Scientists have shown that specialized cells involved in how the body responds to insulin are activated in the brain after exercise, suggesting that physical activity may directly improve brain ...

A research team performed a large-scale genome analysis of Japanese and European populations and discovered gene regions (genetic polymorphisms) related to allergic sensitization. Some of these ...

Water desalination plants could replace expensive chemicals with new carbon cloth electrodes that remove boron from seawater, an important step of turning seawater into safe drinking water.

Neuromorphic computing -- a field that applies principles of neuroscience to computing systems to mimic the brain's function and structure -- needs to scale up if it is to effectively compete with ...

Researchers identified a key protein as a potential therapeutic target for stopping the body's immune system from mistakenly attacking itself, offering new hope for treating autoimmune diseases and ...

A new computational method gleans more information than its predecessors from maps showing how galaxies are clustered and threaded throughout the universe.

An interdisciplinary team has developed a groundbreaking technology that addresses key limitations in clean hydrogen production using microwaves. They have also successfully elucidated the underlying ...

Researchers conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of 116 studies to evaluate the effectiveness of physical activity promotion interventions for healthy adults and the components of effective ...

Parents attending an adult weight management program, who were worried about their child's weight, would accept support and signposting to services for their child if it was offered.

A research team has identified a crucial link between a gene mutation and immune system signaling in canine hemangiosarcoma, an aggressive cancer common in dogs. The discovery could lead to better ...

Our bodies are made up of around 75 billion cells. But what function does each individual cell perform and how greatly do a healthy person's cells differ from those of someone with a disease? To draw ...

A team has identified a strain of bacteria that can break down and transform at least three types of PFAS, and, perhaps even more crucially, some of the toxic byproducts of the bond-breaking process.
