If we can slow down the pace of the aging process, more elderly people will be able to stay healthy. More people may then enjoy good health in their old age than what is the case today. A new study shows that it may be possible to achieve just that.

Existing ways of calculating biodiversity dynamics are not very effective in detecting wholesale species community change due to the effects of ocean acidification. University of Adelaide research shows that in cases where biodiversity metrics show no change or little change, there may still be reorganisation of ecological communities in our oceans.

Nanoengineers at the University of California San Diego have developed microscopic robots, called microrobots, that can swim around in the lungs, deliver medication and be used to clear up life-threatening cases of bacterial pneumonia.

Biologists from the University of Michigan have disclosed a new study involving the genetic manipulation of yeast cells which goes on to explain that synonymous or silent genetic mutations are harmful and not neutral as assumed earlier.

Size distribution, shape factor, bulk density —  there are numerous parameters that describe a bulk material as a whole. But their determination is also subject to many sources of error. These six tips for particle analysis show how to ensure that you end up with meaningful results when characterizing powders.

Inadequate pollination has led to a three to five percent loss of fruit, vegetable, and nut production and an estimated 427,000 excess deaths annually from lost healthy food consumption and associated diseases, according to research led by Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

A team led by researchers at the University of Washington has developed a laboratory test that can measure levels of amyloid beta oligomers in blood samples. This toxic protein is an indicator for the development Alzheimer’s disease.

A newly identified heat-stable Cas13 enzyme could lead to improved diagnostics and new biotechnological applications. It can be used with RT-Lamp to specifically detect target genetic material in a one-pot assay without the need for new reagents.

Researchers at the Northwestern University have revealed in a new study that the length of genes leads to most of the molecular-level changes that occur during aging. With the help of this study, it could become possible to slow or even reverse aging.

Researchers at the University of Bern and Inselspital and the University Hospital Bern are exploring the use of artificial intelligence in the personalized treatment of heart muscle inflammation i.e. myocarditis.
