| Reinterpreting our brain's body maps Posted: 21 Jan 2022 09:48 AM PST Our brain maps out our body to facilitate accurate motor control. For a century, the body map has been thought to have applied to all types of motor actions. Now, a research group has revealed that the body relies on multiple maps based on the choice of motor system. |
| AI light-field camera reads 3D facial expressions Posted: 21 Jan 2022 06:43 AM PST Machine-learned, light-field camera reads facial expressions from high-contrast illumination invariant 3D facial images. |
| Motor proteins haul precious cargo in neurons: How can we control their movement? Posted: 20 Jan 2022 01:51 PM PST Inside neurons, motor proteins haul precious cargo, moving essential goods along thread-like roadways called microtubule tracks. |
| Nano bubbles could treat, prevent current and future strains of SARS-CoV-2 Posted: 20 Jan 2022 06:11 AM PST Scientists have identified natural nano-bubbles containing the ACE2 protein (evACE2) in the blood of COVID-19 patients and discovered these nano-sized particles can block infection from broad strains of SARS-CoV-2 virus. The protein acts as a decoy in the body and can serve as a therapeutic to be developed for prevention and treatment for current and future strains of SARS-CoV-2 and future coronaviruses. It could be delivered as a nasal spray. |
| Estrogen-regulated brain circuit helps females control obesity Posted: 19 Jan 2022 11:28 AM PST Researchers identified an estrogen-activated neurocircuit that stimulates thermogenesis, or body heat production, and physical activity in animal models. |
| Team advances research on muscle health Posted: 19 Jan 2022 10:50 AM PST Researchers have published findings that could contribute to future therapeutics for muscle degeneration due to old age, and diseases such as cancer and muscular dystrophy. |
| The Xa factor: Pushing back on atherosclerosis Posted: 19 Jan 2022 09:14 AM PST New research sheds light on the mechanism by which Rivaroxaban suppresses factor Xa and successfully attenuates atherosclerosis. |
| When people 'click' they respond faster to each other Posted: 19 Jan 2022 09:14 AM PST When two people are on the same page in a conversation, sometimes their minds just 'click.' A new study demonstrates that clicking isn't just a figure of speech but is predicted by 'response times' in a conversation or the amount of time between when one person stops talking and the other person starts. |
| To stop blood cancer, target the bone Posted: 19 Jan 2022 09:13 AM PST New research suggests that targeting neighboring bone cells may be a better strategy than targeting malignant stem cells to treat acute myeloid leukemia. |
| Warm season and emergency department visits to US children’s hospitals Posted: 19 Jan 2022 09:11 AM PST Evidence shows that high temperatures lead to excess morbidity and mortality in adults, but less is known about how heat affects children. A new study evaluates the impacts of heat on children's health in all major regions around the country. |
