Health has become the dominant topic worldwide. Research and development to protect the physical well-being of each individual, as well as the entire population, have an unprecedented significance. More than ever, labora...

New research from entomologists clears a potential obstacle to using CRISPR-Cas9 'gene drive' technology to control mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever and Zika.

Researchers discovered that ACOX1 is involved in two distinct neurodegenerative disorders.

For more than 40 years, scientists have hypothesized the existence of enzyme clusters, or 'metabolons,' in facilitating various processes within cells. Using a novel imaging technology combined with mass spectrometry, re...

A team of researchers has characterized how the gut microbiome develops in the first hours of infancy, providing a critical baseline for how changes in this environment can impact health and disease later in life.

Scientists have conducted the largest-ever whole genome sequencing study of schizophrenia to provide a more complete picture of the role the human genome plays in this disease.

Given the radio technology’s power efficiency, cost savings, reliability, and global reach, Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) promises to a standout for IoT applications. With an estimated 3.2 billion cellular IoT connections in...

Saliva could be used instead of blood to monitor diabetes in a new method.

Sporting activities can bring about a long-term improvement in cognitive performance across all age groups. However, the effects differ between men and women, and not all sports provide the same impact. Researchers have ...

Researchers used a novel approach to test assumptions in a model used by NASA to predict health risks for astronauts.

Researchers have developed a new method for biomarker discovery of urological cancers. The method enables timely diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Urological cancers include e.g. prostate, bladder and kidney cancers.

A small mitochondrial protein is necessary for energy production and its malfunction could be behind a range of degenerative diseases, according to new study.

In experiments with mice, researchers have studied neuronal mechanisms and found a way to by and large prevent spasticity from developing after spinal cord injuries. A new study shows that the researchers have done this ...

Scientists prove that psilocybin, a potential drug for treating depression and other psychological conditions can be produced in yeast.

Emotional, social and psychiatric problems in children and adolescents have been linked to higher levels of genetic vulnerability for adult depression.

This Lilliputian chip's detection bandwidth is enormous -- from sweeping body motions to faint sounds of the heartbeat, pulse waves traversing body tissues, respiration rate, and lung sounds.

Researchers have shown that a new antiviral drug for influenza can treat the infection at the same time as reducing the risk of transmission to others, offering powerful potential to change the way we manage influenza ou...
