By tracking the brain activity of volunteers estimating the duration of flashing lights, scientists have uncovered the sequential neural pathway that allows us to experience the passage of time.
Two experimental drug molecules promoted myelin repair in MS disease models, pointing toward a possible future route for treating nerve damage rather than only suppressing inflammation.
The sixth annual competition showcases scientific microscopic imaging, illuminating tiny parts of nature, from individual cells to arthropods, diatoms and a zebrafish brain
The prime minister met Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen and other crew members in Ottawa.
Heart failure (HF) is a widespread cardiovascular condition that poses significant risks to a wide spectrum of age groups and leads to terminal illness. Although our understanding of the underlying mechanisms of HF has improved, the available treatments still remain inadequate. Recently, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as crucial players in cardiac function, showing possibilities as potential targets for HF therapy. These versatile molecules interact with chromatin, proteins, RNA, and DNA, influencing gene regulation. Notable lncRNAs like Fendrr, Trpm3, and Scarb2 have demonstrated therapeutic potential in HF cases.
Mark Brown from Game Maker’s Toolkit released a new video.
Something you might have dreamed about 20 years ago.
What do physicists really think about the biggest mysteries in the universe?
In this video, leading voices in theoretical physics come together to unpack the results of the Big Mystery Survey—the largest survey ever conducted of professional physicists, prepared in collaboration with the American Physical Society’s Physics Magazine.\.
