Viruses known as 鈥渏umbo phage鈥 are a new hope against the rising antibacterial infection crisis. Researchers have discovered how jumbo phage are able to infect bacteria so efficiently. They found a compartment that protects and hides valuable DNA material from the bacteria鈥檚 immune defense system.
Iowa State researchers are building "digital twins" that are regularly updated with data from their physical twins. A national committee said digital twins have "immense promise in accelerating scientific discovery and revolutionizing industries."
When a black hole winks at you
Researchers at WashU Medicine found that a small population of immune cells in the mouse intestine prevents allergic responses to food, suggesting that targeting such cells therapeutically could potentially lead to a new treatment for allergies.
A Wayne State University professor has been selected as an Early Career Policy Ambassador (ECPA) by the Society for Neuroscience (SfN). Those chosen will engage in various advocacy initiatives in partnership with SfN.
Breast cancer and mental health: How to manage depression, anxiety, and treatment challenges
In Rutgers Health study, nearly 40% of participants surveyed reported hearing gunshots multiple times throughout their lives
Like many countries across the globe, Zambia is experiencing a severe shortage of anesthesiologists. Niroop Ravula, a pediatric anesthesiologist at UC Davis Health, traveled to Zambia with Orbis International to train Zambian colleagues on anesthesiology tools that are standard in the U.S.
Coastal wetlands are crucial for providing animals with food and shelter during disturbances. However, these ecosystems are under threat from rapidly spreading non-native aquatic plants, climate change, and dam regulation. Northern pike, native predators in the St. Lawrence River, have been forced to spawn in less optimal, deeper nearshore areas due to the invasive hybrid cattail (Typha x glauca) and water level regulation.
A second-generation compound outperforms predecessor in the fight against coronavirus.
Are your household hazards 鈥渒id-proofed?鈥 It might sound silly, but one of the first things pediatrician Colleen Kraft, MD, tells families to do once their child is around 6 months old is crawl around the floor of their home: 鈥淧retend you're that 6-month-old. What looks interesting and dangerous to you? Because kids will beeline for that."
The funds will be used to help train volunteer medical students, who will then be paired with patients referred from palliative care, oncology, family medicine, and social work.
Argonne鈥檚 Advanced Photon Source can detect and correct for influences as small as the Earth tide. This subtle effect showcases the impressive sensitivity and precision of the facility鈥檚 alignment system.
In a major leap forward for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology, researchers have unveiled a novel miniaturized accelerometer that can boost sensitivity, reducing noise and bias instability while maintaining compact chip size. The innovation centers around a novel anti-spring mechanism featuring pre-shaped curved beams, which enables stiffness softening without requiring large bias forces or displacements.
All states should adopt updated screening protocols so more newborns with cystic fibrosis can be diagnosed in the first weeks of life, when interventions can have the greatest benefit, according to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation guidelines published April 2 in the International Journal of Neonatal Screening.
