Fountain of youth for heart health may lie in the gut
As our collection of resident gut bacteria changes with age, it increasingly produces harmful metabolites that damage veins and blood vessels, driving disease, a...
Emotionally attuned managers are better at judging workgroup effectiveness
Experts show for first time that -- even on the fly -- a manager who can read emotions in others well can better evaluate...
New technique for in-cell distance determination
Researchers demonstrate for the first time that the pulsed EPR technique RIDME (relaxation-induced dipolar modulation enhancement) can be used for in-cell distance determination in...
Experiments with roundworms suggest alternatives for the treatment of schizophrenia
Researchers used C. elegans as an animal model to investigate the importance of certain human genes for the treatment of schizophrenia.
