Unintentional weight loss in people with Down syndrome may predict the onset of Alzheimer's disease long before typical cognitive symptoms like memory loss and dementia are apparent.
According to a recent study, researchers found that examined data from more than 500,000 people between the ages of 18 and 49, young adults who experience sadness or depression are more likely to develop cardiovascular disease (CVD) and have poor heart health. The findings support a growing
In a recent study, researchers at North Carolina State University discovered that ants did not modify their behaviour in response to rising temperatures and remained in suboptimal microhabitats even when ideal ones were there. The discovery shows that ants may be unable to change their behav
This migration mode is one of the ways cancer cells navigate tissue during metastasis. In a new study researchers have explored mesenchymal migration through cell simulations and mathematical modeling. Their aim: to learn more about how cancer cells size up surrounding tissue for stiffness a
A new study at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis may help explain how excess weight can contribute to diabetes and may provide researchers with a target to help prevent or delay diabetes in some of those at risk.
The number of fish species recorded in Madidi National Park and Natural Integrated Management Area (PNANMI), Bolivia has doubled to a staggering 333 species - with as many as 35 species new to science - according of a study conducted as part of the Identidad Madidi expedition led by the Wild
In a new study, researchers have taken a close look at three treatment approaches that have been widely believed to slow the aging process. However, when tested in mice, these treatments proved largely ineffective in their supposed impact on aging.
In a global study, researchers have identified that most reservoirs of rodent-borne diseases tend to live exclusively or occasionally in or near human dwellings, show large fluctuations in their numbers, and/or are hunted for meat or fur.
Photogrammetry is a process through which, taking two-dimensional images of flowers and creating specialized 3D models to better study and understand their different elements and dimensions, has become possible.
University of Minnesota Twin Cities researchers has discovered a new method to move objects using ultrasound waves. The research opens the door for using contactless manipulation in industries such as manufacturing and robotics, where devices wouldn't need a built-in power source in order to
