By changing their shape, some bacteria can grow more resilient to antibiotics Posted: 30 Jan 2021 06:27 AM PST New research demonstrates how certain types of bacteria can adapt to long-term exposure to antibiotics by changing their shape.

Turning on the switch for plasticity in the human brain Posted: 29 Jan 2021 12:37 PM PST Scientists describe how glutamate signals are transmitted across synapses to turn on the switch for synapatic plasticity, the ability of synapses to strengthen or weaken over time in response to increases or decreases in their activity.

Detecting ADHD with near perfect accuracy Posted: 27 Jan 2021 02:18 PM PST A new study has identified how specific communication among different brain regions, known as brain connectivity, can serve as a biomarker for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Pioneering research unravels hidden origins of Eastern Asia's 'land of milk and honey' Posted: 27 Jan 2021 12:25 PM PST A study has revealed for the first time the ancient origins of one of the world's most important ecosystems by unlocking the mechanism which determined the evolution of its mountains and how they shaped the weather there as well as its flora and fauna.

A little soap simplifies making 2D nanoflakes Posted: 27 Jan 2021 12:25 PM PST The right combination of surfactant, water and processing can maximize the quality of 2D hexagonal boron nitride for such products as antibacterial films.

New report charts path toward superior earthquake recovery Posted: 27 Jan 2021 12:25 PM PST A committee of experts has urged officials at all levels of government to support research and policies that could help get the buildings and services society depends on up and running quickly after an earthquake. In a report delivered to Congress, the committee outlines seven recommendations that, if acted upon, may greatly improve the resilience of communities across the nation.

A metalens for virtual and augmented reality Posted: 27 Jan 2021 12:25 PM PST Researchers have developed a two-millimeter achromatic metalenses that can focus RGB (red, blue, green) colors without aberrations and developed a miniaturized display for virtual and augmented reality applications.

First ever 'pioneer' factor found in plants enables cells to change their fate Posted: 27 Jan 2021 11:01 AM PST To start the process of unpacking tightly bundled genetic material, plants depend on the LEAFY pioneer protein, according biologists.

How breast cancer cells hide from immune attack Posted: 27 Jan 2021 11:01 AM PST Researchers at the Indiana University Melvin and Bren Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center have identified how breast cancer cells hide from immune cells to stay alive. The discovery could lead to better immunotherapy treatment for patients.

Pain patients who take opioids can't get in the door at over half of primary care clinics Posted: 27 Jan 2021 11:01 AM PST People who take opioid medications for chronic pain may have a hard time finding a new primary care clinic that will take them as a patient if they need one, according to a new 'secret shopper' study of hundreds of clinics across the country. Stigma against long-term users of prescription opioids, likely related to the prospect of taking on a patient who might have an opioid use disorder or addiction, appears to play a role.
