Stanford study combines Apple Watch and AI to study pain exacerbation in kids
A new study at Stanford aims to evaluate how the Apple Watch can play a role in identifying “physiologic, dietary, and environment triggers of severe pain exacerbations” in children with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). In addition to th.....»»
DNA nanotube rings: Research team develops important building block for artificial cells
During cell division, a ring forms around the cell equator, which contracts to divide the cell into two daughter cells. Together with researchers from Heidelberg, Dresden, Tübingen and Harvard, Professor Jan Kierfeld and Lukas Weise from the Departm.....»»
How DHX9 stress granules protect daughter cells from UV-induced RNA damage
During the process of cell division, new daughter cells inherit a mix of genetic material and other molecules from their mother cells. This inheritance includes both beneficial components, which can help them for a robust start in life, and potential.....»»
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.....»»

First atomic-scale "movie" of microtubules under construction, a key process for cell division
Cells in the human body are constantly dividing. With each division, the genetic information contained in the chromosomes is duplicated, and each daughter cell receives a complete copy of the genetic material. It is a sophisticated process, a clockwo.....»»
Ice storms, January downpours, heavy snow, no snow: Diagnosing "warming winter syndrome"
One of the most robust measures of Earth's changing climate is that winter is warming more quickly than other seasons. The cascade of changes it brings, including ice storms and rain in regions that were once reliably below freezing, are symptoms of.....»»
