Medical Xpress / New research reveals underlying mechanisms of eye inflammation
A new study published in The American Journal of Pathology provides new evidence that immune cells enter the retina via the body's standard pathway, identifying PECAM as the gatekeeper and neutrophils as proresolving mediators. ...
Phys.org / How one RNA nucleotide switch activates fluorescent dyes
RhoBAST is a tiny RNA molecule that activates fluorescent dyes, enabling researchers to track RNA molecules in living cells with super-resolution. An international collaboration, which includes Ronald Micura and his team ...
Phys.org / Sea-level rise could squeeze shorebirds out of critical coastal habitat, researchers find
As sea levels rise, coastal wetlands around the world are expected to shrink—and researchers at the University of British Columbia have found this could put the world's shorebirds and their critical habitat at risk.
Phys.org / As antibiotic resistance grows, researchers turn to copper to fight infections
When bacteria invade the urinary tract, the body has its own arsenal for fighting back. Among those weapons is an unlikely tool: copper. Researchers at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences ...
Phys.org / New genome study rewrites the early history of grasses, the world's most important plant family
An international team of scientists, including Donald Danforth Plant Science Center member emerita Elizabeth "Toby" Kellogg, Ph.D., has produced a chromosome-level genome assembly that offers a new view of the earliest evolution ...
Phys.org / Single nanostructure enables independent control of two light resonance modes
Metallic nanostructures are exceptionally effective at concentrating light into tiny volumes, while dielectric nanostructures excel at storing light with minimal energy loss. Combining these complementary properties has traditionally ...
Phys.org / AI helps find hidden human proteins and reveals what they do
New research shows how artificial intelligence, combined with advanced experimental science, can help find "hidden" and unexplored proteins in the human body and reveal what they actually do, according to a new study published ...
Medical Xpress / Brain aging may be detected decades before symptoms appear, with links to gut health
A new UCLA study has found a connection between how quickly the brain ages and the bacteria and chemical byproducts found in the gut, offering a clue to what drives brain aging long before symptoms appear.
Phys.org / When will your glacier disappear? New website lets users explore risks worldwide
When will the glacier in your valley disappear? Will the glacier you visited as a child still exist in 2050? And how much difference would limiting global warming make?
Phys.org / Compost microbe yields enzyme that tackles polyurethane foam and nylon
Researchers from Aarhus University and the Danish Technological Institute have taken a new approach in the search for enzymes capable of breaking down some of the most difficult types of plastic to recycle. They collected ...
Phys.org / Emerging SARS-CoV-2 sublineage RE.2.2 displays distinct structural features
Researchers from the Institute of Microbiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IMCAS) have characterized the structural and functional properties of the emerging SARS-CoV-2 sublineage BA.3.2.2 by studying RE.2.2, the ...
Phys.org / 10,000 years of wheat and barley selection reveal shared climate-adaptation genes
Research teams from INRAE, the University of Clermont Auvergne and the CNRS have reconstructed 10 ancient genomes (paleogenomes) that are the common ancestors of 84 botanical species of agronomic interest. Their work makes ...
