Metabolism comprises the crucial, life-sustaining chemical reactions occurring within cells and tissues. Mitochondria, in particular, are critical hubs for such biochemical transformations. Although ...

Lupus disease complexity and variability makes accurate measurement of disease activity very challenging. Measurement of disease activity in lupus is central to clinical research and clinical trials ...

Cells operate on rules not vibes, including when on the precipice of persisting or perishing. Yet, with prior research methods, scientists studying this phenomenon had to infer how cells choose to ...

UNC School of Medicine researchers, led by Ian Shih, Ph.D., associate professor of Neurology and Biomedical Research Imaging Center, developed an improved fiber-based optical method to measure ...

A recent study by European scientists shows that highly sensitive sensors based on color centers in a diamond can be used to record electrical activity from neurons in living brain tissue. The work is ...

To improve health and help combat childhood obesity, more schools are changing physical education requirements and finding new ways to keep children active throughout the day. Researchers are ...

How do scientists peer into the brain to better understand what is happening, where, and why? By taking advantage of the brain’s electromagnetic properties or by sending radioactive markers into the ...

Iridium-based catalysts are widely used in green energy technologies, but existing methods to measure active sites on iridium catalysts are imprecise. New research from Northwestern Engineering’s ...
