Research finds new evidence about the mechanisms controlling skin repair and regeneration As the air continues to dry and temperatures drop, the yearly battle against dry hands and skin has officially begun. New research from Northwestern University has found new evidence deep within the skin about the mechanisms controlling skin repair and renewal. Skins barrier function gives it the unique ability to fight winter woes and retain water for our bodies. The outer layer of the skin, the epidermis...

New cancer models mimic aspects of mechanical environment within the body As cancer and tumor cells move inside the human body, they impart and are subject to mechanical forces. In order to understand how these actions affect cancer cell growth, spread, and invasion, a team of engineers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute is developing new models that mimic aspects of the mechanical environment within the body, providing new insight into how and why tumors develop in certain ways. In research p...

Researchers are merging artificial intelligence (AI) and the latest computer technology with biological know-how to identify insects that possess supernatural speed.

Researchers uncover key regulation step that inhibits tumor growth Most living things need oxygen to grow and thrive. Even cancerous tumors. Thats why tumors will readily sprout new blood vessels if their oxygen is starved, creating new lifelines for survival. A study published today from Scripps Research pinpoints the precise molecular machinery that makes this happen, providing scientific insights that can potentially be translated into medicines that help kill tumors and stop cancer from spr...

Brain tissue analysis may help explain enduring mysteries about PTSD A post-mortem analysis of brain tissue from people who had been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) may help explain enduring mysteries about the disorder, such as why women are more susceptible to it and whether a dampened immune system response plays a role in dealing with stress, a team headed by Yale University researchers has found. The analysis of gene expression patterns in brain tissue located in four ...

Social media platforms shape behavioral response of young people to COVID-19 outbreak At the start of the pandemic, young Singaporeans regarded COVID-19 as a threat to the older generation but not to themselves, finds NTU Singapore study During the early stages of the COVID-19 outbreak, young Singaporeans understood the infectious disease to be risky for their parents and older relatives, but not themselves, a Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) study has found. Young Si...

IU researchers receive $2.9 million grant to expand work on subconcussive impacts Every year, nearly 2.5 million U.S. high school athletes participate in contact sports. Each of these athletes sustains an average of 650 subconcussive head impacts in a single season, hits that can negatively affect brain health. A $2.9 million grant from the National Institutes of Health will help researchers at Indiana University determine whether, and to what extent, repetitive subconcussive head impacts -- im...

Population mobility patterns could help address malaria in the Amazon, say scientists Understanding population mobility patterns could hold the key to tackling malaria in the Amazon, say scientists. Malaria has traditionally been seen as a rural scourge, but increasingly it is being documented in or near urban areas, experts warn, as a new study shows that human mobility plays an important role in the "urbanisation" of the disease. The research aimed to find out how the Plasmodium parasite, wh...

Study: Robots can Inspire Humans to Take Risks Written by AZoRoboticsDec 14 2020 A new study demonstrates that robots can motivate humans to take bigger risks in a simulated gambling scenario than they would if there was nothing to impact their actions. A SoftBank Robotics Pepper robot was used in the two robot conditions. Image Credit: University of Southampton. Improving the understanding of whether robots can influence risk-taking could have distinct practical, ethical and policy implicatio...

You guys like elton john? just checking. its a massive turnout tomorrow. thats all it is. we will get the government we deserve. keeping our eyes also on a potential shocker of all places, in new jersey. bob you again, a marine, semper fi, bob. closer than anyone predicted. and in the great state of texas, ted cruz has maintained a study lead against bozo overworked. even though this democrat has literally almost gotten a hundred million dollars to throw at the greatest constitutionalist in the ...
