The artificial retina, created by scientists from Yonsei University and the Institute of Basic Science, consists of two main components: a phototransistor array and three-dimensional liquid metal electrodes. The phototransistor array is an array of tiny light-sensitive devices…
Immune cells unexpectedly turn out to be a crucial component of the body's endurance. A new study by a team from Tsinghua University has shown that without B cells, muscles are less able to cope with stress, and the body's energy metabolism is restructured, and…

A study by a team from the University of Chicago has shown that it's not just vascular damage or lack of oxygen that plays a key role, as was previously thought, but also a direct biological connection between the lungs and…
Scientists have discovered that the peptide dermicidein, present in the human body, provides effective protection against the influenza virus, reports News Medical. Dermicidein acts by binding to the hemagglutinin protein, which is essential for viral penetration…
The researchers created personalized digital copies of the heart for each of the ten study participants based on 3D MRI images. Using these models, they studied the heart's electrical activity, identified sources of ventricular tachycardia, and optimal…
