In a study published this week in Scientific Reports, researchers from Japan’s Osaka University explain how they came up with a really small solution to the challenge of studying anti-cancer drugs incorporated into single strands of DNA.

Placenta-derived stem cells have been shown to exhibit neuroprotective function in lamb models of spina bifida. In vitro studies suggest that the mechanism is mediated by exosomes, which are small communication vesicles secreted from cells.

Researchers at Purdue Center for Cancer Research have developed an innovative, more cost-effective method to make drugs.

Doctors report that a man with HIV, who was given a stem cell transplant to treat his blood cancer, has no detectable signs of HIV 18 months after stopping anti-HIV treatment. However, a single case study does not mean that a cure for HIV of this nature is on the horizon.

Research into a new breakthrough therapy in the fight against sepsis has shown that the drug has potential to stop all sepsis-causing bacteria from triggering organ damage in the early stages of the condition.

Scientists have found a potential new drug for treating the heart damage caused by a heart attack by targeting the way the heart reacts to stress.

Scientists at USC, Queen’s University (Ontario) and Duke University have developed a new tool that can screen children for fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) quickly and affordably

Researchers have developed a faster core-allocating system, called Shenango, that could cut energy usage and costs for data centers by smartly sharing load between cores.

A first-of-its kind study has demonstrated that an artificial intelligence technique can be used to identify trauma patients who misuse alcohol. Researchers used the technique, natural language processing, to identify alcohol misusers from clinician notes in electronic health records.

When vacationers buy a stake in a beachfront timeshare, they decide in advance who gets to use the property when. The National Institute of Standards and Technology is institute a similar plan for when commercial wireless providers and the U.S. Navy attempt to share a desirable 150-megahertz (MHz)-wide section of the radio frequency (RF) spectrum for communications.
