Humans perceive everyday things and experiences differently and attach different meaning to pieces of music, for instance. In the case of psychiatric…
Functional disorders in organs that manifest in conjunction with tumors are called paraneoplastic syndromes. These syndromes are not caused by the primary…
Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever is cause by the Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic virus (CCHFV). Ruminants constitute the primary viral reservoir. CCHFV is…
Performed with rat and human cancer tissue, the study looked at five changes seen in a tumor's environment as it develops, grows and spreads. There are…
It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words, but new images of structural fibers inside a cell may represent more than a million words from hundreds of…
The German research foundation DFG (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) has granted 750,000 euros for the research project “Creation of intense positron pulses on…
New research from Caltech now shows that the activation of face cells depends highly on where you are paying attention–it is not enough for a face to simply…
The Hubble constant — the rate at which the Universe is expanding — is one of the fundamental quantities describing our Universe. A group of astronomers, the…
In the cold depths along the sea floor, Antarctic Bottom Waters are part of a global circulatory system, supplying oxygen-, carbon- and nutrient-rich waters to…
Polyhedral boranes, or clusters of boron atoms bound to hydrogen atoms, are transforming the biomedical industry. These manmade materials have become the basis…
Did water arrive on Earth at an early stage of the planet’s evolution? Or did it come later, as a result of the impact of comets? Both hypotheses are the…
Food is scarce in the deep sea. Thus, morsels of organic matter sinking to the sea floor can form an important food source for many organisms and lead to the…
Citizens have long been interested in criminal cases and keen to help the police solve them. What’s new is that people are increasingly combining these…
The potential applications of this breakthrough are numerous. The imprinted designs could be used to impart certain optical effects on a fiber or make it…
For decades, scientists have tried to halt cancer by blocking nutrients from reaching tumor cells, in essence starving tumor cells of the fuel needed to grow…
The increased use of synthetic chemicals, including pesticides and pharmaceuticals to attack unwanted organisms, has outpaced the rates of change in rising…
