A new study provides the first evidence of a direct interaction between kisspeptins, proteins crucial for sexual development, and astrocytes, non-neuronal cells of the nervous system, blazing new trails towards understanding the reproductive system's regulation.
The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) recently announced changes to its leadership. The changes take effect Sept. 1, according to the department.
Scientists have made a significant leap forward in the field of chiral molecules. The team achieved near-complete separation in quantum states for these essential components of life.
North Carolina GOP gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson, a Trump-backed weirdo with a penchant for violent, misogynistic, and homophobic rhetoric, is plagued with scandals. Robinson will likely lose to Josh Stein, and I'm sure his comments about "killing" people don't help his campaign.

Edema, another name for swollen ankles, is a common condition that can afflict anybody, no matter their age or way of life. Ankle swelling may seem like a small inconvenience, but it can also indicate serious underlying medical concerns that need to be taken seriously. By being aware of the causes, you can take the appropriate action to control or avoid this condition.
Researchers resent a new molecule for visualizing the sphingomyelin metabolism. This offers prospects for innovative therapeutic approaches in infection research.
Companies that want the EPA's stamp of approval can no longer use a method criticized by some as a greenwashing tactic.
Immersive virtual reality could open up a whole new world for people with intellectual disability, enabling them to learn practical life skills much faster without relying on caregivers, according to a new study.
Our bodies and organs are shielded from the external environment by tissue barriers like the skin. These barriers must be tightly sealed to prevent unwanted substances from entering. This sealing is achieved through structures called tight junctions. However, how these tight junctions form has long been a mystery. Now, biologists have uncovered that the proteins responsible for these seals form a liquid-like material on the cell surface much like the water that condenses on a cold window.
Blinding diseases lead to permanent vision loss by damaging photoreceptor cells, which humans cannot naturally regenerate. While researchers are working on new methods to replace or regenerate these cells, the crucial question is whether these regenerated photoreceptors can fully restore vision. By studying zebrafish, an animal naturally capable of photoreceptor regeneration, a team showed that regenerated photoreceptors are as good as original ones and regain their normal function, allowing the fish to recover complete vision.

A 'tag-team' between the oceans and continents millions of years ago devastated marine life and altered the course of evolution on Earth, according to a new study. Scientists say a string of severe environmental crises which happened between 185 and 85 million years ago triggered mass extinctions among ocean-living species.
Researchers created a new quantum state of matter, dubbed a higher-order topological magnet, that may address key issues in quantum technology.
