Researchers from the University of California San Diego and the University of Freiburg in Germany have found that switching to a vegan diet for just one month can alter the body's epigenetic landscape in ways associated with ...
Phys.org / Greater transparency could reduce the risk of 'flash events' and other market crises
Sudden, hard-to-explain market gyrations involving billions of dollars are often triggered by a lack of transparency, new academic research suggests.
Phys.org / New microscopy method achieves angstrom-scale localization precision with one laser
Researchers in the lab of Sam Peng, the Pfizer Inc.–Gerald Laubach Career Development Assistant Professor of Chemistry at MIT and a core institute member of the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, have developed a super-resolution ...
Phys.org / Newly unearthed mechanism that helps plants 'feel full' could help crops use fertilizer more efficiently
New York University researchers have pinpointed the molecular players responsible for plants "feeling full" once they've taken up enough nitrogen—a finding that could help scientists develop plants that absorb more nitrogen ...
Medical Xpress / Confronting global gaps in integrative cancer care knowledge
More than 8 in 10 cancer care providers worldwide say they don't know enough about integrative oncology to confidently recommend it to patients. That finding, from a global survey led by researchers at the University of California, ...
Phys.org / Genetic analysis identifies a distinct Risso's dolphin population around British Isles
Risso's dolphins around the British Isles are part of a single population—genetically distinct from those elsewhere in the Atlantic, new research shows. Scientists studied the DNA of dolphins that stranded in England, Scotland ...
