A new study from researchers at Michigan State University underscores that there's still much to learn regarding how plants will function, and how nutritious they will be, as more carbon enters our atmosphere.
Human immunodeficiency virus 1, more commonly known as HIV-1, is known for its uncanny ability to evade the immune system. Scientists at Scripps Research and collaborators have now uncovered how our innate immune system, the body's first line of quick defence in attacking foreign invaders de
A new analysis has uncovered a potential link between higher prostate cancer risk and genetic variants associated with higher bloodstream levels of the cholesterol-transporting molecule lipoprotein A. Anna Ioannidou of Imperial College London, U.K., and colleagues present these findings in t
Researchers have uncovered a previously hidden heating process that helps explain how the atmosphere that surrounds the Sun called the "solar corona" can be vastly hotter than the solar surface that emits it.
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an umbrella term for two diseases, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, that are characterized by the prolonged inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. This condition often leads to the development of colorectal tumors. Understanding the pathogenesi
BJP MP Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore on Monday took a swipe at the state government, claiming that the Ashok Gehlot government was not giving permission for CBI inquiry into the 'paper leak case' because it knows that 'big names' will be uncovered.
A group of scientists from North Carolina State University uncovered a jumping habit for insect larvae, and there is evidence that it occurs in a variety of species that haven't done it yet.
Investigators from the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai have identified how biological pacemaker cells--cells that control your heartbeat--can "fight back" against therapies to biologically correct abnormal heartbeat rates. The research also uncovered a new way to boost the effectivenes
Research has revealed how a pathway in the brain that typically provides signals to stop eating may be altered by early life trauma. The discovery, obtained from studies in mice adds new perspective to binge eating and obesity.
A vital layer in the lungs called surfactant, which is composed of lipids and proteins, lowers surface tension to enable humans to breathe easily. Without surfactants, breathing would be more difficult and require assistance from a machine.
A fundamental challenge in drug development is the balance between optimizing a drug's lock-and-key fit with its target and the drug's ability to make its way across the cellular membrane and access that target.
A study supports the idea that some T cells that react to microbes also may react to normal human proteins, causing autoimmune disease. The findings promise to accelerate efforts to improve diagnostic tools and treatments for autoimmune diseases.
