Researchers at Oregon State University recently outlined the latest findings on reduced height growth in trees through genetic modification, and concluded that…
Bats are the only mammals that can fly. There are more than 1,000 species. In fact, 1 in 5 mammals is a bat. And in the fall, bats often migrate hundreds of…
“You can use light to image the topography and you can use light to sculpture the topography,” said electrical and computer engineering professor Gabriel…
Partnerships can pay off when it comes to converting solar into chemical energy. By modeling a cadmium sulfide (CdS)–zinc sulfide (ZnS) alloy with special…
New research published in BioMed Central's open access journal Clinical Epigenetics finds that people with a genetic polymorphism (A2191G) in sirtuin1 (SIRT1),…
Several new first-in-man studies for drugs targeted against a range of cancers were released at the ESMO 2012 Congress of the European Society for Medical…
As researchers have uncovered more and more of these “epigenetic” tags, they have begun to wonder how they are all connected. Now, research from the University…
Now Stanford University School of Medicine scientists have found that blocking the action of a single protein whose levels in our immune cells creep steadily…
Many malignant solid tumors generally develop a higher interstitial fluid pressure (IFP) than normal tissue. High IFP in tumors may cause a reduced uptake of…
“The approach to the workup and management of low back pain by physicians and other practitioners is inconstant. In fact, there is significant variability in…
Toronto researchers found that the proportion of stroke patients with at least mild cognitive impairment dropped from 66 per cent to 37 per cent during a…
Rehabilitation robots improve detection of post-stroke impairments and can enhance the type and intensity of therapy required for recovery, according to a…
For the first time, researchers have conducted a large trial in which they tested the entire genome of individual breast cancers to help personalize treatment….
