Berkeley Lab scientists have demonstrated how floating particles will assemble and synchronize in response to acoustic waves. Their simple experiment provides a new framework for studying how seemingly lifelike behaviors emerge in response to external forces. The work could help address fundamental questions about energy dissipation and non-equilibrium thermodynamics.
Scientists on the Florida campus of The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have improved a state-of-the-art gene-editing technology to advance the system’s ability to target, cut and paste genes within human and animal cells—and broadening the ways the CRISPR-Cpf1 editing system may be used to study and fight human diseases.
In recent years, immunotherapy, a new form of cancer therapy that rouses the immune system to attack tumor cells, has captivated the public’s imagination. When it works, the results are breathtaking. But more often than not it doesn’t, and scientists still don’t know why.
One in three people has a potentially nasty parasite hiding inside their body -- tucked away in tiny cysts that the immune system can’t eliminate and antibiotics can’t touch. But new research reveals clues about how to stop it: Interfere with its digestion during this stubborn dormant phase.
Scientists have measured a thin film made of a single type of conjugated polymer — a conducting plastic — as it interacted with ions and electrons. They show how there are rigid and non-rigid regions of the film, and that these regions could accommodate electrons or ions — but not both equally.
A four-year study conducted by researchers from the National University of Singapore showed that a combination of nutritional, physical and cognitive interventions can reverse physical frailty in elderly people.
The Henry Ford Cancer Institute is the first in Michigan – and first in the world – to offer patients an advanced radiation therapy that uses an FDA-approved real-time magnetic resonance imaging and linear accelerator delivery for more precise and accurate radiation treatment.
Proposals are due July 1. Selected proposals will be awarded in amounts up to $350,000 for a performance period of 24 months.
Larry R. Kaiser, MD, FACS, President & CEO of Temple University Health System, the Lewis Katz Dean at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University and Senior Executive Vice President for Health Affairs at Temple University, has been named one of the top “50 Most Influential Physician Executives and Leaders” for 2017 by Modern Healthcare.
Billions of dollars could be saved if Congress revises a law to allow regulators to be more aggressive in reducing losses from insolvent banks, according to a recent study co-authored by a faculty member from FAU’s College of Business.
A recent published paper puts to rest assumptions that three wooden structures were associated with the historic Fort Armstrong in Alabama.
“Women’s Suffrage and the Media,” an online database and resource site launched this month, includes primary and secondary sources that chronicle and examine the suffrage movement as portrayed in news, propaganda, advertising, entertainment, and other aspects of public life.
Building on their longtime collaboration, MedPage Today and the Endocrine Society are pleased to announce the official launch of the Endocrine Society Reading Room. This unique offering includes content from the Endocrine Society's top-ranked journals as well as exclusive, original content from MedPage Today's team of award-winning journalists, written specifically for the Reading Room. This new venture also provides expert critiques written by a member of the Endocrine Society that accompanies each article.
In a recent study in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, Florida State University graduate student Ashley Cooper explores how high levels of fluctuation in how secure an individual feels in his or her relationship may actually doom its success.
A $2.24 million competing renewal grant from the National Cancer Institute will support the work of investigators at Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey and Princeton University to learn more about the fuel required for tumor growth. The collaborative research will focus on melanomas and lung cancers caused by mutations in genes known as K-ras and Braf.
In the last decade, 7 million hectares of boreal forest in Eastern Canada have been destroyed by the voracious insect known as the spruce budworm. And the outbreak is heading south again this spring, leaving devastation and fires in its wake.
National committee creates American College of Radiology ultrasound-based risk stratification system to identify nodules that warrant biopsy or sonographic follow-up, and identify most clinically significant malignancies while reducing the number of biopsies performed on benign nodules.
Scholarship established in honor of Frenkel ter Hofstede.
Experimenting with mice, neuroscientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine report new evidence that the eye's iris in many lower mammals directly senses light and causes the pupil to constrict without involving the brain.
