In highly developed nations, Indigenous people may have a higher stroke rate, according to a new study highlighting a dire requirement for more information and adequately designed studies. Every year, almost 12 million individuals worldwide have a stroke, which occurs when a vessel transporting blood to the brain is obstructed by a clot or the...
Microscopic image of nanowires. Credit: Dr Takao Yasui At Nagoya University in Japan, researchers have used a new device to spot an essential membrane protein in the urine, indicating whether the patient has a brain tumors. This protein could be utilized to spot brain cancer, preventing the need for invasive tests and enhancing the probability of...
A series of green laser beams seen over Hawaii in January. (National Observatory of Japan) Above the islands of Hawaii on January 28th, a green laser was seen piercing the evening sky, silently tracing a course towards the horizon such as a stutter in the Matrix's code. The scene was captured on camera from a telescope atop...
Fluorescence staining of Arlo cells. The image shows the overlay of a staining of cell nuclei (gray) and the tight junction protein 1 (blue) and was taken with a confocal laser scanning microscope.

Atherogenesis is depicted in a young (a) or aged (b) host. Aged monocytes/macrophages have decreased levels of the epigenetic regulator TET2, leading to reduction of the 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) mark on the Itgb3 promoter. The resulting low integrin β3 levels in aged monocytes/macrophages induces high TNFα levels, facilitating recruitment and expansion of multiple SMC progenitors...

" Girls are approximately a year ahead of boys regarding reading ability in OECD nations, in contrast to a wafer-thin and reducing advantage for boys in mathematics. Boys are fifty percent more likely than girls to fail at...
Credit: University of Glasgow A research study from a worldwide group of researchers has cast new light on the physics of vitrification-- the process by which glass forms. Their findings, which center on analyzing a common feature of glasses called the boson peak, might help pave the way for recent developments in product science. The peak could...
Numerical simulation of the neutron stars merging to form a black hole, with their accretion disks interacting to produce electromagnetic waves. Credit: L. Rezolla (AEI) & M. Koppitz (AEI & Zuse-Institut Berlin) Researchers have advanced in finding out how to utilize ripples in space-time considered as gravitational waves to peer back to the beginning of...
