A new protein, called aquaporin-4, is making waves and found to play a key role in brain inflammation, or encephalitis. This discovery is important as the…
Their findings, which appear in the latest issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), indicate that domesticated rice may have first…
A team of scientists has combined embryological observations, genetic sequencing, and supercomputing to determine that a group of small disk-shaped animals…
These brain regions belong to a network that is more active when the brain is at rest. The discovery that cells in these regions communicate with each other…
The discovery is an important development in the worldwide effort to mimic the way plants make fuel from sunlight, a key step in creating a green energy…
A protein associated with Alzheimer’s disease clogs several motors of the cell transport machinery critical for normal cell division, leading to defective…
According to the study's corresponding author, Dr. Lygia V. Pereira of the Molecular Genetics Laboratory at the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil, pluripotent…
Theta Rhythm – The hippocampal theta rhythm is an oscillation that can be observed in EEG recordings from the hippocampus and other brain structures in…
“We were able to do this now because of Next Generation genomic sequencing technology,” says Christopher Klein, M.D., Mayo Clinic neurologist and lead author…
The structures of many protein molecules remain unsolved even after experts apply an extensive array of approaches. An international collaboration has led to a…
The physical properties of nanocomposites depend significantly on the shape and distribution of the particles in the matrix. Measurement of the resulting…
They efficiently prepared functional poly(aroxycarbonyltriazole) compounds with aggregation-induced emission characteristics. This study was reported in Volume…
Simply put, people develop diabetes because they don't have enough pancreatic beta cells to produce the insulin necessary to regulate their blood sugar levels.
Those tricks improve the properties of certain organic polymers that mimic the properties of traditional inorganic semiconductors and could make the polymers…
The research sheds new light on brain plasticity and may explain some basic human behaviors, according to Brian Prendergast, associate professor in psychology…
An international team of scientists, led by researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine, have developed a new method for…
