[ad_1] Kate Middleton looked absolutely stunning when she wore a bright pink, metallic gown while visiting Belize with Prince William. Kate Middleton always makes a statement no matter where she goes and that’s exactly what she did on her latest visit to Belize. The 40-year-old Duchess of Cambridge looked gorgeous when she wore a custom,…
[ad_1] Over the Academy Awards’ long history, winners have been celebrated, and records have been broken! Here is a look at the actors, directors, and visionaries who have won the most Oscars. Winning an Academy Award is one of the biggest honors in the film industry. For many, it’s the goal that they strive for,…
[ad_1] According to estimates by the World Health Organization (WHO), between six and seven million people worldwide, predominantly in Central and South America, are infected with the Trypanosoma cruzi species of trypanosome. This single-celled (protozoan) parasite causes Chagas disease (American trypanosomiasis), which in the acute phase is inconspicuous: only in every third case does the…
[ad_1] When something goes wrong during DNA replication, cells call their own version of 911 to pause the process and fix the problem — a failsafe that is critical to maintaining health and staving off disease. Now, scientists at Van Andel Institute and The Rockefeller University have for the first time revealed how a key…
[ad_1] Research from the Francis Crick Institute has revealed a key mechanism which increases tolerance to drugs amongst microbial communities. The findings could help the development of more effective antifungal treatments. Antimicrobial drug resistance and tolerance occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites no longer respond, or have less sensitivity, to treatments. It is a…
[ad_1] A new computational approach developed by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center successfully combines data from parallel gene-expression profiling methods to create spatial maps of a given tissue at single-cell resolution. The resulting maps can provide unique biological insights into the cancer microenvironment and many other tissue types. The study…
[ad_1] Social mingling shapes and transforms the ‘vocabularies’ of apes, just like in humans, according to new research led by the University of Warwick. In a paper published by Nature Ecology and Evolution, researchers have proved that wild orangutans demonstrate distinct ‘vocal personalities’ that are moulded depending on the social groups in which individuals live…
[ad_1] It’s not easy to be sure that drugs and supplements with twisted — or chiral — structures are turning in the correct direction. Now, twirling infrared light can probe both the structures of molecular crystals and their twists, research led by the University of Michigan has shown. The researchers hope that the technique could…
[ad_1] DNA is often likened to a blueprint. The particular sequence of As, Cs, Gs, and Ts in DNA provides information for building an organism. What’s not captured by this analogy is the fact that our DNA requires constant upkeep to maintain its integrity. Were it not for dedicated DNA repair machinery that routinely fixes…
[ad_1] Scientists who helped to pioneer the use of enzymes to eat plastic have taken an important next step in developing nature-based solutions to the global plastics crisis. They have characterised an enzyme that has the remarkable capacity to help break down terephthalate (TPA), one of the chemical building blocks of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic,…
