Neurodevelopmental disorders, including schizophrenia and autism, likely result from complex interactions that modify the effects of individual genes, according to new research.

Imagine being confined to a metal cell with a couple of other people and few amenities for months or even years. Maybe after that, you'll be moved to a new compound, but you still have no privacy and extremely limited co...

Formamidinium (FA) perovskites have exhibited outstanding optoelectronic properties in efficient solar cells and light-emitting diodes. However, their development on nanolaser application has rarely been explored, especi...

Researchers have developed a ''smart'' diaper embedded with a moisture sensor that can alert a caregiver when a diaper is wet. When the sensor detects dampness in the diaper, it sends a signal to a nearby receiver, which...

In a study featured as the cover article appearing today in the journal Science Advances, a UCF research team showed that by combining two promising nanomaterials into a new superstructure, they could create a nanoscale ...

Researchers have revealed how an essential protein helps to activate genomic DNA during the conversion of regular adult human cells into stem cells.

Memory performance and other cognitive abilities benefit from a good blood supply to the brain. This applies in particular to people affected by a condition known as 'sporadic cerebral small vessel disease'. Researchers ...

There is a strong link between the amount of fast food that pre-school age children consume and their likelihood of becoming overweight or obese, according to a new study.

Scientists have found that even a few hours' exposure to ambient ultrafine particles common in air pollution may potentially trigger a nonfatal heart attack.

Researchers report the biological effects of influenza protein NS1 binding to RIG-I -- the binding directly quiets the alarm that activates the cellular innate immunity defense against the infection. This is a newly desc...

The combination of green tea extract and exercise reduced the severity of obesity-related fatty liver disease by 75% in mice fed a high-fat diet, according to researchers, whose recent study may point to a potential heal...

Researchers report that abnormal levels of beta-amyloid plaques in brain predict cognitive decline and higher risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, but also that cognitive performance predicts progression from normal t...

The coronavirus probably has a stronger ability to spread than the World Health Organization has estimated so far. This according to a review of previous studies of the coronavirus' transmissibility.

Scientists have implicated two microRNAs in the biological processes that underlie the ventricle enlargement observed in models of schizophrenia.

Patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) who consumed a flavanol-rich cocoa beverage three times daily for six months saw significant improvements in their 6-minute walking distance compared to a placebo, in a small...

Sex differences in airway size are not innate, but likely develop because of hormonal changes around puberty, reports a new study.

Study will analyze dried blood spots from newborns for over 1,000 different chemicals and molecules. The presence of some of the molecules may predict autism risk years before symptoms appear, allowing for early treatmen...

Researchers have developed a smart onesie that accurately measures the spontaneous and voluntary movements of infants from five months. The smart-clothing could help assess abnormal neurological and motor development in ...

Cognitive performance may predict the progression from normal to abnormal levels of Alzheimer's associated amyloid-beta.

Women can identify men that would be easier to pressure, deceive, seduce, or exploit, but, unlike many men, most women don't find these cues attractive.

A Chinese company announced that these antibodies helped treat 10 critically ill patients.
