When herring are filleted, more than half their weight becomes a low-value ‘side stream’ that never reaches our plates – despite being rich in protein…
Researchers from North Carolina State University have turned a longstanding challenge in DNA data storage into a tool, using it to offer users previews of…
Researchers have created a plant-based, sustainable, scalable material that could replace single-use plastics in many consumer products. The researchers, from the University of Cambridge, created…
In a major scientific leap, University of Queensland researchers have created a quantum microscope that can reveal biological structures that would otherwise be impossible to…
A unique feature of the SARS-CoV-2 genome controls protein synthesis and presents an Achilles heel of the virus. Viruses require the resources of an infected…
Most high-value chemicals are currently produced using fossil fuels – industrial chemistry’s use of petroleum accounts for 14% of all greenhouse gas emissions. An exciting…
Variants of viruses, such as that causing COVID-19, can now be quickly studied in the laboratory, even before they emerge in nature and become a…
A single biomarker can accurately indicate the presence of underlying neurodegeneration in people with cognitive issues. Levels of a protein called neurofilament light chain (NfL)…
The discovery could have important implications for the health of aging brains and development of therapies for neurodegenerative diseases. Recent studies suggest that new brain…
New research shows that the protein that causes Alzheimer’s Disease’s hallmark brain plaques clings to certain bowl-shaped nanoparticles, allowing researchers to better understand the disease…
LIH and RTI International put forward the mode of action of natural painkiller conolidine, and develop new molecule with enhanced pharmacological properties. Building on their…
Scientists perform the first detailed analysis of different antibodies produced by COVID patients to various parts of SARS-CoV-2. Blood tests to detect antibodies against SARS-CoV-2,…
Global brain activity seen on fMRI, and its connection with cerebrospinal fluid flow weaker in brains of individuals with Alzheimer’s disease risk or related toxin…
The mosquito protein AEG12 strongly inhibits the family of viruses that cause yellow fever, dengue, West Nile, and Zika and weakly inhibits coronaviruses, according to…
ICIQ scientists from the Lloret-Fillol group have, for the first time, isolated and fully characterized an elusive intermediate in the Water Oxidation Reaction. The Water…
UIC researchers prove that drugs designed for bacteria have potential to act on human cells. According to researchers at the University of Illinois Chicago, the…
Scientists from Japan employ a novel two-step method of labeling neurotransmitter receptor proteins to track their localization efficiently. The neurons in our nervous system “talk”…
