University of Arizona researchers have developed chemical probes that modify proteins in mosquito larvae gut, hindering their food digestion and growth. Tucson, March 21, 2024.- Mosquito-borne illnesses remain a formidable challenge threatening millions of people each year with diseases such as malaria, dengue, zika and chikungunya. To develop a mosquitoContinuar Leyendo
Many studies on the climate crisis focus on researching temperature extremes on a global scale. Scientists at the University of Vienna have now uncovered an error in an established calculation method, leading to a systematic underestimation in the frequency of heat days. The error is based in the previously unnoticedContinuar Leyendo
Bern, March 06, 2024.- Researchers at the University of Bern have investigated the process of decomposition on pig carcasses left in nature. The researchers discovered that the previous standard method for assessing decomposition in Switzerland needs to be adapted – with an impact on forensic analysis. The method presented byContinuar Leyendo
Tempe, March 06, 2024.- Accurate time-of-death estimates are a mainstay of murder mysteries and forensic programs, but such calculations in the real world are often complex and imprecise. In a first-of-its-kind study, Arizona State University researchers and their colleagues have discovered a group of common microbes that work together specificallyContinuar Leyendo
In a series of studies, a team of astronomers has shed new light on the fascinating and complex process of planet formation. The stunning images, captured using the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (ESO’s VLT) in Chile, represent one of the largest ever surveys of planet-forming discs. The researchContinuar Leyendo
París, 29 de Febrero de 2024.- Un equipo de investigadores e investigadoras ha detectado vapor de agua en el disco que rodea una estrella joven exactamente en la zona en la que pueden estar formándose planetas. El agua es un ingrediente clave para la vida en la Tierra, y tambiénContinuar Leyendo
A study by a scientific team from the University of Vienna and the MedUni Vienna, recently published in the top-class journal Cellular & Molecular Immunology, has a promising result from tumor research: The enzyme phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHDGH) acts as a metabolic checkpoint in the function of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) andContinuar Leyendo
Long-term followup study reveals “tremendous survival advantage” of combining biventricular pacemakers with simpler implantable cardioverter-defibrillators for eligible heart failure patients. Alberta, Feb 27, 2024.- Recently published research in the New England Journal of Medicine reveals the power of cardiac-resynchronization pacing in addition to an implantable defibrillator to save lives in patientsContinuar Leyendo
Ithaca, 22 Feb, 2024.- Although it is one of the oldest medications used to treat patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and an effective treatment for an associated arthritis condition called spondyloarthritis (SpA), sulfasalazine’s mechanism of action has been unclear. Now researchers at the Jill Roberts Center for IBD andContinuar Leyendo
Using the European Southern Observatory’s (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT), astronomers have characterised a bright quasar, finding it to be not only the brightest of its kind, but also the most luminous object ever observed. Quasars are the bright cores of distant galaxies and they are powered by supermassive blackContinuar Leyendo
