Research has shown that golfers and tennis players who perfect a consistent backswing when learning the sport can achieve results quicker than those who don't. read the full article

Researchers studying turtle-headed seasnakes living on coral reefs in the Indo-Pacific noticed something unusual about the snakes' color patterns: seasnakes living in more pristine parts of the reef were decorated with black-and-white bands or blotches. Those in...

Researchers have created a small molecule that prevents or impedes tooth cavities in a preclinical model. The inhibitor blocks the function of a key virulence enzyme in an oral bacterium, a molecular sabotage that is akin to throwing a monkey wrench into machinery to...

Single cell genomics technology has given scientists the ability to individually read the genetic blueprints of cells, the most fundamental units of life. read the full article

After using the Titan supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory to rule out a potential mechanism for galactic wind, astrophysicists are aiming to generate nearly a trillion-cell simulation of an entire galaxy, which would be the largest simulation of a galaxy...

Investigators have found that measuring changes in red blood cell deformability is a robust, sensitive method for inferring heme-induced oxidative stress. Using a simple device that measures RBC deformability, malaria progression may be assessed in a matter of...

Three NASA-funded studies will use the Aug. 21 total solar eclipse as a ready-made experiment, courtesy of nature, to improve our understanding of the ionosphere and its relationship to the Sun. read the full article

Scientists have edited the pig genome to deactivate a family of retroviruses. The results hold important implications for transplant medicine in humans. read the full article

Immune system cells called regulatory T cells appear to promote cytomegalovirus (CMV) latency in the spleen of mice, but suppress it in the salivary gland. read the full article

The origin, development, and characteristics of two types of testicular macrophage have been described. To elucidate the nature of these immune cells, the researchers used a novel cell tracing method. Their findings are of fundamental importance. They may help...
