Researchers suggest that prolonged exposure to a pair of antioxidant proteins may contribute to enlargement of the liver and fatty liver diseases.

Using human lung cancer cells, researchers have uncovered how cells in general modulate their energy consumption based on their surroundings and, furthermore, how cancer cells override those cues to maximize energy use.

Researchers have found that only a fraction of patients at risk of having their utilities shut off were identified through social determinants of health (SDOH) screening. The research showed that among the patients who r...

New Grypper Y test sockets handle industry-standard eMMC/Universal Flash Storage (UFS) memory devices. The Ironwood Grypper socket, part number 113036-0003, allows testing of the newest generation (UFS) 153 BGA form-fact...

To improve how broken bones heal in people with diabetes, researchers are leading work to develop an affordable oral therapy -- grown in plants.

Targeting overactive immune cells and dampening their chronic neurotoxic effects may offer new therapeutic strategies for traumatic brain injury (TBI), according to new preclinical research in mice.

Testing of small molecules in mouse models for Duchenne muscular dystrophy shows promise for restoration of muscle structure and function.

Researchers have discovered that a protein found in the membrane of our sensory neurons are involved in our capacity to feel mechanical pain, laying the foundation for the development of powerful new analgesic drugs.

Antibodies can be a blessing or a curse to the brain -- it all depends on their concentration.

Two software options for the Universal Wireless Test Set MT8870A helps measure RF characteristics of 3GPP-compliant LTE-V2X (PC5) devices, facilitating the smooth rollout of cellular-vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) commerc...

Saelig Company, Inc. has introduced the PicoScope 6000E Series 8-channel 500-MHz Oscilloscopes, which provide 8 to 12 bits of vertical resolution, 5 GSa/sec sampling rate, and 4 GSa memory, allowing these scopes to displ...

Researchers have developed a new, inexpensive technology that could save lives and money by routinely screening women for breast cancer without exposure to radiation. The system uses harmless microwaves and artificial in...

Neuroscientists have developed a new method that permits continuous regulation of eye pressure without damage, becoming the first to definitively prove pressure in the eye is sufficient to cause and explain glaucoma.

Interacting contagious diseases like influenza and pneumonia -- and perhaps coronavirus too -- follow the same complex spreading patterns as social trends, like the adoption of new slang or technologies. This new finding...

For the first time, researchers from the Department of Engineering and the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics at Aarhus University have described the structure of an IgE antibody responsible for allergic reacti...

Modern anticancer therapies aim to attack tumor cells while sparing healthy tissue. A team of researchers has now produced tiny nanoparticles that are designed to specifically target cancer cells. They can navigate direc...

In search of new ways to sequence human genomes and read critical alterations in DNA, researchers say they have successfully used the gene cutting tool CRISPR to make cuts in DNA around lengthy tumor genes, which can be ...

Using Salmonella enterica genomes recovered from human skeletons as old as 6,500 years, an international team of researchers illustrates the evolution of a human pathogen and provides the first ancient DNA evidence in su...

Different types of food are linked to risks of different types of stroke, according to the largest study to investigate this. The study of more than 418,000 people in nine European countries investigated ischaemic stroke...

The addition of dietary L-serine, a naturally occurring amino acid necessary for formation of proteins and nerve cells, delayed signs of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in an animal study.

A new study shows that visual rehabilitation is effective for patients who have suffered vision loss related to stroke or traumatic brain injury.

For decades, researchers have suggested a link between oral health and inflammatory diseases affecting the entire body -- in particular, heart attacks and strokes. Results of a randomized pilot trial of Plaque HD®, the ...
