JOPLIN, Mo. (KOAM) - Missouri American Water will host a check presentation ceremony to honor Joplin High Schools Science Research Program as a 2024 Water and Environment grantee.

A groundbreaking study conducted by Professor Jiyoung Park and her research team in the Department of Biological Sciences at UNIST has identified FAM3C, a metabolism-regulating signaling molecule produced by cancer-associated adipocytes (CAAs), as a key regulator of breast cancer progression within the tumor microenvironment (TME).

Early lung-specific response to atezolizumab plus bevacizumab was associated with longer overall survival in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma with pulmonary metastases.

The Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM) is planning its Conference on Machine Intelligence in Medical Imaging, SIIM CMIMI23, co-sponsored by American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM), to be held in-person October 1-2, 2023 at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, MD. 

Researchers from the School of Dental Medicine and the School of Engineering and Applied Science have developed a nanorobot system that targets fungal infections in the mouth. “Current antifungal therapies lack the power and specificity required to quickly and effectively eliminate these pathogens, so this collaboration draws from our clinical knowledge and combines expertise in robotics to offer a new approach,” says Dental’s Hyun (Michel) Koo.

Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting is a useful technique that has been widely utilized in our lives, ranging from reconstructive plastic surgery to artificial organ production. However, many biopolymers, such as nucleic acids, polysaccharides, and pr

Glaucoma is a common ocular disease in which the optic nerve malfunctions due to the increased intraocular pressure (IOP) caused by drainage canal blocking in the eye.

Eco-friendly paper straws that do not easily become soggy and are 100% biodegradable in the ocean and soil have been developed. The straws are easy to mass-produce and thus are expected to be implemented in response to the regulations on plastic straws in restaurants and cafés.

Ohio Wesleyan Students Present Results of Summer Research at Oct. 6 Symposium

Scientists recently developed a mind-reading system to decode neural signals from the brain during arm movement. An individual can use the method, to control a robotic arm via a brain-machine interface (BMI).
