In what could be a major advance in understanding the genetic causes underlying human infertility, scientists led by researchers from Rutgers University-New Brunswick have identified a gene variant directly tied to early miscarriages in women.
Latinos who rely on Spanish-language social media for news were 11-20 percentage points more likely to believe false political narratives, finds study from NYU and UC San Diego.
Newly published research by Grainger Engineers in Mechanical Science and Engineering describes an unprecedented computational model that captures the intricate muscular architecture of an octopus arm.
A new study from researchers at Wilmer Eye Institute, Johns Hopkins Medicine explains not only why some patients with wet age-related macular degeneration (or 鈥渨et鈥� AMD) fail to have vision improvement with treatment, but also how an experimental drug could be used with existing wet AMD treatments to save vision.
The Roswell Park team has developed a new method to measure mutation loads across species, revealing the role of the "dark genome" 鈥� ancient, virus-like genes that affect cellular function. The findings support further exploration of antiviral drugs as potential tools to target the dark genome in controlling cancer.
New research from University of Utah Health has identified a promising target for new antimalarial drugs: a protein called DMT1, which allows single-celled malaria parasites to use iron. Preventing DMT1 activity causes parasites to die unusually quickly.
McMaster University researchers have discovered a previously unknown cell-protecting function of a protein, which could open new avenues for treating age-related diseases and lead to healthier aging overall.
In an era of intense polarization, Democrats and Republicans have historically, and mistakenly, believed that members of the other party prioritize protecting certain types or victims of hate speech over others based on stereotypes or their affiliation with those potentially vulnerable groups. New research from the University of Notre Dame, however, revealed that partisans generally agree on what to censor when it comes to the target, source and severity of hate speech.
New research from the University of Sydney, WCS, and partners shows that international conservation efforts account for approximately 10 percent of fish on coral reefs.
Researchers led by Jacques Drouin and his team at the IRCM discover an inter-cellular communication mechanism behind the balance of hormones needed to keep a human healthy.
An international research team led by the University of Vienna and the Medical University of Vienna has used long-term demographic data from Japanese macaques 鈥� a monkey species within the family of Old World monkeys 鈥� to show that, unlike humans, there is no maternal mortality in these primates linked to childbirth.
A new study led by researchers at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health estimates that thousands of lives could have been saved during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic if convalescent plasma had been used more broadly, particularly in outpatients at high risk for severe disease and in hospitalized patients during their first few days of admission.

Researchers with McMaster University have made an important Huntington鈥檚 Disease discovery. Members of the Truant Lab have found that the protein mutated in patients with Huntington鈥檚 Disease doesn't repair DNA as intended, impacting the ability of brain cells to heal themselves.
New mouse model research led by scientists at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, College of Medicine and Imperial College London explored how nerve cells repair themselves, which could lead to new treatments for nerve injuries.
A team led by scientists at ORNL identified and demonstrated a method to process a plant-based material called nanocellulose that reduced energy needs by a whopping 21%, using simulations on the lab鈥檚 supercomputers and follow-on analysis.
By analyzing foram shells recovered in drill cores, a study led by University of Utah geologists links rapid climate change that led to thermal maxima 50 million years ago to rising CO2 levels.
Neurobiologists studying the emergence of autism spectrum disorders have found evidence of altered early development of the nervous system. They linked environmentally induced forms of ASD to changes in neurotransmitters, the chemical messengers that allow neurons to communicate with each other.
Formerly known as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is an inflammatory disease characterized by liver scarring or fibrosis that progressively impairs liver function. It is a major risk factor for cirrhosis and liver cancer. And because treatment options are limited, MASH is the second leading cause for liver transplants in the United States after cirrhosis caused by chronic hepatitis C infection. A better understanding of the pathological processes that drive MASH is critical to creating effective treatments. In a new paper published August 19, 2024 in PNAS, a team of scientists from Sanford Burnham Prebys, the University of California San Diego School of Medicine and elsewhere, describe the complex interplay between diseased liver cells and macrophages 鈥� a type of white blood cell whose jobs include killing and removing harmful cells and pathogens and helping to spur normal healing.
Targeting a protein called ZFP574 suppressed leukemia in a mouse model of the disease, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers showed in a new study. Their findings, published in PNAS (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences), could lead to new treatments for leukemias and lymphomas in cancer patients.
