Does a person's social position influence their degree of stress? Tulane University researchers investigated this topic and discovered that social rank, particularly in females, did alter stress response.
A new discovery by researchers at Michigan State University and the Carnegie Institution for Science claimed that their understanding of iron toxicity in plants caused by low phosphorus levels has changed.
The University of Cincinnati's researchers have created a similar strategy for treating cancer, connecting cancer cells to potent radiation therapy with bacteria acting as the adaptor.
In a recent study, an international team of researchers found that those who get low doses of ionising radiation had a slightly increased lifetime risk of acquiring heart disease.
Two distinct subtypes of insulin-producing beta cells, or ss cells, have been discovered by a team of researchers led by scientists from the Van Andel Institute and Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics. Each of these ss cell subtypes possesses critical traits that may be use
Concerns about the potential health effects of phthalates, a component of many plastics and also known as a plasticizer, have prompted a search for safer substitutes. In a new study performed in cell cultures, researchers found that the chemical acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC) may not be the
