What do you get when you cross a novel approach to water harvesting with a light fog? The answer: a lot more water than you expected.

An investigational vaccine called ChAdOx1 MERS protected two groups of rhesus macaques from disease caused by Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV). MERS-CoV is a relative of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

The landmark study that aims to generate robust data about how young brains mature has renewed for an additional seven years.

Salk scientists find that specialized chemosensory cells called"tuft" cells, form during pancreatitis in mice. These findings could lead to the development of new biomarkers to test for pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer.

Using magnetic nanoparticles, scientists successfully stimulated the adrenal gland in rodents to control the release of hormones linked to stress.

Genetic variability in the human immune system may affect susceptibility to, and severity of infection by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus responsible for the coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

For more than 40 years, scientists have hypothesized the existence of enzyme clusters, or “metabolons,” in facilitating various processes within cells. Using a novel imaging technology combined with mass spectrometry, researchers at Penn State, for the first time, have directly observed functional metabolons involved in generating purines, the most abundant cellular metabolites.

A new study pinpoints a particular system in a specific brain region that can be manipulated to reduce harmful binge drinking in mice.

New research is exploring whether people trust robots as they do fellow humans, which is important to understand because trust-based interactions with robots are increasingly common.

Raw-type dog foods contain high levels of multidrug-resistant bacteria, including those resistant to last-line antibiotics. The potential transfer of such bacteria between dogs and humans is an international public health risk.
