The research team examined 33 healthy adult participants in their study. One group of 22 volunteers was studied during the 2014-2015 flu season, and the second…
Lakes play an important role in the global carbon cycle, acting as large natural bioreactors. The temperature of a lake represents an important constraint on…
Plants can do many amazing things. Among their talents, they can manufacture compounds that help them repel pests, attract pollinators, cure infections and…
Imagine that you are watching a crowded hang-gliding competition, keeping track of a red and orange glider’s skillful movements. Our brain uses separate…
Silicon solar cells rely on metal electrodes on their front and rear sides to carry the electrical energy generated in the semiconductor material from light…
In a paper in Science this week, Penn researchers report the first detailed molecular characterization of how every cell changes during animal embryonic…
“Streptococcal toxic shock syndrome is an acute condition like meningococcus – if you get exposed to the organism you can be dead within a matter of days or…
Several neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s are closely linked to the aggregation of a specific protein, α-synuclein. An international collaborative…
Researchers at Technische Universität Kaiserslautern have developed a novel tool for tracking and manipulating long-term memories as they are stored in the…
Any agreement which entails benefits for both sides is called a win-win situation. This is precisely the result intended for the long-term cooperation and…
Our brain consists of hundreds, if not thousands, of different types of nerve cells that control our brain functions due to their individual characteristics….
** Identifying the connections across all neurons in every region of the neocortex **
Mitochondria, the cell's power stations, release quick bursts of heat by unleashing the power stored in an internal proton “battery,” the researchers found….
Researchers at the University of Oregon have uncovered a molecular mechanism by which the human stomach pathogen Helicobacter pylori is attracted to bleach,…
The blood-brain barrier is a physiological boundary layer that works highly selectively and thus protects the brain: On the one hand, pathogens or toxins are…
Whether stem cells also occur in the human brain has long been controversial. Today, it is considered certain that the brain can form new neurons throughout…
