New miniature heart could help speed heart disease cures — ScienceDaily
There’s no safe way to get a close-up view of the human heart as it goes about its work: you can’t just pop it out, take a look, then slot…
Simulating Supernova Remnants and Star Formation With a High-Power Laser in Earthbound Lab
Animation showing the formation of a supernova remnant. High-power laser and foam ball show how blast waves from supernova remnant might trigger star formation in a molecular cloud. Molecular clouds…
Particle Collisions at World-Record Energy Levels
The Large Hadron Collider, the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator, restarted on April 22, 2022, after more than three years of maintenance, consolidation, and upgrade work. Beams of…
Federal research funding has positive ‘ripple effects’ — ScienceDaily
Federal funding for biomedical research has a “ripple effect” of stimulating new studies even beyond the original purposes of a grant and may provide unexpected benefits, a new study suggests.…
Scientists had previously suspected that an overactive immune system was at the root of the syndrome — ScienceDaily
A UCLA-led team of researchers studying the effect of the monoclonal antibody Leronlimab on long COVID-19 may have found a surprising clue to the baffling syndrome, one that contradicts their…
Scientists show how the brain responds differently to seeing the same thing under different conditions — ScienceDaily
For years, the brain has been thought of as a biological computer that processes information through traditional circuits, whereby data zips straight from one cell to another. While that model…

Less prostate cancer screening reduces overdiagnosis but may miss aggressive cases — ScienceDaily
Over the past 15 years, public health authorities have downgraded recommendations for the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test as a screening tool to reduce the overdiagnosis and overtreatment of men with…
Sialylation of the epidermal growth factor receptor modulates cell mechanics and enhances invasion — ScienceDaily
For more than two decades, University of Alabama at Birmingham researcher Susan Bellis, Ph.D., has studied how the addition of sialic acid to various proteins increases cancer resistance and oncogenicity.…
Evidence suggests cancer is not as purely genetic as once thought — ScienceDaily
While cancer is a genetic disease, the genetic component is just one piece of the puzzle — and researchers need to consider environmental and metabolic factors as well, according to…
