In a new study, researchers have discovered how a system of proteins, called TamAB, helps Salmonella survive under the harsh conditions inside macrophages.
Tidal range schemes can protect estuaries and coastal areas from the effects of sea level rise, according to researchers who say that tidal range schemes are vital to protect habitats, housing and businesses from a rising sea level estimated to be over one metre within 80 years. High tides can be limited to existing levels simply by closing sluices and turbines and existing low tide levels can be maintained by pumping. Development of estuarine barrages has been hampered by misconceptions about their operation and fears of disturbance of the ecologically sensitive intertidal areas.
In a new study, researchers demonstrate that deregulation of a protein called RBFOX2, involved in RNA splicing, contributes to the progression and metastasis of pancreatic cancer.
A recent study explored a new way to ease the transition with an art therapy intervention to address the health needs of overweight, postmenopausal women.
Clothes and other textiles are among the materials that we are the worst at recycling. But this may change. Researchers have developed a new technology that can separate out fibers in mixed fabrics.
An international team of scientists has uncovered the ocean's intricate web of microbial interactions across depths. Their research provides crucial insights into the functioning of ocean ecosystems.
For individuals who experience chronic pain, weather can be a significant factor in their day-to-day plans. In a recent study, about 70 percent of respondents said they would alter their behavior based on weather-based pain forecasts.
A study of children and youth with diabetes concludes that so-called autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) diabetic eye exams significantly increase completion rates of screenings designed to prevent potentially blinding diabetes eye diseases (DED).
Research is helping shed light on the important interaction between users and remote drivers that oversee the operation of automated vehicles.
As they grow, children increasingly focus their attention on social elements in their environment, such as faces or social interactions. However, children with autism are often more interested in non-social stimuli, such as textures or geometric shapes. By tracking where children look while viewing a cartoon, researchers have revealed that attention in autistic children does not follow the same developmental trajectory as that of typically developing children. Instead, they each gradually develop their own unique attentional preferences.
As individuals age, maintaining muscular health becomes increasingly crucial, where the loss of muscle mass and strength is linked to a higher risk of falls and reduced physical activity. Now, researchers from Japan have developed a practical and accessible muscular health monitoring system based on phase angle measurements currently used to monitor body composition. This method can play a pivotal role in promoting overall well-being for the older population.
A new study finds that, contrary to previous beliefs, large amounts of aerosol particles can form over vast areas of the West Siberian taiga in the spring. When temperatures rise, this can have a significant impact on the climate.
Researchers have developed a sensor array design technology inspired by the human auditory system. By mimicking the human ear's ability to distinguish sounds through tonotopy, this innovative sensor array approach could optimize the application of sensor arrays in fields such as robotics, aviation, healthcare, and industrial machinery.
Researchers have identified a novel pharmaceutical compound that successfully kills leukemia and lymphoma cancer cells, potentially paving the way for new forms of therapy.
Wastewater surveillance is a potent tool in understanding COVID-19 transmission within school settings and keeping schools open when COVID cases spike, according to a new study.
A newly developed PET imaging agent has been found to be effective in identifying medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) in preclinical and clinical studies. The results of the studies indicate that the PET imaging agent may be a promising theranostic candidate for clinical use.
Using CRISPR/Cas9, scientists identified RBM5 as a vital component of leukemia cell fitness, making it a promising target for drug development.
Researchers are tapping into idled electric vehicles to act as mobile generators and help power overworked and aging electricity grids. After analyzing energy demand on Alberta's power grid during rush hour, the research proposes an innovative way to replenish electrical grids with power generated from fuel cells in trucks.
A groundbreaking 3D, three-layer nanomatrix vascular sheet that possesses multiple features of atherosclerosis has been applied for developing a high-throughput functional assay of drug candidates to treat this disease, researchers report.
New research concludes novel ideas tend to generate conflicting evaluations because people lack common points of reference from which to judge them. Such mixed reviews lead to negative perceptions about the idea's usefulness, resulting in missed opportunities to drive innovation.
