Surprising complexity in simple particle model of composite materials

Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have used computer simulations to model how a composite material reacts to loading. They studied a particle model of a pillar of stiffer material in a...

Circadian cycle controls the brain’s ability to clear a protein linked to Alzheimer’s disease

The brain's ability to clear a protein closely linked to Alzheimer's disease is tied to our circadian cycle, according to research published today in PLOS Genetics. The research underscores the importance of healthy sleep...

Circadian Cycle Controls Clearance of Alzheimer’s-Associated Amyloid Protein

Studies by scientists at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have found that the brain’s ability to clear a protein that builds up in the brains of patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is tied to our daily...

Plant Regeneration Promoted by Blocking Glutamate Receptors

When injured, plants trigger regenerative and defense processes. Until now, it has been unclear whether these “fix and fight” responses activate together or represent biological trade-offs. A new study shows glutamate like receptor proteins (GLRs),...

Smartphone app can vibrate a single drop of blood to determine how well it...

Blood clots form naturally as a way to stop bleeding when someone is injured. But blood clots in patients with medical issues, such as mechanical heart valves or other heart conditions, can lead to...

On Point: Paracrine’s Cell Therapy Uses Adipose-Derived Regenerative Cells for Autologous Reimplantation

Paracrine utilizes an autologous mixed population of adipose-derived regenerative cells that contribute to multiple cell lineages and mechanisms of action to treat complex conditions. This unique heterogeneous cell therapy addresses critical underlying pathologic conditions....

Disulfiram Protects Against COVID-19 Lung Injury in Preclinical Study

An FDA-approved drug that has been in clinical use for more than 70 years may protect against lung injury and the risk of blood clots in severe COVID-19 and other disorders that cause immune-mediated...

Omicron resists antibodies, causes less severe disease than previous SARS-CoV-2variants

In two recent studies, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis found evidence that the omicron variant of the virus that causes COVID-19 causes less severe disease than previous variants —...

Epigenetic effects of pollution persist for multiple generations in water fleas

A new study led by University of Liverpool reserchers has shown that the effects of pollutants can be transmitted over many generations in water fleas and may persist long enough to influence the evolutionary process. Credit:...
