Apple is researching ways to embed multiple cameras in the body of a "flexible" device like a folding iPhone or iPad, and allow the device to be bent to take a picture or change a setting of the embedded cameras.Apple's original patent shows a potent.....»»
Our bacteria are more personal than we thought, new study shows
The trillions of bacteria that call your body home—collectively known as the microbiome—appear to be unique to you, like a fingerprint. That's one conclusion of a detailed study of the gut, mouth, nose and skin microbiomes of 86 people. Over the.....»»
Prehistoric piercings may have been coming-of-age ritual
Archaeologists have discovered more than 100 ornaments for use in piercings in ~11,000-year-old adult burials in Türkiye, providing the earliest conclusive evidence for body perforation and suggesting that piercing may have been a coming-of-age ritu.....»»

How cells in developing embryos change the way they use enhancers to regulate gene expression
If you look at a nerve cell, a muscle cell, or a skin cell under the microscope, they appear strikingly different. However, every cell in our body has the same DNA and has descended from a common ancestor—the fertilized egg cell. The diversity we o.....»»
The people of Earth prepare for war in final trailer for 3 Body Problem
"When your consciousness ends in one world, it could continue to exist in many other worlds." Netflix's new sci-fi series 3 Body Problem makes its world premiere tonight at the SXSW Film & Television festival in Austin. The countdow.....»»
Exploring the inner workings of stem cells: When location changes the message
Stem cells are the body's wellspring of renewal. They can turn into any kind of cell the body needs, from liver to skin to bone. But the well would run dry if all the stem cells transformed......»»
Newly discovered protein prevents DNA triplication
Every time a cell divides, its DNA is duplicated so that the two daughter cells have the same genetic material as their parent. This means that, millions of times a day, a biochemical wonder takes place in the body: the copying of the DNA molecule. I.....»»
Research explores the cooling effects of "scuba-diving" in lizards
Anoles are the scuba-diving champions of the lizard world, able to stay underwater for more than 16 minutes. For animals whose body temperature depends on the environment, time spent in a cool running stream can have some tradeoffs......»»

Brutally bludgeoned “Vittrup Man” went from forager to farmer before his death
The skull was shattered by at least eight blows before the body was tossed into a peat bog. Enlarge / The cranial remains of Vittrup Man, who was bludgeoned to death and tossed in a peat bog between 3300-3100 BCE. (credit: Stephe.....»»
The bog is where forensics and archaeology meet to solve "cold cases"
Occasionally, police investigators find themselves announcing archaeological discoveries, rather than criminal findings. In 1984, for example, police oversaw the recovery of the Iron Age bog body (a naturally mummified corpse found in a peat bog) lat.....»»
Researchers produce 3D model of the ribosome and visualize how it is made
Human cells contain ribosomes, a complex machine that produces proteins for the rest of the body. Now the researchers have come closer to understanding how the ribosome works......»»
Researchers develop hemostatic agent from mussels and silkworm cocoons to stop organ bleeding
In recent news, there has been a case where a patient experienced pain due to a surgical procedure involving sutures, resulting in the unintended presence of gauze within the patient's body. Gauze is typically employed to control bleeding during medi.....»»
Research project on the Atlantic highlights worldwide efforts to preserve marine biodiversity
When it comes to life on Earth, the importance of the Atlantic Ocean may be bigger even than its size. The world's second-largest body of water after the Pacific, the Atlantic is unique because of its large-scale ocean circulation. This movement of w.....»»
Research team develops nanoscale device for brain chemistry analysis
Longstanding challenges in biomedical research such as monitoring brain chemistry and tracking the spread of drugs through the body require much smaller and more precise sensors. A new nanoscale sensor that can monitor areas 1,000 times smaller than.....»»
Learning how cells dispose of unwanted materials is key to potential new therapeutics, say scientists
Are you sick and tired of getting sick and tired? A UNLV-led research team is exploring whether the reason we sometimes feel ill in the first place is because our body's cells suffer from trash that accumulates within them......»»
SPNS2 found to be directly exporting S1P for signaling, can be inhibited
When an enemy invades, defenders are ferried to the site to neutralize the marauders. In the human body, a protein carrier called SPNS2 transports S1P molecules from endothelial cells to rally immune cell response in infected organs and tissues......»»
New insights in the regulation of genetic information exchange
Within every cell in our body, our DNA is tightly bundled with proteins to form structures known as chromosomes. The commonly known shape of a chromosome relates to an X-shaped appearance in many organisms. The formation of the X-shaped chromosome re.....»»
Nanoparticles "hitchhike" on immune cells to catch cancer metastasis early
Lymph nodes are the canaries in the coal mine of our immune system—firing into gear at the first indication of illness, then sending immune cells where they're needed in the body to fight infection and disease......»»
