While megakaryocytes are best known for producing platelets that heal wounds, these “mega” cells found in bone marrow also play a critical role in regulating…
Scientists are reporting that a wall of water up to nine meters (30 feet) high surged onto Hawaiian shores about 500 years ago. A 9.0-magnitude earthquake off…
Crucial experiments to develop a novel probe of cellular electrical activity were conducted in the Neurobiology course at the Marine Biological Laboratory…
They’re called “bluefin” killifish, but the first thing University of Illinois animal biology professor Rebecca Fuller noticed while she was snorkeling in a…
From more efficient database queries to the cracking of today's reliable cryptographic systems: The development of a competitive quantum computer would mark…
The WB-57 aircraft flew over Hurricane Gonzalo on Oct. 15 carrying two HS3 mission instruments called HIWRAP and HIRAD in addition to a new Office of Naval…
Think of CD8 T cells as soldiers who are drafted and trained for a specific mission, but who stay in service, fighting a variety of enemies throughout a long…
The research shows that middle-aged adults who had a history of depression tended to evaluate their past and current lives in more negative terms than did…
A team of UC San Francisco researchers has found that a tiny segment of genetic material known as a microRNA plays a central role in the transition from…
Patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) may at last be able to hope for a brighter future as innovative new treatments emerge and researchers clarify the…
A new study shows that survival and neurological outcomes for patients in cardiac arrest can be improved by adding extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)…
The test procedure demonstrates the efficacy of substances and/or methods which eliminate infectivity using several quantitative measurement parameters (HBsAg, HBeAg, mRNA, cccDNA) for the detection of HBV infection after a titer reduction by more than 4 log 10 steps and is, thus, the first HBV infectivity test to meet the new guidelines of the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) and the German Association for the Control of Virus Diseases (DVV) for the efficacy of disinfectants and virus-inactivating procedures.
Diamondoids are molecules whose framework structure represents a section of the diamond lattice. Due to their size in the range of 0.5 ? 2 nm, they can be considered as ?nano diamonds? with a hydrogen-terminated surface. Despite their small size, they comprise several properties which are characteristic for diamonds, such as a negative electron affinity and, in particular, chemical inertness.
In a consortium with the construction company Mortenson Construction, Siemens will be supplying both converter stations for the Bipole III HVDC project….
A drug being studied as a fast-acting mood-lifter restored pleasure-seeking behavior independent of – and ahead of – its other antidepressant effects, in a…
