For a long time, researchers have worked to understand the immune reactions that take place in the human body during various illnesses, such as cancer and inflammatory disorders.
Male and female hearts react differently to the stress hormone noradrenaline, according to a recent study published in Science Advances. The research on mice may have ramifications for human heart conditions like arrhythmias and heart failure as well as how various sexes react to certain dru
Although it is well recognised that neuronal development, particularly the growth of dendrites and axons, is metabolically demanding, little is known about the effects of different foods on neuronal development.
Research led by a University of Maryland team has identified the first inter-species, signalling pathway between an arthropod parasite and host, where molecules in the blood of a host animal trigger the immunity and development of a parasite.
In areas near Raleigh projected to see heavier future development, keeping buffers of trees or other greenery around waterways could help slow rushing streams during wet conditions, and keep them flowing during dry ones. However, North Carolina State University researchers behind a recent st
In a recent study, researchers at North Carolina State University discovered that ants did not modify their behaviour in response to rising temperatures and remained in suboptimal microhabitats even when ideal ones were there. The discovery shows that ants may be unable to change their behav
All kinds of exoplanets orbit very close to their star. Some look like the Earth, others like Jupiter. Very few, however, are similar to Neptune. Why this anomaly in the distribution of exoplanets? Researchers from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and the National Centre of Competence in Res
A major research conducted on the Danish population indicates that premature birth before 34 weeks of pregnancy is associated with lower performance in math and language exams as a teenager compared to those born at 40 weeks.
Recent research shows that magnetic fields can spontaneously emerge in plasma if the plasma has a temperature anisotropy. This mechanism is known as the Weibel instability. This new research is the first to unambiguously observe the Weibel instability in the laboratory. It offers a possible
A protein response that develops at the cellular level as a result of ageing causes low-grade inflammation and a balance between oxidants and antioxidants, which is the root of many diseases.
