Walking past a corner bakery, you may find yourself drawn in by the fresh smell of sweets wafting from the front door. You're not alone: The knowledge that humans make decisions based on their noses has led major brands like Cinnabon and Panera Bread to pump the scents of baked goods into their restaurants, leading to big spikes in sales.

Socioeconomic, geographic and demographic factors all played critical roles in the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 mortality among Orange County residents last year, according to a study led by the University of California, Irvine.

Remarkable developments in the field of cancer research in recent years have directed people to the next level in cancer therapy, including vaccines for cancer. But direct inoculation of these vaccines in the affected individuals has often met with failure to deliver the required anti-tumor effects.

The secret behind the unique personalities of an individual lies in the human brain. But the question is whether people are aware of the fact that it can also develop the basis of highly efficient computing devices.

Eggs and embryos go through a more dynamic and complex journey than previously thought The journey of the egg and the embryo through the fallopian tube or oviduct toward the uterus is not well understood, mainly because it is inaccessible for direct imaging. Looking to shed new light on the dynamics of the eggs prior to fertilization and embryo transport preceding implantation, researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and Stevens Institute of Technology developed a novel imaging approach that ...

Mosquitofish undergo physical and behavioral changes due to human-driven habitat change Bahamian mosquitofish in habitats fragmented by human activity are more willing to explore their environment, more stressed by change and have smaller brain regions associated with fear response than mosquitofish from unaffected habitats. The new study from North Carolina State University shows that these fish have adapted quickly in specific ways to human-driven change, and cautions that environmental resto...

Aerosol generated by playing wind instruments is less than that produced when vocalizing Aerosol generated by playing woodwind and brass instruments is less than that produced when vocalizing (speaking and singing) and is no different than a person breathing, new research has found. The findings, published online in the journal Aerosol Science and Technology, could be crucial to developing a roadmap for lifting COVID-19 restrictions in the performing arts, which have been significantly restric...

Researchers at the University of Illinois Chicago have shown that even after lung tissue has been damaged, it may be possible to reverse fibrosis and promote tissue repair through treatment with microgel-coated mesenchymal stromal cells.

A multidisciplinary research team led by Jonathan Lakey, Ph.D., professor of surgery and biomedical engineering at the University of California, Irvine, has developed a biomaterial for pancreatic islet transplants that doesn't trigger the body's immune response.

New microbial genes responsible for bile acid conversion is a major step forward for gut health As the owner of a human body, youre carrying trillions of microbes with you everywhere you go. These microscopic organisms arent just hitching a ride; many of them perform essential chemical reactions that regulate everything from our digestion to our immune system to our moods. One important set of reactions relates to fat absorption via bile acids. Our livers make these acids to help digest fats an...
