For centuries, scientists have been fascinated by the remarkable coordinated movements of flocking birds, swarming insects and schooling fish. Researchers have studied these natural phenomena to understand the rules of interactions between individuals that can produce complex gro

Researchers investigating the role of progranulin in cancer progression have previously identified the signaling receptor EphA2 as critical in tumor establishment and a potential target to enhance the effectiveness of chemotherapy. While the exact molecular mechanisms of action a

On the forearms of those working in the laboratory at the University of Oslo, one thing stands out: mysterious round or cross-shaped scars on the skin. Here, researchers need skin cells, and they themselves step up in the service of research. The skin cells are allowed to grow an

Some people with epilepsy experience delusions, hallucinations, paranoia and confusion after a seizure. While these episodes usually last only days, a new study led by researchers at Carilion Clinic suggests they may place patients at significantly higher risk of developing psych

Green spaces could play a key role in helping cities cope with the effects of climate change, yet they still play only a minor role in climate strategies. These were the findings of researchers at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) and Justus Liebig University Giesse

An interdisciplinary team of researchers has developed and demonstrated a step-by-step framework called Socratic Challenger that uses artificial intelligence to help undergraduate students cultivate critical thinking skills. Specifically, the framework uses AI as a collaborator t

As climate change drives more frequent and intense heat waves, plants face growing challenges to survive and remain productive. Researchers at VIB, Ghent University, KU Leuven and their international collaborators have uncovered an evolutionary innovation that helps plants cope w

Researchers at the University of Eastern Finland and the University of Oulu have produced the first chromosome-level reference genome for the Saimaa ringed seal. The sequence of every chromosome in the seal's entire genome has now been read and assembled into virtual maps, includ

While quantum computing could be the future, it is currently plagued by finicky hardware. To make the technology practical, researchers must demonstrate that it consistently and continuously works and performs at scale. In a new study, published in Physical Review Letters, resear

Mass General Brigham Neuroscience Institute researchers have found that a pattern of brain atrophy visible on MRI could help predict how quickly people with early-onset Alzheimer's disease progress from mild cognitive impairment to dementia. This could help patients, families and

Researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) have developed and validated a new risk calculator that can estimate an individual patient's short-term risk of developing a range of diabetes-related complications, using information already collected during ro

Children with severe hearing loss may benefit from cochlear implants at younger ages and under broader eligibility criteria than previously recognized, according to a multicenter study led by researchers at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago. The findings were p
