Researchers aimed to understand both the prevalence of discrimination events and how these events affect college students in their daily lives. Over the course of two academic quarters, the team compared students' self-r...

The recent development of physiologic media, like other efforts designed to address the modeling capacity of cell culture, holds immense potential to improve understanding of human biology.

Researchers advance the field of retinoblastoma research through the discovery and use of aqueous humor biopsy. Genetic tumor information not present in the blood can be detected in this fluid from the eye.

New research gives insights into tornado casualty rates across the United States and casualty prediction models.

The annual transition to and from daylight saving time (DST) has clinical implications that last longer than the days where clocks 'fall back' or 'spring forward.'

A protein that breast, lung and other cancers use to promote their spread -- or metastasis -- to the brain, has been identified. The protein, CEMIP, will now be a focus of efforts to predict, prevent and treat brain meta...

A small study concludes that caution is warranted for users of 'high CBD, low THC' cannabis products.

PowerCell Sweden AB has developed a new and improved version of its MS-100 fuel cell system which will be presented at the Fuel Cell Seminar & Energy Exposition in California on November 5th. The new MS-100 is 30 percent...

Segger has announced the J-Link WiFi, a new member of the J-Link family of debug probes. With USB and Wi-Fi interfaces, any software compatible with J-Link can easily use the new model. Removing the physical connection b...

The US is the world's largest producer of bioethanol as renewable liquid fuel, with more than 200 commercial plants processing over 16 billion gallons per year. Plants typically use dry grind processing methods; however,...

Post-traumatic stress disorder in U.S. military members frequently follows a concussion-like brain injury. Until now, it has been unclear why. A team of psychologists and neurologists reports that a traumatic brain injur...

Zebrafish research is a promising way to understand the neural and genetic causes of eye movement problems in people, according to multi-university research.

The fundamental organization of brain networks is established in utero during the second and third trimesters of fetal development, according to new research. The finding lays the groundwork for understanding how the pre...

William Shakespeare's Macbeth had it right when he referred to sleep as the 'balm of hurt minds.' While a full night of slumber stabilizes emotions, a sleepless night can trigger up to a 30% rise in anxiety levels, accor...

Study authors note multiple health issues including blurred vision from excessive screen time, neck and back pain from poor posture, carpal tunnel syndrome from repetitive motion, metabolic dysregulation from prolonged s...

Researchers report they have developed a new technique that uses light to control the lifetime of a protein inside the cell. This method will allow scientists to better observe how specific proteins contribute to health,...

Investigators have found that sesame allergy is common among children with other food allergies, occurring in an estimated 17% of this population. In addition, the scientists have found that sesame antibody testing -- wh...

Researchers have uncovered a novel molecular mechanism that allows damaged adult liver cells to regenerate, paving the way for design of drugs to boost regeneration in conditions such as cirrhosis or other chronic liver ...

An extremely unstable protein, Cln3, appears to be the master switch that activates cell division in budding yeast. Cln3 concentrations only reach high enough levels to trigger the cell division process when the rate of ...

A major challenge in regenerative medicine is producing tailor-made hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) for transplantation. For this we need a better understanding of where, when and how HSCs are produced in vivo. Scientist...

A new study documents structural differences in the brains of preschool-age children related to screen-based media use.

An international team of researchers has used nanoparticles to deliver a drug -- one that previously failed in clinical trials for pain -- into specific compartments of nerve cells, dramatically increasing its ability to...
