Immune cells may actually disrupt moisturizing glands and cause dry eye disease

Immune cells that normally rush in to protect the eyes from infection might actually be disrupting moisturizing glands and causing dry eye, a disease that afflicts more than 30 million people in the United States.

Parkinson's therapies being developed may benefit everybody with the disease

A gene linked to 3 to 4 percent of people with Parkinson's disease could play an important role in most, if not all, people with the disease, according to new study findings from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and UPMC.

Cornell University researchers achieve world's highest resolution images using ptychography

Researchers at Cornell University have used ptychography to achieve the highest resolution ever produced in an electron microscope. The team, led by David Muller, Professor of Applied and Engineering Physics, recently reported their findings in the July 19th issue of Nature, outlining their ability to resolve images to a resolution of 0.39 Å.

New technique could provide insights about behavior of biomolecules in watery environments

Tinkering with a method they helped develop over the last few years, scientists have for the first time measured at the nanometer scale the characteristic patterns of folds that give proteins their three-dimensional shape in water.

Scientists study adverse effects of carbon, silicon nanotubes and carbon nanofibers

Nanoparticles with a wide range of applying, including medicine, damage cells of microalgae Heterosigma akashivo badly. This algae species is widely spread in the Russian Far East marine area. The acute toxic effect exhibited at concentrations of 100 mg/l of carbon nanotubes and silicon nanotubes in the sea- or fresh water.

Origins of bread found 14,400 years ago in Jordan

Scientists have found the remnants of a meal shared by a group of Natufian hunter-gatherers around 14,400 years ago. They noted the expected varieties of meat including those from a gazelle, waterfowl and hare and were surprised with three to four types of flat bread made up of mixed grain.

New software helps microscopes to autonomously and efficiently identify dendritic spines

Is it possible for microscopes to learn a bit about the brain? Even be taught by neuroscientists to reliably recognize parts of brain cells... all on their own?

Researchers use Tecan Spark multimode reader to investigate epidermolysis bullosa

Researchers at the University Hospital of Salzburg's EB House Austria are using a Tecan Spark multimode reader to investigate epidermolysis bullosa, a rare inherited disease that causes the skin to become ‘as fragile as a butterfly’s wings’, blistering in response to friction or trauma.
