Scientists make a Significant Advance in Genomic Sequencing
The public’s access to genetic information is increasing as genomic sequencing technology progresses and costs continue to decline. It remains to be seen how this…
In Mice with Influenza, Dietary Cholesterol Increases Inflammation and Sickness
High levels of dietary cholesterol make mice worse when infected with influenza, according to a new study from the University of Illinois. The study is…
Neurons and Synapses of Neuromorphic Memory Device are Simulated
The use of very-large-scale integration (VLSI) systems containing electronic analog circuits to imitate neuro-biological architectures present in the nervous system is known as neuromorphic engineering.…
Monitoring Microplastics’ ‘Journey’ Through a Living Organism’s Intestine
The behavior of microplastics during their “journey” through the intestinal tract of a living organism has been tracked by a UAB research team, and what…
Genes have improved Bioprinting for Bone Repair
The body will heal given enough time and energy, but when doctors or engineers intervene, the processes do not always go as planned because chemicals…
Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria that can Spread Across Animals, Humans, and the Environment are Identified Using Machine Learning
Experts at the University of Nottingham have created ground-breaking software that combines DNA sequencing and machine learning to assist researchers figure out where and how…
Humans may Transmit Hazardous Gut Microorganisms to Urban Animals
Animals who move to the city may get more than they bargained for. Gut microbes from humans in cities may be contaminating urban wildlife, putting…
Long-term Memory Storage has been Identified by Neuroscientists
The brain is buzzing with activity. Different groupings of neurons (nerve cells) responsible for various ideas or senses come and go. Memory is the reactivation…
Early Echoes of a Neurological System can be found in Brainless Sponges
Scientists have captured a sponge sneezing, indicating that even without a neural system, these primitive organisms can feel and respond to their surroundings. Sponges are…
Modified Genes can Alter the Interactions of Wild Cotton with Insects
Cotton plants endemic to Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula may appear identical — untidy and uncontrolled bushes with flowers that change from pale yellow to violet as…
Researchers have Created a Bacteria Strain that can Protect ‘Good’ Gut Bacteria from Antibiotics
Antibiotics save lives, but they also destroy the healthy bacteria that exist in the human gut. Some people are at risk of getting inflammation or…
