Crouching lion, hidden giraffe
The behavior of giraffe groups with calves is influenced more strongly by the risk of predators than is the behavior of all-adult groups, which...
This protein is how creatures sense cold
Researchers have identified a receptor protein that can detect when winter is coming.
Cracking the code of a brain cancer that keeps coming back
Researchers used a powerful new computer-assisted technology called single-cell transcriptomics that measures thousands of individual cells simultaneously to map cell types and molecular cascades...
How visceral leishmaniasis spread through central-Southern Brazil
The protozoan disease visceral leishmaniasis (VL) has recently expanded to places where it had not previously been reported and has expanded its geographic distribution...
First all-metamaterial optical gas sensor
Researchers have developed the first fully-integrated, non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) gas sensor enabled by specially engineered synthetic materials known as metamaterials. The sensor has no...
How chikungunya virus may cause chronic joint pain
A new method for permanently marking cells infected with chikungunya virus could reveal how the virus continues to cause joint pain for months to...
Study of bile acids links individual’s genetics and microbial gut community
Researchers have identified genetic variants in mice that impact the levels of different bile acids as well as the size of a specific population...
Brain waves detected in mini-brains grown in a dish
Scientists have created miniature brains from stem cells that developed functional neural networks. Despite being a million times smaller than human brains, these lab-grown...
A new way to measure how water moves
A new method to measure pore structure and water flow can help scientists more accurately and cheaply determine how fast water, contaminants, nutrients and...
Blocking specific protein could provide new treatment for deadly form of prostate cancer
Blocking a kinase known as CDK7 sets off a chain reaction that results in the death of prostate cancer cells that have spread and...
