functional characteristics of both cells.
Researchers at Kyushu University developed a method to tune the fluorescence wavelength of carbon nanotubes by tethering organic molecules. This enables fine control over the emission wavelength, with potential applications in biomedical devices and bioimaging.
A recent publication found that women with abnormal vaginal microbiota and undergoing IVF have a significantly lower chance of becoming pregnant compared to those with a normal Lactobacillus-dominated vaginal microbiota. Fertility clinics are now treating abnormal vaginal bacteria in women undergoing IVF to improve reproductive outcomes.
Researchers at Western University have developed a method to forecast tornadoes with 90% accuracy within a 100-kilometre radius by adding high-altitude turbulence data. This breakthrough could buy up to 20 minutes of additional warning time.
Researchers demonstrate fast and scalable holonomic quantum computation using Nitrogen-vacancy center electron spins in diamond, enabling high-fidelity operations with all-optical control. This work represents the first such achievement in solid-state quantum systems.
Research reveals a connection between genetic innate immunity deficiencies and high-risk children for dental caries. Children with defective salivary proteins are more susceptible to caries, even without bad eating habits or oral hygiene routines.
Researchers have developed a high-speed quantum encryption system that can transmit encryption codes five to 10 times faster than existing methods, potentially securing the future of the internet. The system uses photons of light and advanced detectors to encode and decode keys, making it secure from common attacks even with imperfect ...
Researchers from UNIGE and Roma Tre used thermal and experimental models to explain caldera resurgence, a process that prevents volcanic eruptions. The leftover magma behaves like a 'rubber sheet' due to its higher viscosity, stopping the new magma from reaching the surface.
Researchers discovered that flies can carry hundreds of different species of bacteria, many of which are harmful to humans. The study found that the legs and wings of flies have the highest microbial diversity.
Researchers at Kyushu University used spectro-electrochemistry to investigate the frequency shifts in infrared fluorescence of modified carbon nanotubes. They found that the gaps between electron energy levels depend on the elements bonded to the exterior of the nanotubes.
A new study suggests that understanding rainfall patterns is key to effectively addressing food insecurity among smallholder farms in Africa and Asia. Financial supports, such as cash or loans, were more frequently correlated with improved food security for drier farms, while agricultural inputs and practices were more effective for we...
Researchers found that flies can carry hundreds of different species of bacteria, including those harmful to humans. They propose using germ-free flies to pick up latent microbiomes and sequence them for early warning systems, useful in agriculture and public health surveillance.
Researchers at Berkeley Lab and Argonne National Laboratory have discovered a new class of solid conductors that can transport magnesium ions at unprecedented speed. This breakthrough has the potential to make solid-state magnesium-ion batteries more energy dense, safe, and fire-resistant.
Scientists from Tomsk Polytechnic University have developed a new tool for biomedical research that uses graphene oxide to create surfaces suitable for immobilizing living cells. This technology will allow for the creation of flexible diagnostic devices implanted under the skin, and can help in the development of biosensors.
