A multidisciplinary group that includes the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the University of Washington at Tacoma has developed a novel…
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are among the “hottest” targets for the therapy of diseases such as hypertension, asthma or Parkinson´s. These receptors…
When species interact with each other, they do not evolve separately, but do so together. This process is called coevolution. Natural selection favors…
The search goes on. No difference in protons and antiprotons have yet been found which would help to potentially explain the existence of matter in our…
Researchers at the University of Tübingen have become the first to keep human brain tissue alive outside the body for serveral weeks. The researchers, headed…
Anything that influences proteins can have wide-ranging consequences. After all, they are the workhorses of every cell, in that they carry messages, form…

A recent study led by Brown University geologists offers a potential bridge between the “warm and wet” story told by Martian geology and the “cold and icy”…
Astrophysicist Chris Fryer was enjoying an evening with friends on August 25, 2017, when he got the news of a gravitational-wave detection by LIGO, the Laser…
Now, a research team led by Eva Dyer, a computational neuroscientist and electrical engineer, has imaged brains at that map-like or “meso” scale using the most…
Optical frequency combs are widely-used, high-precision tools for measuring and detecting different frequencies — a.k.a. colors — of light. Unlike…
The demand for miniaturization in medical devices continues to grow rapidly. Especially in devices for mobile diagnostics, therapy and laboratories, reliable…
When it comes to extracting natural gas or producing biogas, it's all about the methane. But methane is never found in its pure form. Natural gas, for…
Killer T cells are a powerful weapon of the immune system. Following a viral infection, for instance, they swarm out in huge numbers and destroy all of the…
