Cellular identity is defined by gene activity that drives intercellular communication and is pivotal to understand mechanisms underlying multicellular organisms. In a new report Abbas Ghaddar and a research team in biology, ...

The Rosetta orbiter spectrometer for ion and neutral analysis (ROSINA) instrument orbited comet 67P to revolutionize our understanding of cometary material composition. A key finding of the satellite was to explore the composition ...

Although technically challenging, space experiments are a scientifically important aspect of astrobiology and astrochemistry investigations. The international space station (ISS) offers an excellent example of a long-term ...

Marine biologists are increasingly seeking methods to mitigate anthropogenic climate interference by implementing strategies for ocean carbon dioxide removal (CDR). Ocean alkalinity enhancement parameter is an abiotic approach ...

The outcomes of blood pressure regulation provide a clear picture of the underlying mechanisms of the arterial baroreflex, a critical cardiovascular reflex, during health and disease. Under normal blood pressure, the functional ...

In a new report now published in npj Microgravity, Zachary Estlack and a research team in mechanical engineering and space sciences at the University of Utah and the University of California, Berkeley, developed a microfluidic ...

Magnetosheath jets on Earth are plasma entities that have a higher dynamic pressure surrounding the plasma and can cause waves that transfer energy within such environments. Such jets also exist beyond Earth in the magnetosheath ...

In low- and middle-income countries, and in general, the prospect of preterm birth is the leading cause of mortality in children under the age of five, although comprehensive studies are hindered to the phenomenon due to ...

Patients who undergo skin injuries endure hospital stays, infection and/or succumb to death; therefore, advances in wound healing aim to improve clinical practices underlying macroscale healing to effectively intervene in ...

Materials scientists are often bioinspired, and in a new study, bird-inspired by structural colors exhibited by avian species to form non-iridescent nanoparticle assemblies. Such nanoparticle mixtures varying in particle ...

While the importance of the triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) is known in brain microglial function during neurodegenerative diseases, the function of the TREM2 cell receptor/protein is unknown in glioblastoma ...

Scalable photonic quantum computing architectures require photonic processing devices. Such platforms rely on low-loss, high-speed, reconfigurable circuits and near-deterministic resource state generators. In a new report ...

Semicrystalline polymers are solids that are assumed to flow only above their melting temperature. In a new study published in Science Advances, Chien-Hua Tu and a research team at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research ...

Breast cancer is resistant to immunotherapies; therefore, bioengineers and oncologists seek to develop a slew of therapeutic strategies to overcome this challenge. In a new report in Science Advances, Kerui Wu and colleagues ...

Physicists and bioengineers can manipulate magnetically driven guidewires by using remote magnetic steering with scope for minimally invasive medical procedures. Magnetic steering strategies are presently limited by low magnetic ...
