by Jeni Bushman, Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology Credit: Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology Researchers at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology have used deep learning to develop a new framework for super-resolution ultrasound. Traditional super-resolution ultrasound techniques use microbubbles: tiny spheres of gas encased in a protein or lipid shell. Microbubbles...

The study’s insights may bring scientists closer to developing what they hope will become a widespread cure for the virus that causes AIDS, which has infected about 38 million...
By COLD SPRING HARBOR LABORATORY MAY 26, 2023 A recent study has found that siblings affected by autism inherit a greater proportion of their genetic material from their father rather than their mother. Researchers from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) have recently revised the commonly held genetic assumptions about autism spectrum disorder (ASD). For many years, scientists believed that siblings diagnosed with...

But scientists have figured out a way to induce a torpor-like state in the rodents which, as the Guardian reports, raises the prospect that the same thing...
Maya Yang Thu 25 May 2023 15.54 EDT Scientists using artificial intelligence have discovered a new antibiotic that can kill a deadly superbug. According to a new study published on Thursday in the science journal Nature Chemical Biology, a group of scientists from McMaster University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have discovered a new antibiotic that...
Megan Brooks March 01, 2023 Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are associated with increased motor and nonmotor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and reduced quality of life (QOL), new research shows. Results of the first study to evaluate the relationship between childhood trauma and PD investigators found that the relationship appears to be dose dependent. Patients with PD who reported more than...
