Scientists develop peptides that could inactivate coronavirus. Fool the novel coronavirus once and it can’t cause infection of cells, new research suggests. Scientists have developed…
A nasal antiviral created by researchers at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons blocked transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in ferrets, suggesting the nasal spray…
Technique creates highly customized structures that could be used in regenerative medicine. A team at Aalto University has used bacteria to produce intricately designed three-dimensional…
Insight About Tumor Microenvironment Could Boost Cancer Immunotherapy A paper published today (February 15, 2021) in Nature shows how chemicals in the areas surrounding tumors…
Osteoporosis is a leading global health challenge. Besides its own adverse effects, it also impairs the function of bone implants — normally made of a…
The molecular details of how SARS-CoV-2 enters cells and infects them are still not clear. Researchers at Uppsala University have tested the bioinformatic predictions made…
Effects of unhealthy food followed young mice into adulthood. Eating too much fat and sugar as a child can alter your microbiome for life, even…
Mechanism for control of antibiotic production in soil bacteria is visualized for the first time by scientists at University of Warwick and Monash University Research…
Enveloped viruses have been detected in raw sewage and sludge, but scientists still don’t fully understand the fate and infectivity of these viruses during water…
Chemists, engineers create a key component of bioenergy production in lab. Scientists have figured out a cheaper, more efficient way to conduct a chemical reaction…
When mixed with fluid from a nasal swab or blood sample, these protein sensors emit light within minutes. Scientists have created a new way to…
Research suggests the products of transcription — RNA molecules — regulate their own production through a feedback loop. At any given moment in the human…
Catnip and silver vine have been known as cat attractant plants. Cat lovers use dry leaves of these plants and toys stuffed with the leaves…
Chemists have developed a nanomaterial that they can trigger to shape shift – from flat sheets to tubes and back to sheets again – in…
New probes allow scientists to see four-stranded DNA interacting with molecules inside living human cells, unraveling its role in cellular processes. DNA usually forms the…
An international team of researchers created nanodiamond sensors that can act as both heat sources and thermometers, and is using them to measure the thermal…
A new Northwestern University-led study is unfolding the mystery of how RNA molecules fold themselves to fit inside cells and perform specific functions. The findings…
Scientists have identified the presence of a non-tobacco plant in ancient Maya drug containers for the first time. The Washington State University researchers detected Mexican…
