Scientists have developed a method for embedding networks of biocompatible nanoscale wires within engineered tissues. These networks — which mark the first time that electronics and tissue have been truly merged in 3-D — allow direct tissue sensing a…
Patients with psoriasis are at high risk of new-onset diabetes mellitus, according to new research.
Nerves in squid skin control the animal’s spectrum of shimmering hues — from red to blue — as well as their speed of change, biologists have found. The work marks the first time neural control of iridescence in an invertebrate species has been demons…
The persistent, dependent use of marijuana before age 18 has been shown to cause lasting harm to a person’s intelligence, attention and memory, according to an international research team.
Refrigerating coal-plant emissions would reduce levels of dangerous chemicals that pour into the air — including carbon dioxide by more than 90 percent — at a cost of 25 percent efficiency, according to a simple math-driven formula.
Engineering researchers at the University of Arkansas have developed a method to simplify the pharmaceutical production of proteins used in drugs that treat a variety of diseases and health conditions, including diabetes, cancer, arthritis and macular …
Drastic climate changes brought on by severe storms can spur allergy and asthma symptoms for sufferers across the country.
Researchers have made a discovery that challenges a major theory in the field of coral reef ecology. The general assumption has been that the more flexible corals are, regarding which species of single-celled algae they host in coral tissues, the great…
A drug originally developed to stop cancerous tumors may hold the potential to prevent abnormal brain cell growth and learning disabilities in some children, if they can be diagnosed early enough, a new animal study suggests.
New research examining influenza transmission in ferrets suggests that the virus can be passed on before the appearance of symptoms. If the finding applies to humans, it means that people pass on flu to others before they know they’re infected, makin…
Mayo Clinic recently marked its first births resulting from in vitro fertilization using a new time-lapse incubator that minimizes disturbances from human handling as embryos develop and helps fertility specialists better identify the healthiest embryos.
