Scientists have identified a clue to the molecular origin of Alzheimer's disease--a clue that may also explain why women are more susceptible to the disease.
According to a study published in Science Advances, researchers discovered that the brains of women had significantly higher amounts of a modified immune protein which could signal the existence of Alzheimer's.
A landmark study has revealed that dinosaurs dominated the world right up until a deadly asteroid hit the earth, leading to their mass extinction, some 66 million years ago.
Scientists at the University of Birmingham in the UK and Beijing Normal University in China, demonstrated that the therapy, which is non-invasive, could improve short-term, or working memory in people by up to 25 per cent.
Engineers at Duke University have developed a device that uses sound waves to separate and sort the tiniest particles found in blood in a matter of minutes. The technology is based on a concept called "virtual pillars" and could be a boon to both scientific research and medical applications.
Laser light therapy has been shown to be effective in improving short-term memory in a study published in Science Advances. Scientists at the University of Birmingham in the UK and Beijing Normal University in China, demonstrated that the therapy, which is non-invasive, could improve short-term, or working memory in people by up to 25 per cent.
Climate change is emerging as a top threat to biodiversity according to the latest Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services. Plant and animal species face greater risks of thermal stress as climate change pushes temperatures beyond their thermal tolerance.
