A recent study has found that just eight percent of all depictions of AI professionals from a century of film are women — and half of these are shown as subordinate to men. Thus, cinema promotes AI as the product of lone male geniuses with god complexes, say researchers.

Researchers have suggested that the addition of nutritionally important mineral salts to noncaloric sweeteners will help it to taste more like real sugar. The blend also proved to give better flavor to zero- and low-calorie drinks.

A study supported by the National Institutes of Health has revealed that adults with hypertension witnessed a small increase in their blood pressure during the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic. It adds that measures such as home-monitoring and telemedicine may have helped to keep the pressure under control.

Affordable, light-weight, compact, and easy-to-use, a groundbreaking invention in the field of assistive technology is sensitive in detecting bite forces, enabling users to control devices such as computers, smartphones and wheelchairs with precision.

Our sense of smell has a powerful effect on our behavior and emotions. Aromas can evoke vivid memories of the past or warn us of a smoldering fire. Yet to neuroscientists, smell remains the most mysterious of our five senses.

Eating fire ants might prepare a lizard’s immune system to be stung by the ants, according to a new study by researchers at Penn State. The study comprehensively assessed how the immune system responds to lizards eating and being stung by these ants and might help researchers understand how other native species respond and adapt to the invasive insects.

Two mutations in the melanocortin 2 receptor gene — which is involved in the production of the stress hormone cortisol — may have played a role in the domestication of dogs by allowing them to develop social cognitive skills in order to interact and communicate with humans.

By culturing human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neurons on coatings with ‘dancing molecules,’ researchers created mature neurons. These neurons could be transplanted into patients with spinal cord injuries or neurodegenerative diseases to replace lost or damaged neurons.

Amsbio has expanded its iMatrix series of recombinant laminin E8 fragments with isoforms LN-111 and LN-332. The newly added range provides greater flexibility and control when tailoring one’s substrate to the requirements of specific cultured cells.

In a major Swedish study, researchers have discovered a link between the levels of certain bacteria living in the gut and coronary atherosclerotic plaques. Such atherosclerotic plaques, which are formed by the build-up of fatty and cholesterol deposits, constitute a major cause of heart attacks.
