Illuminating tissue formation through flourescence
Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a molecule that fluoresces where new tissue is forming in the body. Alongside helping to detect tumors, the molecule could play a significant role in research of wound healing disorders......»»
Team develops 2D ultrasound-responsive antibacterial nano-sheets to effectively address bone tissue infection
A research team led by Professor Kelvin Yeung Wai-kwok from the Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, School of Clinical Medicine, LKS Faculty of Medicine, the University of Hong Kong (HKUMed) has invented a non-invasive and non-antibiotics te.....»»
The Paja Formation: An ecosystem of monsters
What allowed an ecosystem to support toothy predators all over the food chain? Enlarge / A sea turtle of the sort found in the Paja Formation. (credit: Wikimedia Commons) Roughly 130 million years ago, in an area within.....»»
How blocking cell wall formation stops bacterial cell division
Researchers still do not understand exactly how antibiotics kill bacteria. However, this understanding is necessary to develop new antibiotics. And that is precisely what is urgently needed, because bacteria are currently showing more and more resist.....»»
The Quest for Injectable Brain Implants Has Begun
The hard electrodes inserted into the brain to treat Parkinson’s and paralysis damage the organ’s soft tissue. A new invention could change that......»»
Compressive stress shapes the symmetry of Arabidopsis root vascular tissue
The generation and maintenance of tissue boundaries are fundamental to the development of functional organs in both plants and animals. In general, tissue boundaries are initially set among primordial cells, and their shapes and arrangements are refi.....»»
Study uncovers the fundamental mechanisms underlying the formation of polarons in 2D atomic crystals
Polarons are localized quasiparticles that result from the interaction between fermionic particles and bosonic fields. Specifically, polarons are formed when individual electrons in crystals distort their surrounding atomic lattice, producing composi.....»»
Researchers capture early stages of star formation from JWST data
A team of researchers has been able to see inside faraway spiral galaxies for the first time to study how they formed and how they change over time, thanks to the powerful capabilities of the James Webb Space Telescope......»»
Cyborg technology analyzes the functional maturation of stem-cell derived heart tissue
Research in animal models has demonstrated that stem-cell derived heart tissues have promising potential for therapeutic applications to treat cardiac disease. But before such therapies are viable and safe for use in humans, scientists must first pre.....»»
Tracing the history of water in planet formation back to the interstellar medium
Scientists studying a nearby protostar have detected the presence of water in its circumstellar disk. The new observations made with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) mark the first detection of water being inherited into a prot.....»»
Major North American oil source yields clues to one of Earth"s deadliest mass extinctions
The Bakken Shale Formation—a 200,000-square-mile shale deposit below parts of Canada and North Dakota—has supplied billions of barrels of oil and natural gas to North America for 70 years. A new discovery reveals that the rocks also open a unique.....»»
Heart tissue heads to space to aid research on aging and impact of long spaceflights
Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers are collaborating with NASA to send human heart "tissue-on-a-chip" specimens into space as early as March. The project is designed to monitor the tissue for changes in heart muscle cells' mitochondria (their power s.....»»
Researchers find HERC1 protein deficiency causes osteopenia
Bones remain healthy thanks to the fact that they are continuously remodeling, a process dependent on the balance between the activity of osteoblasts—cells that create bone tissue—and the osteoclasts, which reabsorb it. An imbalance between these.....»»
Researchers observe solar filament formation caused by oscillation magnetic reconnection
Researchers led by Yan Xiaoli from the Yunnan Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with Sun Xia and Liang Hongfei from Yunnan Normal University, have clearly observed the formation of an intermediate solar filament cause.....»»

Study finds political campaigns may change the choices of voters—but not their policy views
A new paper in The Quarterly Journal of Economics, published by Oxford University Press, measures the overall impact of electoral campaigns and finds that televised debates have little effect on the formation of voter choice. Information received fro.....»»
DALL-E 2 and Midjourney can be a boon for industrial designers
AI lets designers input abstract concepts and turn them into a flood of images. Enlarge / A volcano-themed tissue box designed with the help of AI-assisted image generation (credit: Juan Nougera (CC-BY-SA)) Since the int.....»»
Illuminating the science of black holes and gamma-ray bursts using high-power lasers
High-power lasers now create record-high numbers of electron-positron pairs, opening exciting opportunities to study extreme astrophysical processes, such as black holes and gamma-ray bursts......»»
Oldest evidence of South American egg-laying mammals found in Patagonia
It was just a tooth and a fragment of jaw bone—discovered in an excavation layer of the Chorrillo Formation, a unique geological formation in Patagonia, Argentina. Field researchers found it amongst fossils of both terrestrial and aquatic mollusks,.....»»
Scientists propose a new filler for bone implants with increased bioactivity
An international team of scientists with the participation of researchers from NUST MISIS has proposed an alternative filler for 3D printed bone scaffolds based on calcium silicate. The material prevents the formation of a bacterial film on the surfa.....»»
