Scientists at the Josep Carreras Institute and CIC Biogune in Spain have revealed in their study that blood vessels regulate obesity through a molecular communication in which vessel cells instruct fat cells.

Scientists at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) have found that people with Parkinson's disease have a clear genetic signature of the disease in their memory T cells. The scientists hope that targeting these genes may open the door to new Parkinson's treatments and diagnostics.

A Himalayan lake is known for its many skeletal remains. How they got there has been a mystery for many years. Now, scientists at Penn State resorted to radiocarbon dating to reveal this ancient secret.

ETH researchers are using synthetic biology to reprogram bacterial viruses — commonly known as bacteriophages — to expand their natural host range. This technology paves the way for the therapeutic use of standardized, synthetic bacteriophages to treat bacterial infections, the scientists claim.

According to a study published by The Lancet, rates of excess deaths are estimated to have varied widely between countries and within regions, though the pandemic’s true death toll has been far higher in some locations — particularly South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa — than official Covid-19 death records suggest.

Researchers at the Maximilians-Universität München and the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research in Germany have deciphered the complex genome of the potato. The success of this project will help speed up the breeding of more new varieties of potatoes.

The chemistry of water is fascinating but also incredibly controversial! In a video, the American Chemical Society dives into heated debates about the science of water and its weirdness.

Scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in California, USA have recently stated that they were surprised to discover that a worm with only 302 neurons as compared to the 86 billion in humans, was capable of undertaking complex and flexible decisions.

Imagine a device that can sit outside under blazing sunlight on a clear day, and without using any power cool things down by more than 13 °C. It almost sounds like magic, but a new system designed by researchers at MIT and in Chile can do exactly that.

New research from RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences has revealed that the link between ‘bad’ cholesterol (LDL-C) and poor health outcomes, such as heart attack and stroke, may not be as strong as previously thought.
