Researchers discovered how genetic abnormalities in particular types of brain cells may lead to the inflammatory response found in Alzheimer's disease.
The research team discovered that low-dose radiation therapy appears to enhance heart function in various forms of heart failure after analysing the cardiac effects of radiation in a small number of these individuals and modelling the effects of low-dose radiation in mice with heart failure.
An international research team led by Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) experts has discovered how three unique genes cause neurodevelopmental problems.
Researchers discovered which genes in the probiotic Bifidobacterium longum promote intestinal motility. Researchers observed that B. longum strains with the abfA cluster of genes may reduce constipation by enhancing the gut's utilisation of arabinan, an indigestible fibre.
Plants lack visual organs, so how do they know where light comes from? In an original study combining expertise in biology and engineering, the team led by Prof Christian Fankhauser at UNIL, in collaboration with colleagues at EPFL, discovered that a light-sensitive plant tissue uses the opt
Researchers at The University of Texas in El Paso believe they have discovered a solution for leftover coffee grounds, which are thrown from homes and companies all around the world every day.
Researchers have determined which genes in the probiotic Bifidobacteria longum enhance intestinal motility. Researchers discovered that B. longum strains with the abfA cluster of genes can reduce constipation by improving the gut's utilisation of arabinan, an indigestible fibre.
Researchers have discovered a new therapeutic target for pulmonary hypertension, a type of high blood pressure that affects the blood vessels in the lungs.
Researchers at the University of Bristol discovered that feeding dogs raw (uncooked) meat doubles their chance of excreting E. coli that cannot be destroyed by ciprofloxacin, a frequently used antibiotic.
