The elimination of all animal agriculture in the following 15 years would severely diminish greenhouse gas emissions and remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Research into the climatological impacts of raising animals for food implicates that eliminating all animal agriculture has the potentially to considerably change the direction of global warming. The project is a cooperation...
Scientists have found new insights about lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), a rare lung disease, which affects approximately 1 in 200,00 Americans and typically includes the growth of abnormal cells in different tissues and organs, including the lungs. Lymphangioleiomyomatosis research As scientists studied LAM cells in the lab, they found a "mixed phenotype," or distinctions in physical expression in...
A genome study carried out by Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center scientists to search for variants in a gene thought about an essential building block for microscopic structures that manufacture proteins took a shocking twist. Human ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes are essential for constructing ribosomes or mechanisms that translate proteins. The study findings, to be...
Many individuals believe that mathematics is a human invention. In this way of thinking, mathematics is like a language: it may define actual things on the planet. However, it does not "exist" outside the minds of the people who utilize it. However, the Pythagorean school of thought in ancient Greece held a different sight. Its...
The patterns of the ocellated lizard are predictable by a mathematical model. Credit: UNIGE / Michel Milinkovitch The shape-shifting clouds of starling birds, the order of neural networks, or the anthill structure: Nature has many complicated systems whose behaviors can be modeled using mathematical tools. The same holds for the labyrinthine patterns created by the...

The Dragon craft, which reached the station on December 22, 2021,...
The NIAID-sponsored research study analyzed dose in adults fully vaccinated with any EUA or accepted COVID-19 vaccine. According to preliminary clinical trial results reported in The New England Journal of Medicine, an extra dose of vaccine is safe for adults who had formerly received a complete regimen of any of three COVID-19 vaccines provided by...
DETI mapping results from the brain of a person viewing one of the stimuli used in the experiment (far left). The central column shows a flattened topographical map of the electrodes over the back of the head, illustrating the variation of DETI maps at each electrode across that scalp region. On the right-hand side,...
5G means fifth-generation cellular network technology, and the technology allows wireless communication. For example, from your cellphone to a cell tower, which conducts it to the internet. 5G is a network service offered by telecommunications providers and is not the exact same thing as the 5 GHz band on your Wi-Fi router. 5G presents an...
Scientists at the UAB and the UniZar have detected a human peptide located in the brain that prevents the α-synuclein aggregates associated with Parkinson's disease and helps prevent their neurotoxicity. The research released in Nature Communications suggests that this may be one of the organism's natural systems to combat aggregation. The learning might help...
