The way the brain responds to traumatic injuries is a matter of intense interest to medical scientists investigating concussion and its significant health impacts. Through experiments on mice in which a key set of immune cells were essentially reset af… Continue reading “Reset button” for cells in the brain hints at new treatments for concussion
In the event of a traumatic brain injury (TBI), chemical changes take place that can act as precursors for secondary damage, and scientists at Ohio State University have demonstrated a new monitoring device that can pick up these warning signs. The tea… Continue reading “Unprecedented” chemical sensor detects signs of injury in brain fluid
Scientists have collected viruses from almost-15,000-year-old ice samples, taken from glaciers on the Tibetan Plateau. Dozens of species were found to be unknown to science, which could provide an intriguing look back at the history of viral evolution….

Scientists may be able to detect the presence of dark matter by searching for anomalous heat signatures from distant alien worlds. Dark matter is an enigmatic, invisible substance that is thought to make up around 80 percent of the universe’s mass.Cont… Continue reading Exoplanets could be used as colossal detectors in hunt for dark matter
Astronomers have discovered a black hole that may set a new record or two – it seems to be both the smallest black hole ever detected, and the closest one to Earth found so far.Continue ReadingCategory: Space, ScienceTags: Astronomy, Black hole, Stars,… Continue reading “Unicorn” may be smallest and closest black hole to Earth
Scientists continue to break new ground in the realm of cellular reprogramming, a burgeoning area of medical research where one type of cell is retrained to fulfill the role of another. A team at Ohio State University (OSU) has leveraged this technolog… Continue reading Reprogrammed skin cells restore motor function in stroke-affected mice
Despite their name, black holes can give off bright flares of light, usually as they shred stars that wander too close. Most of those are one-off events, but now astronomers have discovered an extragalactic Old Faithful that fires up like clockwork eve… Continue reading Black hole flares up on precise 114-day cycle as it slowly eats star
A novel cancer vaccine is moving to Phase 1 human trials in the United States after promising results from animal studies showed encouraging efficacy and a robust safety profile. A new study describes the vaccine as producing complete responses in 90 p… Continue reading Experimental cancer vaccine passes animal tests, moves to human trials
Earth isn’t the only place that’s heating up of late – the universe seems to be too. Astronomers at Ohio State University have taken the mean temperature of cosmic gas at different distances and ages, and found that it’s roughly 10 times hotter today t… Continue reading Mean temperature of the universe is rising over billions of years
