| Daytime meals may reduce health risks linked to night shift work Posted: 03 Dec 2021 12:14 PM PST A small clinical trial has found that eating during the nighttime -- like many shift workers do -- can increase glucose levels, while eating only during the daytime might prevent the higher glucose levels now linked with a nocturnal work life. |
| Gene-editing used to create single sex mice litters, 100% efficiency Posted: 03 Dec 2021 05:15 AM PST Scientists have used gene editing technology to create female-only and male-only mice litters with 100% efficiency. |
| Wild blue wonder: X-ray beam explores food color protein Posted: 02 Dec 2021 04:11 PM PST A natural food colorant called phycocyanin provides a fun, vivid blue in soft drinks, but it is unstable on grocery shelves. A synchrotron is helping to steady it. |
| Posted: 02 Dec 2021 01:21 PM PST The majority of dog breeds are highly inbred, contributing to an increase in disease and health care costs throughout their lifespan, according to new research. |
| Researchers attacking menacing ‘superbug’ Posted: 02 Dec 2021 01:21 PM PST Scientists around the world have been working in earnest to improve understanding of an increasingly virulent superbug, Clostridium difficile. The highly contagious hospital-acquired pathogen, designated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as one of the five most urgent threats to the U.S. healthcare system, causes more than 500,000 infections and 29,000 deaths each year at a total societal cost exceeding $5 billion. |
| Posted: 02 Dec 2021 12:39 PM PST A new study confirms that the Gulf of St. Lawrence is an important habitat for a large proportion of the endangered North Atlantic right whale population. |
| Novel 3D printing technique to engineer biofilms Posted: 02 Dec 2021 11:16 AM PST Biologists are studying how engineered biofilms closely mimic natural ones. Their research may aid in developing drugs to fight the negative effects of these microorganisms that adhere to surfaces. |
| Stemming the tide of invasive weeds with herbicide capsules Posted: 02 Dec 2021 11:15 AM PST An innovative herbicide delivery system could revolutionize the way agricultural and environmental managers battle invasive weeds. |
| Host and resident bacteria join forces to control fungi in plant roots Posted: 02 Dec 2021 11:15 AM PST Researchers have discovered that diverse root-colonizing fungi can benefit plants, but only when they are kept in check by the host innate immune system and the bacteria residing in roots. |
| Harnessing the organization of the cell surface Posted: 02 Dec 2021 11:15 AM PST Scientists have developed a new method to determine how proteins are organized on the surface of cells. Insights gained with the technology could lead to the development of novel drugs to fight cancer. |
| The layered effect: A single-cell map of corn’s root reveals a regulator of cellular diversity Posted: 02 Dec 2021 11:15 AM PST A new study uses novel single-cell profiling techniques to reveal how plants add new cell layers that help them resist climate stressors like drought or flooding. The research focuses on corn -- a critically important crop around the world -- in an effort to create a cell-by-cell map of the plant's root system, which mediates drought stress and absorbs nutrients and fertilizer from the soil. |
| Building a human body through gastrulation Posted: 02 Dec 2021 11:14 AM PST Researchers offer a phylogenetic and ontogenetic overview of the primitive streak and its role in mediating amniote (vertebrate animals that develop on land) gastrulation, and discuss the implications of embryonic stem cell-based models of early mammalian embryogenesis on the function of this structure. |
| Adding single type of bacteria to gut microbiome boosted anti-tumor immunity in mice Posted: 02 Dec 2021 08:34 AM PST Bacterium common in the mouse gut microbiome can charge up the immune system to fight cancer cells in the colon. |
| Efforts to restore Indonesian peatlands could save billions in wildfire costs Posted: 02 Dec 2021 06:29 AM PST Plans to restore Indonesian peatlands are a cost-effective strategy for reducing the impacts of peatland fires to the environment, climate and human health, says a new study. The study uses satellite data and models to estimate that peatland restoration could have resulted in economic savings of US $8.4 billion for 2004--2015. |
| Unconventional T cells promote immunity to malaria Posted: 01 Dec 2021 11:53 AM PST Researchers have made a vital breakthrough in the understanding of a new facet of the immune response to malaria, which will help in the development of a vaccine. |
