Researchers have successfully produced a 3D image of a silicon crystalline sample using coherent X-rays from new synchrotron sources. This breakthrough enables high-resolution imaging of complex materials, such as biominerals and functional magnetic crystals, with unprecedented detail.
Researchers tested if mothers' oral microbiome seeds a cariogenic community in children. They found that bacteria correlated between mothers and children were associated with lower risk of Early Childhood Caries (ECC). The study suggests poor maternal oral health may influence ECC risk through transmission of microbes.
Researchers found that aesthetically appealing experiences trigger fast gamma waves after a one-second delay, indicating active meaning formation. Alpha waves were also observed, reflecting increased attention for high- or low-rated artworks.
Researchers detect Sars-CoV-2 mRNA in human retina organoids, indicating infection of retinal cells. The virus also replicates in these cell types, with implications for 'Long Covid' pathologies.
