Scientists at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale De Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland, studied centrioles and discovered the possibility that centrioles might carry defective mutations that could pass on a broad range of diseases to a growing Read More
Astronomers from Chalmers University of Technology and Onsala Space Observatory, Sweden, studied supermassive black holes to find out whether they were surrounded by a magnetic field. Supermassive black holes, often with masses billions of times Read More
Researchers from Georgetown University Medical Center (GUMC) published a study which shows that the brain learns new words faster by recognizing them as complete words rather than in parts, and remembered them as pictures for Read More
A group of researchers, including Dr. John Pasley of the York Plasma Institute, Department of Physics, discovered that stars generate sound. While studying the interaction of an ultra-intense laser with a plasma target, the team Read More
It is known that Vitamin D is essential for bone health and muscle function. However, there is a widespread belief that vitamin D levels are related to depression although it is not backed by any Read More
Toxoplasma gondii – an intracellular, parasitic protozoan that causes the disease toxoplasmosis – has reportedly infected many humans. The parasite makes significant alteration in astrocytes (some of the brain’s most critical cells), which seemingly causes subtle Read More
Although it is known that Type 1 diabetes occurs when the body’s immune system kills insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, researchers were not aware of the exact genes that cause the disease. A research group Read More
A team of researchers from the USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology has discovered a new hormone “MOTS-c,” a mitochondrial-derived peptide hormone that imitates the effects commonly associated with exercising. It counters insulin insensitivity and Read More
Dr. Robert Davey, a virologist in the Department of Immunology and Virology at Texas Biomedical Research Institute, and his team focused their research on the mechanism by which Ebola virus infects a cell and discovered Read More
Chemicals known as emulsifiers are commonly added in most processed foods to enhance the foods’ texture. Emulsifiers are considered safe due to the lack of evidence that they increase the risk of cancer or have Read More
