Novel strategy to seek and destroy leukemia stem cells

Discovery using lab and animal models could provide an alternative for older, sicker patients who do not qualify for stem cell transplants. Scientists at City of Hope, one of the…

A new theoretical development clarifies water’s electronic structure

There is no doubt that water is significant. Without it, life would never have begun, let alone continue today – not to mention its role in the environment itself, with…

Polymer-Based Tunable Optical Components

Interdisciplinary Research Team from the University of Jena Develops Meta-Surface that Can Be Switched with Light. A material coating, whose light refraction properties can be precisely switched between different states,…

Releasing “brakes” in the brain

Researchers use deep brain stimulation to localize disrupted neural pathways. When certain connections in the brain do not function correctly, disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and…

A new approach to recording cellular activities

In living cells, a vast number of transient events occur simultaneously, each of them important for a given cell in carrying out its function. The faithful recording of these transient…

Neurobiology: How bats distinguish different sounds

Bats live in a world of sounds. They use vocalizations both to communicate with their conspecifics and for navigation. For the latter, they emit sounds in the ultrasonic range, which…
