Hadrons count among their number the familiar protons and neutrons that make up our atoms, but they are much more than that. In the early 1900s, physicists were trying to find the source of a low-level buzz of radiation ...

Changes in blood platelets triggered by COVID-19 could contribute to the onset of heart attacks, strokes, and other serious complications in some patients who have the disease, according to scientists. The researchers fo...

It is well established that the SARS-CoV-2 virus responsible for the COVID-19 disease is transmitted via respiratory droplets that infected people eject when they cough, sneeze or talk. Consequently, much research target...

(Osaka University) Researchers from Osaka University developed a novel vaccine that removes senescent T cells from adipose tissues. They showed that vaccinated obese mice had improved glucose tolerance and insulin resist...

Scotland may be only weeks away from no new daily cases of coronavirus. As the nation gets close, cases from over the border will become a big problem.

Reports show that cancer is the second-highest leading cause of death globally. A recent study by scientists provides new evidence supporting the presence of a key mechanism behind progression and relapse in cancer. The ...

Light to moderate weekly alcohol consumption during middle age could help preserve brain function as we get older. Compared to non-drinkers, those who had a drink or two a day tended to have better performance on cogniti...

Researchers report that stool microbiomes of NAFLD patients are distinct enough to potentially be used to accurately predict which persons with NAFLD are at greatest risk for having cirrhosis.

Coronavirus cases have surged in several areas thought to have the virus under control, including parts of South Korea, Australia and the US.

Researchers developed a novel vaccine that removes senescent T cells from adipose tissues. They showed that vaccinated obese mice had improved glucose tolerance and insulin resistance without showing severe adverse event...

One of the world's first 3D printed houses went up in China in 2016. At 400 square meters in size and 2 stories tall, the house took 45 days to print--and at the time, this seemed amazingly fast. Since then, similar hous...

For the first time, the LHCb collaboration at CERN has observed an exotic particle made up of four charm quarks. The LHCb collaboration has observed a type of four-quark particle that has never been seen before. The disc...

A new study shows that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 (coronavirus), can infect heart cells in a lab dish, indicating it may be possible for heart cells in COVID-19 patients to be directly infected by the vir...

Light to moderate drinking may preserve brain function in older age, according to a new study.

When a solid cancer is surgically removed, any small piece that is left behind increases the chance of a local recurrence or spread. In a pilot study of dogs with mammary tumors, a disease very similar to human breast ca...

Researchers have identified a library of molecules that shut down the SARS-CoV-2 polymerase reaction, a key step that establishes the potential of these molecules as lead compounds to be further modified for the developm...

An analysis by the UK's Met Office of future temperatures under global warming has found that 40°C days could become frequent in the future. The current UK record is 38.7°C, set in 2019

Researchers are examining the important roles rituals play in reducing our anxiety levels.

Researchers have found that organoids known as 'mini-brains' can be infected by the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19.

The term 'morning sickness' is misleading and should instead be described as nausea and sickness in pregnancy, argue researchers who have demonstrated that these symptoms can occur at any time of the day -- not just the ...

But some cloth masks appear to work better than others at stopping the spread of potentially infectious droplets.

Scientists have discovered a novel pathology that occurs in several human neurodegenerative diseases, including Huntington's disease. The article describes how SAFB1 expression occurs in both spinocerebellar ataxias and ...
