The research team led by Dr. Youngdo Jeong of the Center for Advanced Biomolecular Recognition the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), in collaboration with Professor Seok-Ho Kang’s team from the Department of Urology, Korea University College of Medicine, has developed a urine-based diagnostic kit for bladder cancer that can be conveniently used at home.
Viruses known as “jumbo phage” are a new hope against the rising antibacterial infection crisis. Researchers have discovered how jumbo phage are able to infect bacteria so efficiently. They found a compartment that protects and hides valuable DNA material from the bacteria’s immune defense system.
When a black hole winks at you
Researchers at WashU Medicine found that a small population of immune cells in the mouse intestine prevents allergic responses to food, suggesting that targeting such cells therapeutically could potentially lead to a new treatment for allergies.
In Rutgers Health study, nearly 40% of participants surveyed reported hearing gunshots multiple times throughout their lives
A second-generation compound outperforms predecessor in the fight against coronavirus.
In a major leap forward for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology, researchers have unveiled a novel miniaturized accelerometer that can boost sensitivity, reducing noise and bias instability while maintaining compact chip size. The innovation centers around a novel anti-spring mechanism featuring pre-shaped curved beams, which enables stiffness softening without requiring large bias forces or displacements.
All states should adopt updated screening protocols so more newborns with cystic fibrosis can be diagnosed in the first weeks of life, when interventions can have the greatest benefit, according to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation guidelines published April 2 in the International Journal of Neonatal Screening.
Military leaders excel and succeed by being decisive, intelligent, and charismatic.
A powerful new software platform called the Playbook Workflow Builder is set to transform biomedical research by allowing scientists to conduct complex and customized data analyses without advanced programming skills. An article that describes the new platform was published in the April 3 online issue of the journal PLOS Computational Biology. Developed by a multi-institutional team that was led by Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai investigators as part of the National Institutes of Health Common Fund Data Ecosystem (CFDE) program, researchers from across the United States developed the web-based platform that enables scientists to analyze and visualize their own data independently through an intuitive, interactive interface.
Microbial organisms – particularly Bacteria – dominate life on Earth, yet tracing their early history and how they have developed over time has long eluded scientists because they rarely fossilize.
In 2022, the American Cancer Society (ACS) updated its nutrition and activity guidelines for cancer survivors, recommending they avoid obesity, stay physically active, eat a healthy diet, and limit alcohol intake. New research by ACS scientists shows a lifestyle aligned with these guidelines is associated with a lower mortality risk among non-smoking survivors of obesity-related cancers in the United States.
The hottest trend on the horizon for artificial intelligence (AI) is agentic AI, according to Jason Moore, PhD, chair of the Department of Computational Biomedicine at Cedars-Sinai
