Nevertheless, despite this shared mechanism, each of these diseases is unique, as are the brain areas affected, and to understand them is crucial to identify…
In one of the projects, experts at Aston's Photonics Research Group will use ultraviolet laser radiation to create sensing devices known as fibre Bragg…
A review, recently published in the international journal 'Addiction', concludes that when smokers abstain from smoking, exercise can help them to manage…
The finding may help define the role of cancer stem cells in the growth and recurrence of the disease as well as offer new options for cancer prevention,…
Recent work of a team led by Stoyno Stoynov, working at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, suggests that thermodynamic stability of DNA/DNA and RNA/DNA…
Intracellular [Ca2+]i homeostasis is essential for normal cardiac function and integrity, and dysregulation of [Ca2+]i is a hallmark of advanced heart…
This finding is supported by two papers published in this month’s BJS. Both pieces of research were led by Peter Holt, who works at St George’s Hospital,…
Scientists at Iowa Sate University recently discovered that simply looking at soil color is reasonably as accurate as time-consuming and expensive laboratory…

Why cystic ductal pancreatic cancer behaves differently, despite carrying the same basic genetic mutations as the more common and deadly type of ductal…
Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) hold great promise for benefiting degenerative diseases, and do so by invoking multiple mechanisms. Such cells can be grown…
Although the extreme conditions specific to astrophysical and geophysical environments cannot all be reproduced in the laboratory, the magnetic field observed…
The research team, headed by electrical and computer engineering Professor David Anderson and research assistant John Canik, recently proved that the Helically…
Rice University chemists have discovered that tiny building blocks known as gold nanorods spontaneously assemble themselves into ring-like superstructures. This finding, which will be published as the inside cover article of the March 19 international edition of the chemistry journal Angewandte Chemie, could potentially lead to the development of novel nanodevices like highly sensitive optical sensors, superlenses, and even invisible objects for use in the military….
Cuttlefish are well-known masters of disguise who use highly developed camouflage tactics to blend in almost instantaneously with their surroundings. These…
