New research shows that a microfluidic squeezing technology helps stimulate anti-tumor activity in a subtype of HPV16-positive cancers.

A ball, a saddle, or a flat plate. The curvature of biomaterials inhibits or stimulates bone cells to make new tissue. This study of geometries could be an important step in research into repairing damaged tissues.

Two studies found that adults who live a heart-healthy lifestyle tend to live longer and in optimal health compared to those with low cardiovascular health scores.

People who had higher scores for sleep health -- based on regularity, satisfaction, alertness, timing, efficiency and duration -- during a 12-month weight loss program were more likely to follow the caloric intake and exercise components of the program in comparison to peers who scored lower for sleep health.

For older adults with clinical depression that has not responded to standard treatments, adding the drug aripiprazole to an antidepressant they're already taking is more effective than switching from one antidepressant to another, according to a new multicenter study.

Cancer cells have an innate randomness in their ability to respond to chemotherapy, which is another tool in their arsenal of resisting treatment, new research shows.

The earliest evidence of horse riders has likely been found by an international team of archaeologists and bioanthropologists.

Researchers have successfully predicted whether children have anemia using only a set of smartphone images.

Sea level rise this century may disproportionately affect certain Asian megacities, according to new research that looks at the effects of natural sea level fluctuations in addition to climate change. The study identified several Asian megacities that may face especially significant risks by 2100, including Chennai, Kolkata, Yangon, Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, and Manila.

Researchers have taken an important new step in understanding the complex effects of Alzheimer's disease on the retina, a layer of tissue at the back of the eye.

A study of people ages 70 and older found walking an additional 500 steps per day, or an additional quarter mile of walking, was associated with a 14% lower risk of heart disease, stroke or heart failure.

A study has found that intense global warming could shut down the ocean's ability to soak up carbon dioxide, leading to accelerated global warming as the greenhouse gas accumulates in the atmosphere. The decline happens because of a surface layer of low-alkalinity water that emerges during extreme warming that hinders the ability of the oceans to absorb CO2. The study is based on a climate...

A new design process that uses generative design but also seeks feedback from humans is more effective at producing designs that are fully optimized for their purpose.

The immune system of pregnant women with anxiety is biologically different from that of pregnant women without anxiety, according to new research.

Toothed whales, such as dolphins, killer whales and sperm whales communicate and catch food exclusively with sound. Now researchers have for the first time found they evolved a new sound source in their nose that is functionally the same as the human larynx.

Previous models of Earth's recent (100 million years) geomorphology have been patchy at best. For the first time a detailed continuous model of the Earth's landscape evolution is presented, with potential for understanding long-term climate and biological development.

Social animals should limit individuality to conform with the behavior of the group, a study suggests.

Mathematical research brings new understanding of crowd formation and behavior.

Researchers have developed a dual-purpose catalyst that purifies herbicide-tainted water while also producing hydrogen.

Once upon a time, prevailing scientific opinion might have pronounced recently published research as unneeded. Now, climate change implications have heightened the need for this line of research. Flowers emit scent chemicals called volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Earlier this year, a study identified a protein that plays a key role in helping petunias emit volatiles.

A dissolvable plug delivered stem cell therapy with few side effects in patients with single tract perianal fistulas, researchers discovered.

Researchers found changes in 'greening,' or the amount of leaves plants are able to produce, will play a significant role in how much carbon dioxide plants capture and store.

The thousands of languages spoken throughout the world draw on many of the same fundamental linguistic abilities and reflect universal aspects of how humans categorize events. Some aspects of language may also be universal to people who create their own sign languages, according to new research.

When asteroids suffer natural impacts in space, debris flies off from the point of impact. The tail of particles that form can help determine the physical characteristics of the asteroid. NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test mission in September 2022 gave a team of scientists a unique opportunity -- to observe the evolution of an asteroid's ejecta as it happened.
