Despite the fact that migraines are painful both physically and financially, recently found genetic reasons by QUT researchers may pave the path for brand-new treatments and preventative medications.
Cancer treatment has transformed thanks to immunotherapy. The five-year survival rate for advanced melanoma, the deadliest type of skin cancer, has climbed from less than 10% to more than 50% since the development of immunotherapy in 2011. Sadly, immunotherapy only works on about half of mel
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health and their colleagues have found that a toxic protein made by the body called DUX4 may be the cause of two very different rare genetic disorders.
Researchers from all around the world have been working for years to find effective techniques to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as it continues to accumulate in the planet's atmosphere
Bacteria use electricity to communicate and react to environmental cues, much like neurons do in human brains. To better understand antibiotic resistance, scientists have now found a mechanism to alter this electrical signalling in bacteria.
Yale researchers have found a volatile pheromone generated by the tsetse fly, a blood-sucking bug that spreads diseases in both humans and animals across much of Sub-Saharan Africa. The study sheds fresh light on how flies communicate with one another and could lead to new techniques for reg
Researchers have cautioned that seabed mining in the deep ocean might begin soon, but the potential impact on creatures such as whales remains unknown.
A new method developed by researchers at UC Santa Barbara gives the ability to control and follow in real time the process by which it happens. The technique employs a novel use of low voltage electricity as a surrogate for the natural signals that trigger the protein to fold and assemble, b
Migraines are a pain in the head and in the hip pocket, but newly discovered genetic causes by QUT researchers could lead the way to new preventative drugs and therapies. Genetic analysis findings were published in The American Journal of Human Genetics by Professor Dale Nyholt and his PhD c
Analysis has historically been limited by the vast amount of data that may be collected by employing a microscope to record biological activities. Using artificial intelligence (AI), the University of Gothenburg researchers can now track the movement of cells throughout time and place. The t
The hybrid "eBiobots" are the first to combine soft materials, living muscle and microelectronics, said researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Northwestern University and collaborating institutions. They described their centimeter-scale biological machines in the journal
