Modern biology is awash in data. Scientists can sequence DNA, track gene activity cell-by-cell, map proteins in space, and image tissues at microscopic resolution. However, it is a struggle to put all that information together ...

Drug discovery still too often relies on expensive trial and error. Researchers from ICTER show there is another way—building molecules step by step and observing their behavior at atomic resolution. This approach could significantly ...

It took the better part of a century for maternal mortality to be recognized, forgotten, and finally recognized again as an urgent public health crisis in the United States. In contrast, research shows fathers—particularly ...

Researchers at Karlstad University have developed a new intelligent control strategy for battery storage in climate-controlled greenhouses. By combining artificial intelligence and signal-processing algorithms with short-term ...

An estimated 7% of all men are affected by infertility. Multiple animal studies indicate that exposure to persistent environmental chemicals in early life can negatively impact male reproductive health, and now a human study ...

A new study finds that brain electrical activity tied to impulsive decision-making—a key contributor to suicide risk—changes after lithium treatment in people who have survived a life-threatening suicide attempt. The findings ...

Many plastic products are designed to be used only once, yet the material itself lasts for years. But a new strategy is addressing this problem by creating products that self-destruct on command, known as living plastics. ...

As much as 40 million metric tons of microplastics are released into the environment globally every year. These tiny pieces of plastic come from larger plastic items that break down or are shed by products such as clothing, ...

The cruise ship cluster of hantavirus cases continues to grow. The World Health Organization reports that as of May 6 there were eight cases, three of whom are confirmed by laboratory testing as hantavirus. In recent days, ...

The development of soft materials that can reliably function on the human body is important for the future of bioelectronics and wearable medical devices. These materials need to comfortably conform to the skin while being ...

Spinal cord injuries typically result in permanent paralysis and loss of sensation, posing significant challenges for those affected and the health care system. In most cases, spinal cord injuries are contusion injuries, ...

The University of Hong Kong (HKU) has spearheaded an international research collaboration to develop a pioneering theoretical framework that deciphers the predictability of complex networks. A research team including Professor ...
